3. Fit the threaded outer flange (14)
making sure it is facing in the correct
direction for the type of wheel fitted. For
thick grinding wheels Fig. 5, the flange
(14) is fitted with the raised portion
facing towards the wheel. For thin
grinding wheels, the flange (14) is fitted
with the inner portion facing away from
the wheel.

4. Press in the spindle lock button and
rotate the spindle until it locks. Keeping
the lock button pressed in, tighten the
outer flange with the spanner wrench
provided as shown in Fig. 6. Hubbed
wheels do not require mounting flanges
and may be tightened with standard
wrenches.

5. When using a depressed-center wheel,
hold the tool so that an angle of
approximately 30° exists between the
wheel and the work.
WARNING: Check rated speed on
depressed-center wheel. Never use a
wheel with rated speed lower than the
speed on the nameplate of the tool.
Note: Sanding flap discs are considered to
be grinding wheels and must be used with
guards.
FITTING WIRE BRUSHES
Wire cup brushes screw directly on the
spindle of the machine without the use of
flanges. When using wire brushes, thread
firmly on spindle by hand. The guard may
be removed for brushing with flat wire
brushes.
EDGE GRINDING
Edge grinding may be done with Type 27
depressed center wheels specifically
designed for this purpose. These wheels
are available locally. They must not be
subject to side pressure. CAUTION:
Wheels used for edge grinding may break
if they bend or twist while being used for
cut-off work or deep grinding. To reduce
the risk of serious injury, limit the use of
these wheels to shallow cutting and
notching (less than 1/2 inch in depth). The
open side of the guard must be positioned
away from the operator.
SANDING
REMOVING THE WHEEL GUARD (FIG. 7
FOR SANDING AND USING FLAT WIRE
BRUSHES.)
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL.
NOTE: To prevent loss of control, do not
set tool down until accessory has
completely stopped turning.
As shown in Fig. 7, place the grinder on a
table, spindle up. Use a screwdriver to
remove the 3 screws (6). Remove the
flange (7), guard (4) and spring washer
(8). Store these parts carefully.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN
SANDING PAINT
1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty
of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning
is to children and pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or
not a paint contains lead without a
chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding
any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should
enter the work area where the paint
sanding is being done until all cleanup
is completed.
2. A dustmask or respirator should be
worn by all persons entering the work
area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has
difficulty breathing.
NOTE: ONLY THOSE DUSTMASKS
SUITABLE FOR WORKING WITH LEAD
PAINT DUST AND FUMES SHOULD BE
USED. ORDINARY PAINTING MASKS
DO NOT OFFER THIS PROTECTION.
SEE YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE
DEALER FOR THE NIOSH APPROVED
PROPER MASK.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
1. Paint should be removed in such a
manner as to minimize the amount of
dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring
should be sealed with plastic sheeting
of 4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner
to reduce tracking of paint dust outside
the work area.
FITTING ABRASIVE DISCS
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL.
Use an abrasive disc with a backing pad
for sanding with your angle grinder.
1. Remove the guard.
2. Place the flange, (backing pad and
abrasive disc sold separately) and
outer flange on the spindle as shown in
Figure 8. Figure 8A shows how to
attach an abrasive disc with a rubber
backing pad.

3. Tighten the abrasive disc as shown in
Figure 9 by depressing the spindle lock
button and turning the abrasive disc by
hand.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HELPFUL HINTS
• Hold your angle grinder with one hand on
the body and the other hand firmly
around the side handle as shown in
Figure 10.
10
• Always position the guard so that as
much of the exposed disc as possible is
pointing away from you.
• Be prepared for a stream of sparks when
the disc touches the metal. Direct away
from people and flammable materials.
