hand on housing, the other on side handle). Start the
tool and bring the grinding wheel on the workpiece.
2. Keep the edge of the wheel tilted at angle from 15 to
30 degrees against the surface of the workpiece.

the wheel in the B direction, otherwise, it will cut into
the workpiece. When the edge of wheel has been
rounded off, you are free to operate the grinder in
either the A or B direction.

be sure the slider switch is in the off position by pressing
the front part of the switch and releasing. Ensure the
slider switch is in the off position as described above after
any interruption in power supply to the tool, such as the
activation of a ground fault interrupter, throwing of a circuit
breaker, accidental unplugging, or power failure. If the
slider switch is locked on when the power is connected,
the tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, slide the slider switch 1 toward the front
of the tool and press, the tool will keep running. Release
pressure from the switch and the tool will stop.
LOCK FEATURE OF THE ON/OFF SWITCH
