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:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
•
until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear
handle 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
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A
and B direction.

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.
Mount urethane washer then thread wire cup brush onto
spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using
brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes
over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.
NOTE:
When using wire cup brush, mount urethane
•
washer to the spindle. It will make it easier to
remove wire cup brush.
