The switch function is the same as a lock-on
button. Slide the switch to "I" position and im-
mediately will be locked to work with continu-
ous operation, to unlock press the switch button
and re-locate it to its original position ("O").
Move only to the work piece then of turn on
the tool.
When the carbon brushes are worn, the tool will
turn off automatically.
When use a new abrasive disc, leave the ma-
chine run for a few minutes without load.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. For best control, hold the angle grinder firmly
with one hand gripping the side handle and the
other gripping the rubber-coated grip on the
body of the angle grinder.
NOTE: the starting torque creates a sudden jerk.
2. Always position the guard so that the ex-
posed grinding disc is pointing away from the
operator.
3. After starting the tool, apply the grinding disc
to the workpiece.
NOTE: do not turn the angle grinder "ON" or
"OFF" while the grinder is in contact with the
workpiece. It will decrease the life of the trig-
ger switch and could cause damage to the work-
piece.
NOTE: be prepared for a stream of sparks when
the disc touches metal.
4. Tilt the angle grinder at a 15º to 30º angle for
easy handling and smooth grinding.
This will make it easier to remove the disc from
the workpiece, and will prevent unnecessary
overloading.
5. Apply the grinding disc to the work surface
using light, steady pressure for grinding effi-
ciency.
WARNING: do not apply unnecessary pres-
sure. The weight of the tool applies adequate
pressure. Excessive or sudden pressure will over-
load the motor, cause a drop in the speed and
put dangerous stress on the grinding disc, pos-
sibly causing breakage and injury.
6. When using a new grinding disc, do not move
the disc in a forward direction (A) on the work-
piece. Doing so will cause the edge of the disc
12
to cut into the surface of the workpiece. While
grinding, the direction of movement should
be backward, toward the operator (see image
above).
WARNING: do not use a disc with a centre
indentation after it has been worn to a 3" diam-
eter. The continued use of a worn-out disc may
result in disc explosion and serious injury.
WARNING: before each use, inspect the an-
gle grinder, the ON/OFF trigger switch, and the
cord for any damaged, missing, or worn parts.
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding
of moving parts, or any other conditions that
may affect the operation. If abnormal vibration
or noise occurs, turn the tool off immediately
and have the problem corrected before further
use.
CUTTING
The finished will be perfect if you make it with
a straight angle and with a middle pressure. If
you apply too much pressure, it may result in the
collapse of the disc and can cause severe injuries
to the operator and bystanders.
Don't press the cutting disc side. When making
long cuts, outlined or channel cuts, always starts
by the shorter work piece section.
When making masonry cuts, always cut with a
cutting guide. The cut direction is very impor-
tant on this kind of operation. The tool must
work in the opposite side to the rotation direc-
tion of the cutting disc.
CAUTION: it will generate sparks when you
grinded on metal. Be careful that it doesn't
make contact with combustible materials
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: it's recommended that all repa-
rations been made by an authorized service
center.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before each use inspect the tool, the switch and
the wire to check any damage. Verify that don't
have damaged, missing or worn parts. Check
if there are lost screws, misalignment or loose
moving parts or any other condition that may
affect the operation.
If an abnormal vibration or noise occurs, imme-
diately turn off the machine and solve this issue
before to try use again.
