How to use

Before use, fit an appropriate grinding wheel or disc rated for the grinder's speed and intended material. Secure the accessory according to the manufacturer's instructions and check that the guard is correctly positioned. Connect the tool to a suitable 18 V AC supply and hold it firmly with both hands while maintaining a stable stance. Begin work at a low contact pressure, allowing the wheel to remove material without forcing the tool. Move the grinder evenly across the work surface and avoid prolonged dwell in one spot to prevent overheating of the accessory or workpiece. After use, turn off and unplug the tool, allow the accessory to stop completely, and inspect for wear before storage.

Recommendations

Use eye and hearing protection, gloves and appropriate respiratory protection when grinding. Select abrasives rated for 25,000 RPM or higher and inspect wheels for cracks before fitting. For prolonged or heavy-duty work, allow periodic cool-down intervals to preserve motor and accessory life.
