SWITCH
WARNING- Be sure the tool is switched off before plugging it in.
1. Plug in the tool.
2. When starting, hold the tool firmly with both hands, i.e. one hand on the housing
and the other gripping the side handle.
3. Check to make sure the abrasive disc is not obstructed.
4. Slide the switch on the left side of the machine forward, in the direction of the
marked I (ON) position, with your thumb (1, fig.VII).
Switching the tool on or off under load will damage the switch.
5. To lock the switch in the I (ON) position, press the front off the switch button
down slightly (2, fig.VII) when it has been slid all the way forward.
6. Allow the angle grinder to run at idle for at least a minute with the abrasive disc
correctly assembled but not in use. A disc that shows vibration at this stage
should be discarded immediately.
7. To stop the tool, release the on/off switch; or when the switch is engaged in
the lock-on position, press at the rear end of the switch button (fig.VIII) to
make it spring back to the 0 (OFF) position.

Turn off your tool at once, unplug and inspect it for serious problems if:
Moving parts get stuck

Speed drops to an abnormally low level

The motor housing gets hot

Sparks or odours emit from the casing

OPERATING PROCEDURES

CAUTION- Do not cover the exhaust vents while the tool is in use. This may
cause damage to the motor and reduce the efficiency of the tool.
Before starting the grinder, put on safety glasses and make sure that the

grinding wheel, guard and the tool are in good condition and correctly fitted.
Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on the rear handle and the other on the

side handle.
Turn the angle grinder on and then apply the grinding wheel to the workpiece.

For the best results, hold the grinder at a 10 - 15 degree angle to the work piece.

Guide the abrasive disc's contact point back and forth over the workpiece with a

steady motion.
Use just enough pressure to keep the grinder from chattering or bouncing.

Avoid overloading the tool for a long time, heavy pressure will decrease its

speed and put a strain on the motor.
Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before turning your grinder off.

When cutting, avoid tilting the tool out of the cutting plane. Ensure the cutting

disc has a clean edge.
Do not use a cutting disc for rough grinding.
