Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

To turn the grinder ON, slide the power switch forward. To turn it OFF, slide the switch backward. Some models may feature a lock-on button for continuous operation; engage this feature only when necessary and maintain a firm grip.

Grinding and Cutting

Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Hold the grinder firmly with both hands. Allow the tool to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Apply light, even pressure and move the grinder smoothly across the surface. Avoid excessive pressure, which can reduce control and damage the wheel or tool. Always direct sparks away from yourself and others.
