cuttings are available for mild steel, stainless
steel, stone and brick. Diamond impregnated
discs are available for very hard materials.
3. If the grinder is used on soft metals such as
aluminum, the wheel will soon clog and will have
to be changed.
4. At all times, let the grinder do the work, do not
force it or apply excessive pressure to the wheel/
disc.
5 If cutting a slot ensures that the cutter is kept
aligned with the slot, twisting the cutter may
cause the disc to shatter. If cutting through
thin sheet material, excessive penetration can
increase the chance of causing damage.
6. If cutting stone or brick, it is advisable to use a
dust extractor.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots
clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very
simple to operate, if you do experience problems,
please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the power
at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates,
check that outer flange is tight, check that the
wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is
damaged do not use as the damaged wheel may
disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new
wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy,
the wheel will soon become clogged and will not
grind effectively.

5. If a fault can not be rectified return the tool
to an authorized dealer or its service agent for
repair.
