1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high speed.
Sanding rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the tool and work surface.
The sanding disc should contact approximately one inch of work
surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and
swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work sur-
face without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion
causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow
the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and
paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
CAUTION: Use a Type 27 guard with wire brushes and wheels.
Operators and others in the area should wear appropriate eye, face
and body protection. Strands of wire may break and fly off when
wire wheels and brushes are in use.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high speed.
Material removal rate is greatest when the
tool operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool
and work surface for wire cup brushes.
4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the work
surface with wire wheels.
5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion to avoid
5˚-15˚
creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on
the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular
motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
6. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dust and grit out of the motor housing regularly
using clean, dry compressed air. Dust and grit containing metal
particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an
electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use a clean, dry
cloth only.
