Installing or removing abrasive disc
(optional accessory)
NOTE:
•
Use sander accessories specified in this manual.
These must be purchased separately.
Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on the
rubber pad and screw the lock nut onto the spindle. To
tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that the
spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench and
securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
OPERATION
WARNING:
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause
dangerous wheel breakage.
•
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
•
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
work.
•
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
•
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.
CAUTION:
•
Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with
the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
•
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
Operation with abrasive cut-off wheel
WARNING:
•
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
During cutting operations, never change the angle of the
wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off wheel (as in
grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break, caus-
ing serious personal injury.

Grinding and sanding operation
(optional accessory)
A
B
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the work-
piece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off
by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direc-
tion.
Operation with wire cup brush
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Check operation of brush by running tool with no
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with
brush.
•
Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out
of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires.
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Thread wire cup brush onto spindle and tighten with sup-
plied wrench. When using brush, avoid applying too
much pressure which causes over bending of wires,
leading to premature breakage.
