grinders can be tricky beasts.
you call it a grinder but for that price i am assuming it is probably a 4 1/2 in , side handle, plug in , it has switches of some sort, a guard, several collets and a variety of things to spin.
that assumed without plugging it in , how do the switches feel? if ok goto
read instructions, fit grinding disk. take edges off securely fixed scrap metal. still unharmed and want to play some more? if ok goto.
do it to a line. if ok goto.
read instructions, fit offcut disk, cut securely fixed stuff. ok? if ok goto.
practice.if ok goto.
do jobs.
ppe is a bit tricky with grinders , ballistic goggles are good. gloves need to be protective but practical for manipulating the machine. you dont want owt dangly of/or on your person.
stuff catches fire just to add to the fun
a disintegrating disc is best seen from a distance so pay attention to the instructions re choosing or fitting disks
even some of the little ones have a bit of a twist kick when you turn em on if they dont have slowstart.
all of them have personal quirks and between em can kick in a variety of ways .
be careful with it,
ps if it does not have autostop if you drop it make sure it will miss you if you do drop it. a running grinder doing a python round your thigh is a bad day at work. |
