OPERATION
n Move the grinder continuously, at a steady, consistent
pace.
CAUTION:
If the grinder is held in one spot too long, it will
gouge and cut grooves in the workpiece. If the
grinder is held at too sharp an angle, it will also
gouge the workpiece because of concentration of
pressure on a small area.
n Use just enough pressure to keep the grinder from
chattering or bouncing.
CAUTION:
Heavy pressure will decrease the grinder’s speed
and put a strain on the motor.
Note: Normally the weight of the tool alone is
adequate for most grinding jobs. Use light pressure
when grinding jagged edges or loose bolts where
there is the potential for the grinder to snag on the
metal edge.
n Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before
turning off the grinder.
