at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and forth with
moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece will not become too
hot, does not discolour and no grooves are formed.
Warning! Never use a cutting disc for roughing.

CUTTING
Warning! For cutting metal, always work with the wheel
guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine. Work with
moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying
sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore,
never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger
exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.
ROTATING THe GeAR CASe
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug, and
then remove the disc and guard
The gear case can be rotated with respect to the machine housing. In
this manner, the On/Off switch can be brought to an advantageous
handling position for special working situations.
Remove the 4 x screws from the gear case. Carefully rotate the gear
case in your desired direction but do NOT pull the gear case out of the
housing. If the gear case comes out of the housing the motor carbon
brushes will need replacing.
Screw in the screws again and tighten. (See Fig. F)
AUTO-STOP CARBON BRUSHeS
When the resin insulating tip (15) inside the carbon brush (16) is
exposed to contact the commutator(14), it will automatically shut off
the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be replaced.
Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both
carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes. (See Fig. G)
Working hints for your angle
grinder
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor.
Never start your angle grinder with the disc/ accessory in contact with
the workpiece.
Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed then start working.
Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the Disc's moving speed
means longer working time.
When grinding, always work with a 30° to 40° angle between disc and
workpiece. Larger angles will cut ridges into the workpiece and affect
the surface finish. Move the angle grinder across and back and forth
over the workpiece.
When using a cutting disc never change the cutting angle otherwise
you will stall the disc and angle grinder motor or break the disc.
When cutting, only cut in the opposite direction to the disc rotation. If
you cut in the same direction as the disc rotation the disc may push
itself out of the cut slot.
When cutting very hard material best results can be achieved with a
