Kawasaki 840330 Operating the ON/OFF Switch, Rotating the Rear Handle, Maintenance and Cleaning

Page 8

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

When starting, hold the tool firmly with both hands. (One hand on the rear handle or motor housing and the other on the side handle.)

To start, push the “On/Off” switch forward, then press down slightly.

To stop, release the “On/Off” switch.

ROTATING THE REAR HANDLE

Always unplug the tool before attempting to change the guard or accessories.

Unlock the rear handle by pressing the handle release button.

Rotate handle into available left or right position of center.

Before turning tool “ON”, ensure that the handle is locked into a position.

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 on next page).
