AUXILIARY HANDLE (Fig.5)
Normally auxiliary handle 6 is screwed on the
machine left side. It can be screwed also on
the machine right side or top if this is more
convenient for the operator. The machines are
equipped with a third threaded socket for cou-
pling the auxiliary handle. The auxiliary handle
for these models is connected to the body of the
machine through vibration dampers, protecting
the operator and reducing fatigue.
TURNING THE MACHINE CASE
The machine case can be turned to 90
way of mounting is implemented when the ma-
chine is used mainly for cutting-off operations.
In this case turning the machine case must be
carried out in an authorized service centre for
SPARKY power tools.
RECOMMENDATIONS
When cutting, do not apply pressure, do not os-
cillate the wheel. Work with moderate feed rate,
suited to the material to be machined.
machine must always be fed against the direc-
tion of wheel rotation. Otherwise, danger exists
for the wheel to be forced uncontrolled out of the
best to start with the smallest cross section.
When grinding do not apply pressure to the
processed surface by rearing down on the ma-
chine but move the wheel regularly backwards
and forwards. Special wheels shall be used for
processing non-ferrous metals. Best results
when roughing can be achieved with the wheel
