Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
Always secure the item to be worked with cramps or the
like. Never hold the item to be worked by hand.

Never use discs with a maximum RPM less than that of the
tool.
Never use oversized discs. Do not use discs with a thick-
ness greater than 8 mm.
Never use damaged or worn discs, or discs that cannot be
easily fitted to the grinder spindle. Never use an adapter
ring or the like to fit discs with holes that are too large for the
grinder spindle.
Never allow the disc to be in contact with the item to be
worked - or other objects - when starting the grinder.
Never place your hand or fingers near the disc while the
grinder is running.
Keep the power cable well clear of the working area.
Keep the handles and the grinder as a whole free of oil,

Loosen the screw on the disc shield (6), and adjust the shield
11,000 RPM
to the required angle. The shield must be positioned to pro-
tect the user if the disc (1) shatters during use. Retighten
the screw.
Check that the spindle lock (2) is not locked and that the
disc can freely rotate.
Switch the grinder on using the on/off button (3), and let it
run for 30 seconds to check that it is working correctly and
that there are no abormal vibrations. Stop the grinder imme-
diately if heavy vibration occurs, and investigate the cause.
Use
Hold the handle and side handle firmly and switch on. Avoid
blocking the ventilation slots (4) with your hand, as this may
cause the grinder to overheat. Let the disc reach full speed.
Apply the grinder to the item. Maximum effect is achieved
when the grinder is held at an angle of 15-30° in relation to
the item.
Move the grinder gently along the item. Give the grinder
time to work. It is rarely necessary to press the disc hard
against the surface to be worked.
Sparks can occur in the motor compartment during use. This
is normal and does not mean the grinder is defective.
Switch off the grinder after use.
