HOW TO USE IT

Having attached your appropriate disk and secured in place, push the orange switch up to turn the angle grinder on. 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.
