5.3. GRINDING
5.3.1. The key to effective operating is controlling the pressure and surface contact between the disc and the workpiece.
 WARNING! DO NOT switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the work piece. Bring the rotating disc to the workpiece.
5.3.2. Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
5.3.3. Grind flat surfaces at an angle of between 10° to 20° to the work piece. Too great an angle will cause a concentration of pressure in
one small area, resulting in gouging or burning of the surface.
5.3.4. When grinding is complete, allow the workpiece to cool. DO NOT touch the hot surface.
5.3.5. Unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING! Ensure grinder is unplugged from the mains power supply before changing
accessories.
5.1. PREPARATION
5.1.1. Attach grinding/cutting disc according to section 3.2. and position the handle grip
conveniently for the task.
5.1.2. Ensure the disc safety guard is correctly positioned.
5.1.3. Plug grinder into the mains power supply.

WARNING! When the grinder first starts it will kick to the right. You must ensure, therefore,
that the tool is securely gripped in both hands. Especially important is the position chosen
for the side handle, in order to maintain stability.
 WARNING! Before use, ensure that approved safety goggles, ear defenders, an
appropriate dust mask (if dust will be generated) and safety gloves are worn, and that
all other safety instructions in Section 1 are followed carefully.
5.2. ON/OFF Switch
5.2.1. The grinder is started by a two stage switching operation. Place fingers over the switch and
using index finger, unlock the trigger by pushing the lock lever forwards and then squeeze
the trigger into the ‘ON’ position (fig.7).
5.2.2. To stop the grinder, release the trigger.
5.2.3. When the trigger is released and returns to the ‘OFF’ position, it is automatically locked to
prevent inadvertent starting.
5.2.4. The trigger can be locked in the ‘ON’ position for continuous running. To do this release the
lock and squeeze the trigger as previously described. With the trigger fully depressed, push
the lock lever one stage further forward, whilst maintaining pressure on the lock lever release
the trigger which will now stay in the ‘ON’ position.
5.2.5. To stop the grinder, squeeze the trigger to unlock it, and release the trigger.
5.2.6. If the power is cut to the grinder whilst the switch is locked ‘ON’ always release the trigger
and unplug the grinder. Do not reconnect the grinder until you are sure that the power has
been restored.
