Operating Instructions

▶ Metal Grinding

Grinding wheels should be carefully se-

lected in order to use the grinder most ef-

ficiently. Wheels vary in type of abrasive,

bond, hardness, grit size and structure.

The correct wheel to use is determined by

the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast

grinding of structural steel, heavy weld

beads, steel casting, stainless steel and

other ferrous metals.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed be-

fore touching the tool to the work sur-

face.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work

surface, allowing the tool to operate

at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest

when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 10° to 15° angle between

the tool and work surface, (Fig. 18).

4. Continuously move the tool at a moder-

ate speed to avoid creating gouges in

the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface be-

fore turning tool off. Allow the tool to

stop rotating before laying it down.

Tip: When grinding with a new wheel be

certain to grind while pulling tool back-

wards until the wheel becomes rounded

on its edge. New wheels have sharp edges

which tend to “bite” or cut into the work

piece when pushed forward.

▶ Metal Cutting

A Type 1 wheel guard

may not be included

with this tool but is required when using

a cutting wheel. Cutting with a type 27

wheel guard may not provide the operator

sufficient protection in the event of a wheel

burst.
With this grinder it is possible to perform

cutting of limited small stock such as met-

al tubes, piping or rebar. When cutting,

work with moderate feed, adapted to the

material being cut. When cutting profiles

and square bar, it is best to start at the

smallest cross section.
Always follow precautions for kickback.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed be-

fore touching the tool to the work sur-

face.

2. The tool should always be used in such

way that the sparks are directed away

from user.

3. Apply minimum pressure to the work

surface, allowing the tool to operate

at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest

when the tool operates at high speed.

4. Do not exert side pressure onto the

cutting disc. Do not tilt or oscillate the

tool as wheel may burst, (Fig. 19).

5. Remove the tool from the work sur-

face before turning the tool off. Allow

the tool to stop rotating before laying

it down.
