• Never use discs with bigger diameter
than the size required in the tool.
• Use only discs or accessories for
minimum or more than 11000 RPM speeds.
• Use only discs or accessories with an
orifice that fits perfectly in the tool spindle.
• Use only discs or accessories specifically
designed for the chosen material.
• Set apart some time and assess the job you are about to
do. Pay attention to all the necessary cautions before
starting to grind.
• Remove all the fastening wrenches from
the tool. Otherwise they can shoot away causing sever
injuries to the user.
• Double-check the guard. It should be
perfectly fastened and in good working condition. Do not
use the tool without a guard.
• Double-check the disc. It should not be
broken or cracked. Tap the disc gently with a wooden
hammer and listen for a strange sound to learn if is
cracked.
• Before plugging the tool, see if is in the
OFF position. Otherwise the tool could start unexpectedly
causing severe injuries.
• Run the tool 30 seconds before using,
to detect important vibration or any type of unusual
movement. If detected, unplug the tool and take it to a
Authorized Service Center.
• See if the disc rotates freely.
• Do not tighten the disc. It could brake.
• To work with small work pieces fasten
with wrenches. Never use your hands to hold the piece.
• Do not start the tool when the disc is
touching the work piece.
• Wear safety glasses, gloves
and an apron when using the tool.
• Keep the power cable or extension in
the back of the tool. Avoid accidentally damaging the
cables with the disc.
• Never hold the tool by the power
cable. Hold by the housing or auxiliary handle.
• Hold the tool by the isolated parts.
The cutting tool could come into contact with hidden
wiring or its own cable. Making contact with a “live” wire
causes the metal parts to electrify and give an electric
shock to the user.
• Never hit the work surface with the disc.
• To get the best result with the grinding
process, the inclination of the disc and the working
surface should have an angle measuring 15° to 30°
• When the disc is rotating never use the
spindle lock to stop it. It is very dangerous and may cause
injuries to the user.
• Do not touch the disc or the working
piece after grinding. Wait for them to cool down. Never
try to cool them down using water or oil.
• Before checking, adjusting or
changing discs, double-check the tool is not plugged in.
• Sparks caused when grinding may be
dangerous. Use caution. Make sure sparks do not get into
contact with skin or flammable substances.
