discs.
4. USE
Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
Special attention when starting the machine
8
•
Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the
workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
•
When working with the machine, always hold
it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance.
•
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
•
Insert the mains plug only when the machine
is switched off.
•
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on
Never use the machine for grinding
magnesium workpieces.
Switching on and off
•
Slide the on/off switch forwards.
•
To switch off, depress the on/off switch, this
will then jump to the 'off' position.
Do not put the machine down when the
motor is still running. Do not place the
machine on a dusty surface. Dust
particles may enter the mechanism.
Operation
•
Hold the machine firmly and move it against
the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly
across the workpiece.
•
Move the machine during roughing under an
angle of 30º - 40º across the workpiece
(Fig. 5).
Never use grinding discs for roughing!
•
The machine must always work opposite to
the direction of rotation. Therefore, never
move the machine in the other direction!
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being
pushed uncontrolled out of the cut (Fig. 6).
•
Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs
have a negative effect on efficiency of the
machine. Replace the grinding disc on time.
•
Do not put the machine down when the motor
is still running. Do not place the machine on a
dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the
mechanism.
•
Always switch off the machine first before
removing the plug from the wall socket.
