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, 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.
When cutting very hard material best results can be achieved with a diamond wheel.
When using a diamond wheel it will become very hot. If this happens you will see a full
ring of sparks around the rotating wheel. Stop cutting and allow cooling at no load speed
for 2-3 minutes.
Always ensure the workpiece is rmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
