OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH

Never switch the Angle Grinder “ON” or “OFF” while under load conditions.

Always allow the Angle Grinder to come up to full speed before touching any surface.

Always take the tool away from the workpiece before turning the tool “OFF”.

Let the tool come to a complete stop before setting it down.

This tool operates best under light pressure. Exerting heavy pressure will not speed up the work and may cause damage to the motor.

ON/OFF

SWITCH

Press the “ON/OFF” switch to start the tool.

To stop, release the “ON/OFF” switch.

When continuous operation is desired, press the “ON/OFF” switch forward and depress the lock-on button. This locks the switch “ON” until the

lock-on button is released.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Always UNPLUG the tool from the power source before cleaning or maintenance.

Use compressed air to blow out any accumulated dust or grit. Tiny particles from metal grinding often accumulate inside your tool and could create an electrical shock hazard.

Never use solvents or harsh chemicals. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the casing. Never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Always keep the ventilation openings clear.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.

ACCESSORIES

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.

If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi- ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
