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 Angle Grinder firmly with both hands. One hand on the rear handle or the motor housing and the other hand on the side handle.
•To turn the Angle Grinder “ON” without locking it, apply forward pressure to the rear of the ON/OFF switch. When pressure is released, the switch snaps to the “OFF” position.
•The switch can be locked in the “ON” position, a convenience for long grinding operations. To lock the switch “ON”, firmly press froward the rear of the switch and then press down the front to lock the tab inside the notch on the body of the grinder.
•To unlock the switch, simply press the rear of the switch. The switch is spring loaded and will snap back automatically.
USING THE ANGLE GRINDER:
For best tool control, material removal and minimal loading, keep the angle between the disc and the work surface at approxi- mately 30° when grinding and
•Do not cover exhaust vents when the Angle Grinder is in use. This may cause damage to the motor and reduce efficiency.
•Guide back and forth over the work piece in a steady motion.
•When cutting avoid tilting the Angle Grinder in the cutting plane. Ensure the cut- ting wheel has a clean cutting edge.
•To cut hard stone a diamond cutting wheel is recommended.
•Do nut use cutting wheel for rough grinding.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Always UNPLUG the tool from the power source before cleaning or maintenance.
•The armature and motor are the heart of the power tool. Exercise care to ensure they do not become damaged or effected by oil or water.
•Inspect the carbon brushes regularly and replace them when they are worn. (about 1/3 of the way up)
•Regularly inspect all mountings and screws and ensure they are properly tight- ened. Failure to do so may result in serious damage.
•Consult an authorized maintenance service agent in event of damage.
•Clean and dust the Angle Grinder after each use.
•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.
