OPERATING THE RAIL GRINDER
You can expect some fluids and residues to seep, etc. from the tool during transport or storage. DO NOT put tool on a surface
that you wish to keep unsoiled.
REMINDERS: Speed up engine before making grinder wheel contact. Do all grinding at full throttle so as not to slip
the clutch. Get ready to throttle down to idle so as not to overspeed the engine when it becomes load free.
NOTE! A new tool should not be run at full throttle with no load until at least 3 full tanks of fuel have been used. This ensures
that the engine will not fail prematurely due to higher loads during the break-in period. After the break-in period the engine will
start reaching maximum horsepower after 5 full tanks of fuel.
GRIP ON HANDLES
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
2. Proper grip is important! Maintain a proper grip on the grinder whenever the engine is running and/or the grinding wheel
is rotating. Grasp the THROTTLE HANDLE with your left hand so you can control the THROTTLE properly as shown above.
With your right hand, grasp the AUXILIARY HANDLE (Foam handle).

GRINDING STANCE: Always keep your weight well balanced on both feet when grinding. Since you will exert moderate pressure
when grinding, guard against loss of balance, by being ready to hold up on the grinder in case it slips off the object being ground.
