The key to effective operating is controlling the pressure and surface contact between the disc and the work piece.
WARNING! DO NOT switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the work piece. Bring the rotating disc to the work piece.
‰
5.3.2.
Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
5.3.3.
Grind flat surfaces at an angle of between 10° to 20° to the work piece. Too great an angle will cause a concentration of pressure in one
small area resulting in gouging or burning of the surface.
5.3.4.
When grinding is complete allow the work piece to cool. DO NOT touch the hot surface.
5.3.5.
Unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.

Before using a grinding/cutting disc ensure that there are no fissures or cracks. Once mounted on the grinder, test the disc before use by
facing the grinder in a safe direction (point away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and run for a short time.
▲
DANGER! Use of damaged discs is dangerous and may cause personal injury.
6.2.
Grinding and cutting discs used in association with this machine shall be of an adequate speed rating and be suitable for the job in hand.
Only persons holding a grinding wheel certificate are authorised to change grinding discs. Ensure that the speed rating on the disc is
equal to, or higher than, that of the grinder.
7. MAINTENANCE
.
7.1.
Have your power tool services by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
WARNING! Always unplug the tool before removing dust.
‰
7.3.
DO NOT use rough/wire brushes as this may damage internal parts.
