5.TO USE THE GRINDER
Attention: Do not switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the workpiece.
Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main handle and other hand rmly around the
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as possible is pointing away
from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimum overloading, maintain an angle
between the disc and work surface of approximately 15°-30° when grinding.
Use caution when working into corners as contact with the intersecting surface may cause
the grinder to jump or twist.
d)Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e)Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control
10. ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF
OPERATION
Safety Warnings Speci c for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the speci c guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct size and shape for your selec-
ted wheel. Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

11. ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
