8 OPERATION
8.1
Pay special attention when starting the machine
Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stand.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine to avoid cutting the electric
cable.
Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on and when it has reached full
speed.
Make sure the grinding/cutting disc is not contacting the work piece before the switch is
turned on.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
When cutting into walls! Make sure to avoid hidden electrical wiring (electric shock!) or
pipes (water, gas...).
Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.
8.2
Switching On (Fig 5)
To switch on:
POWXQ5107:
press the “lock on” safety knob at the front side of the on/off switch, forward,
keep it pressed then squeeze the on/Off switch. To make operation more comfortable, your
POWXQ5107 has a slow start function. Allow the disc to reach full speed before you touch
the workpiece.
8.3
Switching Off (Fig 6)
To switch off:
POWXQ5107: simply release the ON/OFF switch, the machine will be switched OFF.
The disc will gradually slow down and eventually stop after a few seconds.
Do not put the machine down when the disc is still turning.
Never unplug a running machine, always switch off first before pulling out the
plug!
When the disc becomes jammed, for any reason, switch off the machine
immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
9 USE
9.1
Working direction (fig 7)
The machine must always work opposite to the direction of rotation. Therefore, never
move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
9.2
(Rough) grinding (fig 8)
For the best (rough)grinding results, hold the grinding wheel at an angle of between 30°
。
and
40° to the workpiece surface and guide back and forth over the workpiece in steady
movements.
