OPERATION
NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated in
the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the tool without
a guard in place and properly adjusted.
OPERATING THE GRINDER
See Figure 12, page 15.
Always carefully select and use grinding wheels that are
recommended for the material to be ground. Make sure
that the minimum operating speed of any accessory wheel
selected is 9,200/min. or more. The grinding wheel provided
with the grinder is suitable for grinding welds, preparing
surfaces to be welded, grinding structural steel, and grind-
ing stainless steel.
To operate the grinder:
„ Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench.
DANGER:
Never use the grinder with the guard removed.
It has been designed for use only with the guard
installed. Attempting to use grinder with guard
removed will result in loose particles being thrown
against the operator resulting in serious personal
injury.
„ Hold the grinder in front and away from you with both
hands, keeping the grinding wheel clear of the workpiece.
„ Turn on the grinder and let the motor and grinding wheel
build up to full speed.
„ Lower the grinder gradually until the grinding wheel con-
tacts the workpiece.
„ Keep the grinder tilted at an angle from 5 to 15 degrees
from the work surface.
WARNING:
To prevent loss of control and possible serious
personal injury, always operate the grinder with
both hands, keeping one hand on the side handle.
NOTICE:
If the grinder is held in one spot too long, it will
gouge and cut grooves in the workpiece. If the
grinder is held at too sharp an angle, it will also
gouge the workpiece because of concentration of
pressure on a small area.
NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the grinder's speed and
put a strain on the motor. Normally the weight of the tool
alone is adequate for most grinding jobs. Use light pressure
when grinding jagged edges or loose bolts where there is the
potential for the grinder to snag on the metal edge.
„ Use just enough pressure to keep the grinder from chat-
tering or bouncing. When too much pressure is applied
and not relieved, an overload condition may result, caus-
ing the tool to automatically shut off.
„ Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before turning
off the grinder.
CUTTING WITH THE TOOL
See Figure 13 - 14, page 15.
It is important to understand the correct method for cutting
with this tool. See referenced figures to learn the correct way
to handle the tool during a cutting operation.
WARNING:
To maintain proper control, always operate the tool
with both hands, keeping one hand on the side
handle. Loss of control could cause an accident
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Since wheel is exposed on underside of work, keep
hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part
of your body coming in contact with moving wheel
may result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not grind with the side of the cutting wheel.
Abrasive cutting wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
To make the best possible cut:
„ Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamp-
ing point to eliminate any vibration of the work. Cut
the workpiece using the peripheral edge of the cutting
wheel. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp
the workpiece in a vise if possible and cut close to the
vise. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material
between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to
eliminate vibration and material tearing.
DANGER:
Never use the tool with the guard removed. It has
been designed for use only with the guard and
cutting guard installed. Attempting to use tool with
guard removed will result in loose particles being
thrown against the operator resulting in serious
personal injury.
„ Remove the battery pack.
