NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
•
work.
Avoid bouncing
•
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:
Make the depth of a single cut up to 5 mm. Adjust
•
pressure on the tool so that the tool does not slow
down during the operation.
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
