Start up
The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool, used to grind and cut steel, pipe, angle iron, brick, tile, stone and/or ceramic
pieces; to remove burrs from metal surfaces, to level and smooth welds.
Turning On
• Connect the plug to the socket.
• Slide the switch lock (A) to the front to allow the paddle
to be depressed.
• Press the paddle switch (B) to turn the tool on and
release the paddle to stop the tool.
How to hold the tool properly
Always hold the tool with both hands. One hand holding
the handle and the other the auxiliary handle. Be careful
not to obstruct the ventilation slots.
• Grinding:
For best results hold the tool 15° to 30° with respect to the
workpiece. Make back and forth movements with light
pressure at a steady pace. This way the workpiece does
not get too hot, does not discolor and does not produce
sharp edges.
• Cutting:
Do not press, tilt or oscillate the tool. Work at a moderate
speed.
The blade should always rotate in the opposite direction to
the cutting movement, never in the other direction, as
there is a risk of the tool being thrown out of control.
When cutting hard stones, it is recommended to use a
diamond cutting disc.
Useful tips
• Work with the blade in the correct position to avoid
damage to the blade.
• Press on the workpiece with a force less than the
weight of the tool to avoid overload damage to the
motor and blade.
• After installing a new blade allow the blade to rotate
without working for at least one minute. If it vibrates,
replace it immediately.
• Avoid working with wood or soft

metals such as lead. These materials saturate the disc
very quickly and make it useless.
