Must only be used when changing a disc.
Never press when the disc is rotating!
6. TO USE THE GRINDER
ATTENTION: Do not switch the grinder on
whilst the disc is in contact with the work-
piece. Allow the disc to reach full speed be-
fore starting to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the
main handle and other hand rmly around the
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of
the exposed disc as possible is pointing away
from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the
disc touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and
minimum overloading, maintain an angle be-
tween the disc and work surface of approxi-

when grinding.
Use caution when working into corners as
contact with the intersecting surface may
cause the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the work-
piece to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
7. CUTTING
WARNING
For cutting metal, always work
with the wheel guard for cutting.
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 discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is per-
formed 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.
