 The multi-functional cover with integrated opening slide makes it possible to
surface grind electrodes that have welding deposits due to the welding
process. In addition, ground electrodes can be optimised for aluminium
welding by being given a truncate cone.

The best results will be obtained by applying light pressure to the electrode while
at the same time rotating it on the disc. Remove the electrode before turning off
the grinder.
Using too much pressure while grinding will damage the grinder and require more
grinding discs; performance will suffer.
Warning : Always keep the air-intake vents clean.
