• Avoid bouncing and snagging the
grinding disc, especially when

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one
hand on grip and the other on the side
handle. Turn on the tool on and then ap-
ply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel
or grinding disc at an angle of about 15
degrees to the workpiece surface.
When using a new grinding disc, do not
work the grinder in the B direction or it will
cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of
the grinding disc has been rounded off by
use, the grinding disc may be worked in
both A and B direction.
