OPERATION
WARNING:
It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause
dangerous wheel breakage.
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
work.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control
leading to personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with
the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear
handle and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on
and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
