•	Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
	when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can

WARNING:

Only actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is not moving.

•	After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
	until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
	putting the tool down.

Grinding and sanding operation

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing and the other on the side handle. 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 15 degrees 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 direction.
