1.
Hand grip areas
Always hold your angle grinder rmly with both hands when operating (G).
2.
Grinding (G)
The best grinding results are achieved when setting the machine at an angle of 15°
to 30°. Move the machine back and forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the
workpiece will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves are formed.
WARNING!
Never use a cutting wheel for grinding
3.
Cutting ( H )
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting wheels by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important. The machine must always
work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction!
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.
WARNING!
For cutting metal, always work with the wheel guard for
cutting.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Never
start your angle grinder with the wheel/ accessory in contact with the workpiece. Always
start at no load to achieve maximum speed then start working.
Do not force the wheel to work faster, reducing the wheel’s moving speed means longer
working time.
When grinding, always work with a 30° to 40° angle between wheel and workpiece.
Larger angles will cut ridges into the workpiece and affect the surface nish. Move the
angle grinder across and back and forth over the workpiece.
When using a cutting wheel, never change the cutting angle otherwise you will stall the
wheel and angle grinder motor or break the wheel.
When cutting, only cut in the opposite direction to the wheel rotation. If you cut in the
same direction as the wheel rotation the wheel may push itself out of the cut slot.
