Operation

Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of about 1 5 O to the workpiece surface.

During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B directions.

WARNING:

It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage.

Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal injury. Depressed center wheel should not be used after it has been worn down to 115 mm (4-1/2")in diameter. Use of the wheel after this point is unsafe and it should be removed from service and rendered unusable by intentional destruction.
