Fig. 4 and 5 show how to mount the flange nut (2) when using thick (4
– 8 mm) and thin (2,5 –
4 mm) discs.
8 OPERATION
8.1 Special attention when starting the machine
 Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance.
 Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine.
 Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.
 Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on
Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.
8.2 Switching On
 Press the end of the ON/OFF switch down then slide it forwards.
 The machine will start. Hold the switch.
8.3 Switching Off
 Release the ON/OFF switch, the machine will be switched OFF. The disc will gradually
slow down and eventually stop after a few seconds.
Do not put the machine down when the disc is still turning.
9 USE
 Hold the machine firmly and move it against the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly
across the workpiece.
 Move the machine during roughing under an angle of 30º - 40º across the workpiece (fig.
6).
Never use grinding discs for roughing!
 The machine must always work opposite to the direction of rotation. Therefore, never
move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut (fig. 7).
 Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on efficiency of the
machine. Replace the grinding disc on time.
 Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not place the machine on
a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the mechanism.
 Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the wall socket.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.
