Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed
air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn when undertaking this
process).
2. Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and free from grease. Do not wash with water or use
solvents or abrasive. Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool. Never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
3. Your angle grinder requires no additional lubrication. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool.
4. Always store your power tool and your accessories in a dry place and out of the reach of children.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems,
please check the following:
1. If your grinder disc wobbles or vibrates, check if the outer flange is tightened or if the disc is
correctly located on the flange plate.
2. Do not use the damaged disc as it may disintegrate. Remove it and replace with a new disc.
Dispose of old disc sensibly.
3. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the disc will soon become clogged and will not grind
effectively.
4. A small amount of battery pack leakage may occur under extreme temperatures or after heavy
use. Immediately wash any leakage from hands, skin or clothes with soap and water.
5. The power-draw from the battery generates heat. This is increased as the energy draw increases.
You will not damage the battery pack and the generated heated heat is normal. Should you desire to
cool it down, simply allow the tool to cool off prior to continuing work.
6. The battery pack may get warm when charging. This is normal. It is a result from the stepping
down of the chemical reactions inside the batteries during the charging process.
7. The charger will get warm during charging. This is normal. It is a result of the stepping down of
the main supply.
