label. Use only depressed center grinding wheels rated for speed 80 m/s or more.
3. Make sure the size of the grinding wheel is compatible with size of the angle grinder
and that grinding wheel matches the spindle.
4. Store and keep grinding wheels according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Before using a grinder or installing a new wheel, inspect the grinding wheel for chips
and cracks. Remove bad wheels immediately.

prior to operation
1. Power source.
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specied on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch.
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a recep-
tacle while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immedi-
ately and can cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord.
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of suf-
cient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as prac-
ticable.
4.Mounting the wheel guard.
Be sure to mount the wheel guard at an angle that will protect the operator’s body from
injury by a broken wheel piece.
Installing wheel guard:
- Loosen the screw on the wheel guard.
- Install the wheel guard to the packing gland, turn it to the angle suitable for operation
and make adjustment.
- After the adjustment, ensure that the screw is securely tightened on the wheel guard in
order to x it completely.
5. Thoroughly check that the depressed center wheel is free of cracks, splits and other
abnormalities before mounting. Make sure it is rmly clamped and has been properly
mounted. Refer to section “Depressed center wheel assembly and disassembly”.
6. Test the grinder before using.
Before actually beginning the grinding work, test the grinder and make sure all acces-
sories are installed correctly.
Duration of the trial run is 30 seconds. Immediately turn it off in case of abnormal vibra-
tion or other malfunctions. If any malfunction appears, inspect the grinder carefully to
determine malfunction cause.
7. Check spindle lock. Make sure that the push button is disengaged by pushing lock
button two or three times before turning on the grinder.
8. Side handle installation.
Screw the side handle in into the gear cover.

Grinder operation
1. Grinding pressure
There is no need to press hard when grinding. Usually the grinder’s own weight is suf-
cient to allow the required light contact with surface to be ground. Heavy pressure can
result in wheel breakage. It can also damage the surface being ground or damage the
grinder’s motor.
2. Use proper grinding angle
Grind only with the wheel’s edge by lifting the grinder 15°-30°. Do not use the en-
tire surface of the depressed center wheel. Use only the edge of the depressed center
wheel.
3.Move the grinder in proper direction
When using a new depressed center wheel, grind transverse to the surface being ground.
Once the wheel edge is worn, the workpiece can be ground in any direction.
4.After operation.
Do not put tool until it comes to a complete stop.
CAUTION
Check and make sure the workpiece is rmly clamped.
Make sure air vents are clean when working in areas of dust. Clean the tool carefully
with nonmetallic objects.
Never use the grinder in places where the sparks generated by the grinder can ignite the
dust of fumes.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye and ear protection.
If necessary wear other safety equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet or apron.
If uncertain wear safety equipment.
If idle disconnect from the power source.
Depressed center wheel assembly and disassembly
