the removal capacity of the disc and avoids unnecessary
overloading.
Overload
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle
grinder. This can happen if your angle grinder is subjected
to heavy duty use for prolonged periods of use. Do not in
any circumstances, attempt to exert too much pressure on
your angle grinder to speed up your work. The abrasive
discs operate more efficiently when a light pressure is
exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your angle
grinder.
MAINTENANCE
Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear
as possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and
blow through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive
build-up of metal dust can cause tracking of electrical
current from the internal parts to exposed metal parts.
Do not overload your angle grinder. Overloading causes
a reduction in speed and efficiency, causing your angle
grinder to become too hot. If this happens, operate your
angle grinder under no load for one or two minutes until
it has cooled to normal operating temperature. Switching
your angle grinder off under load will reduce the life of the
switch.
CLEANING
Use only mild soap and a slightly damp cloth to clean your
angle grinder. Many household cleaners contain chemicals
which could seriously damage the plastic. Also, do not
use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinners or similar
products. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never
immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
Important!
To assure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those
listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service personnel,
always using identical replacement parts.
