5. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease
the speed according to the material, material
thickness and disc/accessory specication to be
used (also possible during no load operation).
See Table 1 for general guidance on speed
selection. Avoid prolonged use at very low
speeds as this may damage your angle grinder’s
motor. The Constant Speed Control electronic
circuit inside your angle grinder maintains a
nearly constant speed even when your angle
grinder is under load.

6. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Must only be used when changing a disc. Never
press when the disc is rotating!
7. TO USE THE GRINDER
ATTENTION: Do not switch the grinder on whilst
the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Allow the
disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the
main handle and other hand rmly around the
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and
minimum overloading, maintain an angle
between the disc and work surface of
approximately 15
0

when grinding.
Use caution when working into corners as
contact with the intersecting surface may cause
the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the workpiece
to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
8. CUTTING
WARNING
For cutting metal, always work
with the wheel guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the
machine. Work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting
discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed
is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding
motion. Therefore, never move the machine in
the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists
of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.
