3. Check that the edge of the Accessory X-Lock
Mounting Hub is correctly engaged in the
slots of the X-Lock Clamping Tabs (Fig. 10).
If the top surface of the Accessory X-Lock
Mounting Hub is higher than the "V" shaped
Clamping Height Gage (located on each side
of the X-Lock Accessory Mount), the X-Lock
accessory must not be used until this con-
dition is eliminated by cleaning the X-Lock
Accessory Mount or replacing the accessory.
Removing accessories:
Never actuate X-Lock re-
lease lever while accessory
is moving. Ejecting accessory before the acces-
sory comes to a complete stop could cause per-
sonal injury and/or property damage.
Do not touch grinding and
cutting discs until they have
cooled down. The discs can become very hot
while working.
Do not allow accessories to
fall uncontrollably after re-
lease. Falling accessories may cause personal
injury and/or property damage and can be dam-
aged.
Do not use a damaged ac-
cessory. Before each use in-
spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, in-
spect for damage or install an undamaged ac-
cessory. After inspecting and installing an acces-
sory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for
one minute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
Before removing the accessory: Make sure that
the power tool has come to a complete stop and
is disconnected from power.
1. Orient the tool to prevent the accessory
from being dropped during release.
2. Open the X-Lock Release Lever (Fig. 11):
(A) Press on the backside of the lever.
(B) Lift the front-side of the lever by pulling.
3. Remove the accessory from the tool with
care, preventing it from being dropped.
