Grinding and sanding operation
006122
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing and the other on the
side handle. Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the work-
piece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of about 15 degrees
to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder in the B
direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direction.
Operation with diamond wheel (accessory)
WARNING:
• Forcing and exerting excessive pressure or allowing the wheel to bend,
pinch or twist in the cut can cause overheating of the motor and
dangerous kickback of the tool.
CAUTION:
• After cutting operation, make sure that the diamond wheel stops
revolving completely. Then, place the tool. It is dangerous to place the
tool before turning off the tool. If there are dust or dirt around the tool, the
tool may suck in them.
Be sure that the wheel does not contact the workpiece. Turn the tool on and
hold the tool firmly. Wait until the wheel attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing
smoothly until the cutting is completed.
