5. Control pressure and surface contact between ac-
cessory and workpiece. WARNING! Never bang
accessory onto work.Too much pressure causes
accessory failure or slows speed.
6. When finished, turn off the tool and make sure it
comes to a complete stop before laying it down.
Using Grinding Wheels
The guard type must match the
WARNING
wheel type to provide maximum
protection for the operator if the wheel should
break.
When grinding, hold tool at a 5⁰ to 15⁰ angle, using
constant pressure for a uniform finish. Too great an
angle causes concentrated pressure on small areas
which may gouge or burn work surface.
For best result use only this portion of disc
Using Cut-Off Wheels
Cut-Off Wheels are suited for small cut-off and shal-
low notching operations only.
The guard type must match the
WARNING
wheel type to provide maximum
protection for the operator if the wheel should
break.
When using a cut-off wheel, hold the tool as shown,
using only the edge of the wheel. WARNING! Using
the face of a Cut-Off Wheel (as in grinding) will cause
the Wheel to crack and break, resulting in serious
personal injury.
Using Wire Brushes
Wire brushes are useful for removing rust, scale,
burrs, weld slag, etc.
Everyone in the area must wear
WARNING
protective clothing and safety
goggles or face shields. Fatigued wires and
residue will fly off the brush with considerable
force, causing potential for serious injury.
Never exceed Maximum Safe Operating Speed of
brush. Do not use a damaged brush or one that
is functioning improperly (throwing wires, out-
of-balance, etc.). These conditions increase the
possibility of further brush failure and possible
injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes
immediately.
A Type "27" guard must be installed when using
a wire wheel brush to provide maximum protec-
tion for the operator when fatigued wires break.
(See "Removing/Installing/Adjusting the guard".)
Always install wire brushes according to the acces-
sory manufacturer's instructions. Only use acces-
sories with threads matching the tool spindle.
Hold at a
5° to 15° angle
Test wheel for balance and loose or damaged wires
by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to
the workpiece. During this time, no one should stand
in front of or in line with it.
Control pressure and surface contact between
wheel and workpiece. Too much pressure causes
over-bending of wires and heat build-up causing
premature wire breaking, rapid dulling and reduced
brush life. Instead of more pressure, try a wire wheel
with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire
size, decreased wire length or different brush type
(knot type vs. crimped wire type).
Hold tool at 5⁰ to 15⁰ angle to ensure proper sanding
pressure and control. Too great an angle will result
in too much pressure and could cause excessive
wear to the disc and workpiece. Too small an angle
will reduce control.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing
forward to produce the desired finish.
Cross Sanding - When finishing a surface that
has been prepared by a coarse disc or wheel, sand
at right angles to the strokes made by the coarser
disc. Finishing marks left from previous sanding are
easily seen and removed for a uniform finish. Failure
to cross sand when changing from a coarse disc to
a finishing disc may result in deep scratches and
circular marks.
