• Use extra care when working into a corner because a
sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be
experienced when the wheel contacts a secondary
surface or a surface edge.
• Don’t expose the tool to rain or snow. Don’t use the
tool in damp locations or in an environment with
explosive or corrosive gas.
• Keep your work area well lit.
• Make sure you are well balanced when using the tool
and you have secure footing. Don’t use the
tool when you are tired.
• Keep long hair away from the grinder.
• Always inspect the grinder before use – have any damage
repaired by an authorised Tools service agent.
• Make sure the disc is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
• Keep the guard in place. Do not use if guard is
missing or damaged.
• Use only discs having a maximum operating speed
at least as high as “No Load Speed” marked on the
nameplate.
• Check the disc carefully for cracks or damage before
operation. Replace cracked or damaged discs
immediately.
• Be careful not to damage the spindle or either of the
disc flanges. Damage to these parts could result in
disc breakage.
• Hold the tool firmly with two hands at all times.
• Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run
for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could
indicate poor installation of the disc or a poorly
balanced disc.
• Use only discs designed for each specified function
and purpose. Do not use cutting discs for grinding or
metal wheels on masonry.
• Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool at an angle
of approximately 15º-30º to the workpiece surface.
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. If
rotational speed drops abnormally the pressure should
be released immediately. Little more than the weight of
the tool should be applied. Forcing and excessive
pressure can cause dangerous disc breakage or
damage to the tool.
• Do not use grinder for extended periods of time.
Vibration caused by operating this tool may cause
damage to fingers, hands and arms.
1. When not in use the grinder should be stored in a dry,
frost free location not within the reach of children.
2. Keep ventilation slots of the grinder clean at all times
and prevent any foreign matter from entering.
3. If the enclosure of the grinder requires cleaning do
not use solvents but a moist soft cloth only.
4. The grease in the gearbox will require replacement/
replenishment after extensive use of the grinder.
Please see your authorised service agent to provide this service.
5. Regularly check the carbon brushes. Brushes should
be replaced before they wear out. Both brushes
should be replaced at the same time.
Note: Northern Tool + Equipment will not be
responsible for any damage or injuries caused by repair
of the grinder by an unauthorised person or by
