COMPONENTS (FIG. A)
Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.

Intended Use

Your heavy-duty small angle grinder has been designed
for professional grinding, sanding, wire brush, and cut-off
applications at various work sites (i.e., construction sites).

DO nOT

use under wet conditions or in presence of

flammable liquids or gases.

DO nOT

let children come into contact with the tool.

Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use
this tool.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.

An accidental start-up can cause injury.

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

•

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing

dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING:

Use of this tool can generate and/

or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use.

Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

•

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

•

An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.

The

smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
