Operation Manual

Angle grinder EN
14
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.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER
1. Always start at no load to achieve
maximum speed then start working.
2. Do not force the disc to work faster,
reducing the Disc’s moving speed means
longer working time.
3. Always work with a 15-30 angle between
disc and workpiece. Larger angles will
cut ridges into the workpiece and affect
the surface finish. Move the angle grinder
across and back and forth over the
workpiece.
4. When using a cutting disc never change the
cutting angle otherwise you will stall the
disc and angle grinder motor or break the
disc. When cutting, only cut in the opposite
direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in
the same direction as the disc rotation the
disc may push itself out of the cut slot.
5. When cutting very hard material best
results can be achieved with a diamond
disc.
6. When using a diamond disc it will become
very hot. If this happens you will see a full
ring of sparks around the rotating disc.
Stop cutting and allow to cool at no load
speed for 2-3 minutes.
7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held
or clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks
through the ventilation slots. This is normal
and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really
very simple to operate, if you do experience
problems, please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the
power at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates,
check that outer flange is tight, check
that the wheel is correctly located on the
flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel
is damaged do not use as the damaged
wheel may disintegrate, remove it and
replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old
wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft
alloy, the wheel will soon become clogged
and will not grind effectively.
