WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed
then start working.
2. Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the
Disc's moving speed means longer working time.
3. Always work with a 15-30 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.
4. 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.
5. When cutting very hard material best results can be
achieved with a diamond disc.
6. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot.
If this happens you will see a full ring of sparks around
the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no
load speed for 2-3 minutes.
7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check
that outer flange is tight; check that the wheel is
correctly located on the flange plate.
See Fig. D
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is
damaged do not use as the damaged wheel may

disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new
wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the
wheel will soon become clogged and will not grind
effectively.
