Single speed with soft start
This grinder is fitted with soft start technology. This feature operates when you start the tool by slowly increasing the power, significantly reducing any “kick” when the grinder is switched on reducing the strain on the user.
By reducing the switch on surge it also helps prolong the life of the tool.
Switching on and off
This angle grinder can be used for grinding and cutting steel, stone or ceramic workpieces such as pipe, box sections, angle iron, steel bar, house bricks and tiles. Do not attempt to grind wood or a soft metal such as lead. The material will quickly “fill” the disc and render it useless.
1.Before starting the grinder, put on safety glasses and check to make sure that the disc, guard and the tool are in good condition and correctly fitted.
2.Plug the cordset into the power socket.
3.Hold the tool firmly in anticipation of the start up torque.
4.Push the

5.Allow the grinder to
start and attain full speed before bringing the disc to the workpiece.
6.To prevent a new grinding disc from digging into the workpiece, first draw the grinder across the workpiece towards the operator. Once the leading edge of the disc is slightly worn down, grinding can be conducted in either direction.
7.Once the grinding or cutting is finished, remove the disc
from the workpiece.
8. Release the on/off switch (6) to stop the grinder.
NOTE. The disc continues to turn for a few seconds even though the switch is turned off. Keep hands well away from the moving disc.
WARNING. Do not immerse the disc into any type of lubricant including water. This angle grinder is designed as a dry grinder/cutter. Failure to observe this warning could result in a fatal shock.
Holding and guiding the tool
1.Always clamp the workpiece.
2.Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down. Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure. The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient pressure.
3.Cutting and grinding discs become very hot when in use. Take care not to touch them until they have cooled down.
4.Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full control at all times.
5.During a cutting operation, maintain an angle of 30° to 40° between the tool and the workpiece.
6.During grinding, maintain an angle of 20° to 30° between the tool and the workpiece.
Replacing a disc
CAUTION. Switch off the grinder and disconnect it from the power point.
Depressed Disc
