2. Rotate the Main Handle (5) 90° left or right from its normal central position (Fig. II)
3. Release the Handle Rotation Switch and ensure the Main Handle is locked in position before use
Operation
Switching ON/OFF
Note: Do not switch the tool ON/OFF when the Disc (10) is in contact with the workpiece. Always
allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely before placing
the angle grinder down. Always hold the tool securely, using both hands, on the handles provided.
Note: This tool features both Lock 'ON' and Lock 'OFF' using a Trigger Lock (7)
1. Grip the Main Handle (5) and Auxiliary Handle (1) firmly
2. Push the Trigger Lock (7) forward (Fig. III, position 'a')
3. Depress and hold in position to use the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (6) to start the tool (Fig. III,
position 'b')
• To lock the Trigger Switch in the 'ON' position, press the Trigger Lock and depress the ON/OFF
Trigger (Fig. III, position 'c')
• To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch. if operating with the ON/OFF Switch in the
locked position, press and release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to switch the tool 'OFF'
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and metal grinding discs
are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30° to the workpiece surface (Image B)
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the tool while grinding. Excessive pressure does not result
in more effective removal of material, but will in fact cause premature wear of the grinding disc and
increase wear and tear on the tool.
Cutting
WARNING: Always ensure that the correct guard for use with cutting discs or superabrasive
wheels is installed.
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal cutting discs are
not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and produce projectiles
that could injure the operator and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any sideways force to
cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed in the cut and shatter
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure to the tool whilst cutting. Excessive pressure does
not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in fact cause premature wear of the cutting disc
and increase wear and tear on the tool.
Note: The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually reduce in size. The
smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on the motor. To avoid damage to the tool,
only use cutting discs that are no less than 75% of their original size.
Using a cup brush or wire wheel
• Always check that the no load speed of the grinder does not exceed the max speed of the cup
brush or wire wheel
• Ensure that no part of the cup brush or wire wheel can come into contact with the tool housing
• Run the grinder, with cup brush or wire wheel attached, for at least 30 seconds before use to
check that the cup brush or wire wheel is secure, and properly balanced
• When using a wire cup brush or wire wheel, avoid applying excess pressure. Using greater force
will not make the cup brush or wire wheel more effective, but will bend the wires out of shape
and damage the brush
