Working instructions

Grinding and sanding operations:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the work-
piece 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
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed suit-
able for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
