5.2 Grinding and Cutting Techniques

Always hold the grinder firmly with both hands using the main handle and the auxiliary handle. Apply light, even pressure. Let the tool do the work.

• Grinding: Hold the grinder at a 15-30 degree angle to the workpiece. Move the tool back and forth evenly across the surface.
• Cutting: Hold the grinder perpendicular (90 degrees) to the workpiece. Make shallow passes, allowing the disc to cut through the material gradually. Do not twist or bind the disc in the cut.
