For maximum control, hold the angle grinder in
front and away from you with both hands,
keeping the grinding disc clear of the workpiece.
Start your angle grinder and let the motor and
grinding disc build up to full speed. Gradually
lower the angle grinder until the grinding disc
contacts the workpiece.
For best results keep the angle grinder tilted at
an angle of between 5° and 15° degrees and
continuously moving at a steady, consistent
pace. Move the angle grinder back and forth or
up and down over the work area. Keep the
angle grinder moving so that an excessive
amount of material is not removed from one
area. If the angle grinder is held in one spot too
long, it will gouge and cut grooves in the
workpiece. If the angle grinder is held at too
sharp an angle, it will gouge the workpiece
because of the concentration of pressure on a
small area.
Use just enough pressure to keep the angle
grinder from chattering or bouncing. Heavy
pressure will decrease its speed and put a strain
on the motor. Normally, the weight of the tool
alone is adequate for most grinding jobs. Use
light pressure when grinding jagged edges or
loose bolts where there is potential for the angle
grinder to snag on the metal edge.
Lift the angle grinder away from the workpiece
before turning it OFF.
WARNING: Always wait until the grinding
disc comes to a complete stop before setting the
tool down.
