GRINDING
Always select and use grinding discs that are
recommended for the material to be ground.
Make sure that the maximum operating speed of
the grinding disc selected is not less than
11,800 RPM.
Secure all work before beginning the grinding
operation.
Secure small workpieces in a vice or clamp to a
workbench.
WARNING: Never use your angle
grinder with the guard removed. It has been
designed for use only with the guard
installed. Attempting to use the angle grinder
with the guard removed will result in loose
particles being thrown against the operator
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Never use your angle grinder
without eye protection. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
The efficient operation of the angle grinder
begins by controlling the pressure and surface
contact between the grinding disc and the
workpiece. Flat surfaces are ground at an acute
angle, normally between 5° and 15° (Fig. 7).
For safety reasons, the operator must
read the sections of this Owner’s Manual
entitled "GENERAL SAFETY
WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL SAFETY",
"SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES",
"EXTENSION CORD SAFETY" and
"SYMBOLS" before using this angle
grinder.
Verify the following every time the
grinder is used:
1. Power cord is not damaged.
2. Grinding disc is correct for the type
of material being ground
3. Grinding disc is in good condition
and securely tightened onto the
spindle
4. Proper eye, hearing and breathing
protection are being worn.
Failure to adhere to these safety rules can
greatly increase the chances of serious
injury.
