• 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.

• 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.

urree.. Exerting heavy pressure will not
speed up the work and may cause damage to the motor.
• 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.
• The switch can be locked in the ““O
ON

operations.
• To turn the Angle Grinder ““O
ON
N”” without locking it, apply pressure to the switch
button. When pressure is released, the switch button snaps to the ““O
OFFFF”” position.
• To lock th switch ““O
ON
N””, press the switch button forward and press the lock button.
• To unlock the switch, simply press and release the lock button. Switch is spring
