• Fit the threaded outer flange and tighten
as explained in 'Fitting the discs'.
Handy hints (Fig. E)
Hold your angle grinder firmly with one
hand around the side handle and the other
around the body of your angle grinder.
• Always position the guard so that as
much of the exposed disc as possible is
pointing away from you.
• Be prepared for a stream of sparks when
the disc touches the metal.
When grinding, always maintain the correct
angle between the disc and the work
surface (15°)(Fig. D). This increases the
removal capacity of the disc and avoids
unnecessary overloading.
Overload
Overloading will cause damage to the
motor of your angle grinder. This can
happen if your angle grinder is subjected to
heavy duty use for prolonged periods of
use. Do not in any circumstances, attempt
to exert too much pressure on your angle
grinder to speed up your work. The abrasive
discs operate more e ciently when a light
pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in
the speed of your angle grinder.
MAINTENANCE
Keep guards, air vents and the motor
housing as clear as possible of dust and dirt.
Wipe with a clean cloth and blow through
with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive
build-up of metal dust can cause tracking of
electrical current from the internal parts to
exposed metal parts.
Do not overload your angle grinder.
Overloading causes a reduction in speed
and e ciency, causing your angle grinder to
become too hot. If this happens, operate
your angle grinder under no load for one or
two minutes until it has cooled to normal
operating temperature. Switching your
angle grinder o under load will reduce the
life of the switch.
