GRINDER OPERATION
1. Hold the grinder firmly by its body handle and side handle (Fig. 1)
The grinder produces a counterforce which must be controlled by firmly holding onto
the grinder.
2. Switch operation
Switch On: To switch on, slide the lock lever in the direction of A and press the
paddle lever in the direction of B as shown in Fig. 3-a.
Furthermore, slide the lock lever in the direction of C shown in Fig.3-b
while pressing the paddle lever to lock and enable continuous operation.
Switch OFF: To release the locking mode, press the paddle lever in the direction of B
shown in Fig.3-a, and release the paddle lever to switch off.
3. Use light grinding pressure.
There is no need to press hard when grinding. Usually the grinder's own weight is
sufficient to allow the required light contact with the surface to be ground.
WARNING: Do not press the grinder forcibly against the surface to be ground. Heavy
pressure can result in wheel breakage and serious injury. It can also
damage the surface being ground or damage the grinder’s motor.
4. Use proper grinding angle.
Grind only with the wheel’s edge by lifting the grinder 15° to 30°, as shown in Fig. 4.
CAUTION:
Do not use the entire surface of the depressed center wheel. Use only the edge of the
depressed center wheel.
