4. Wheels must be used only for specified applica-
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
5.
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
6. Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. A wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
7. When using dual purpose wheels always use
the correct guard for the application being
performed. Failure to use the correct guard may
not provide the desired level of guarding, which
could lead to serious injury.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1. Never use depressed center wheels or abra-
sive cut-off wheels.
2. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (espe-
cially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to
these parts could result in wheel breakage.
3. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
4. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
5. Use the specified surface of the wheel to per-
form the grinding.
6. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
7.
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
8.
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.
9.
10. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
11. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
12. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or
badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-cir-
cuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.
13. Do not use the tool on any materials contain-
ing asbestos.
14. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
15. If a blotter is attached to the wheel, do not remove
it. The diameter of the blotter must be larger than
the lock nut, outer flange, and inner flange.
16. Before installing a grinding wheel, always
check that the blotter part does not have any
abnormalities such as chips or cracks.
17. Tighten the lock nut properly. Overtightening
the wheel can cause breakage and insufficient
tightening can cause fluttering.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
CAUTION:
Make sure to switch off the tool in
case of a blackout or accidental shut down such
as unplugging of the power cord. Otherwise the
tool will start unexpectedly when the power supply
is recovered and cause an accident or personal injury.
There are three patterns of the switch action depending
on country.
► Fig.1: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock lever
For tool with the lock-on switch
Country specific
CAUTION:
Switch can be locked in "ON" posi-
tion for ease of operator comfort during extended
use. Apply caution when locking tool in "ON"
position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger (in the B
direction). Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger (in the
B direction) and then push in the lock lever (in the A
direction).
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully (in the B direction), then release it.
For tool with the lock-off switch
Country specific (including Australia and New
Zealand)
To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, a
lock lever is provided.
To start the tool, push in the lock lever (in the A direc-
tion) and then pull the switch trigger (in the B direction).
Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock lever. This can cause
switch breakage.
