while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
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.
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
SELECTING GRINDING WHEELS
Before using a grinding
W RNING
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.
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.
