Working instructions
Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Roughing: position the machine at an angle of
30° - 40° for the best working results.
Separating:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking

the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
