HOW TO USE IT
Having attached your appropriate disk and handle to the grinder, set the correct speed for what you intend to do (details in manual attached). Simultaniously press the safety button and trigger to turn the angle grinder on, you have to keep your finger on the trigger to keep the power with your other hand on the handle. You will hold the grinder to the material with medium pressure at a specific angle, which angle will depend on the job you are doing. Once you have finished lift your finger from the trigger and allow the disk to fully stop before putting it down.
Keep fingers and cord away from the disk.
Take caution when cutting metal as sparks will fly.
