SLIDE ON-OFF SWITCH WITH LOCK
The tool is switched "ON" by the switch
button located at the side of the motor
housing. The switch can be locked in the
"ON" position, a convenience for long
grinding operations.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" without locking it,
slide the switch button forward by applying
pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the
button. When pressure is released the switch
button will snap to "OFF" position.
TO LOCK THE SWITCH "ON", slide the
switch button forward and press "IN" the
FRONT portion.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press
and release the REAR portion of the button.
Switch is spring loaded and will snap back
automatically.
SELECTING GRINDING WHEELS
Before using a grinding
!
WARNING
wheel, be certain that its
maximum safe operating speed is not
exceeded by the nameplate speed of the
grinder. Do not exceed the recommended
wheel diameter.
DISC GRINDING WHEELS
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected
in order to use the grinder most efficiently.
Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond,
hardness, grit size and structure. The correct
type of wheel to use is determined by the job.
Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of
structural steel, heavy weld beads, steel
casting, stainless steel and other ferrous
metals.
SELECTING SANDING DISC
Sanding discs are made of extremely hard
and sharp aluminum oxide grits, phenol-resin
bonded to a sturdy fiber backing for fast
heavy-duty service and long life. The discs
vary as to size and spacing of the abrasive

Hold the tool with both hands
!
WARNING
while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to
twist.
ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY (EFC)
(Model 1348AE only)
The internal electronic feedback system
provides a "soft start", which will reduce the
stresses that occur from a high torque start.
The system also helps to keep the no load
speed virtually constant between no-load and
load conditions.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch "ON" and "OFF" while the tool is
under load; this will greatly decrease the
switch life.
GRINDING TIPS
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling
the pressure and keeping the angle between
wheel and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the
wheel is flat, the tool is difficult to control. If
the angle is too steep, the pressure is
concentrated on a small area causing
burning to the work surface.
Excessive
!
WARNING
pressure on the wheel will
slow grinding action and put dangerous
stresses on the wheel.
When grinding with a new wheel be certain
to grind while pulling tool backwards until
wheel becomes rounded on its edge. New
wheels have sharp corners which tend to
"bite" or cut into workpiece when pushing
forward.
