Rough-grinding
WARNING!
Never use cutting-off wheels for rough-grinding.
–
Angle of wheel 20–40° for best cutting performance.
–
Applying moderate pressure, move the angle grinder
backwards and forwards. As a result, the workpiece will not
become too hot and there will be no discoloration; nor will
there be any grooves.
Cut-off grinding (Figure M)
WARNING!
A special cutting guard must be used for cutting.
See manufacturer's accessories catalogue.
–
Do not press, tilt or oscillate the power tool.
