General Maintenance
1. Regularly check the tool and use a soft brush to remove
accumulated dust.
2. Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do
not use alcohol, petrol or other similar cleaning agents.
3. Do not make contact with the grinding wheels with any
damp cloth.
4. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
5. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes while cleaning.
6. Always make sure the eyeshields are transparent and not
blocking the view of the grinding wheel.
7. In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked,
grooved, rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true or
loaded with foreign material. Cracked wheels should be
replaced IMMEDIATELY. While any of the other conditions
can be remedied with a dressing tool (included), new
wheels sometimes require dressing to make them
round.

a safe rated speed at least as high as the “NO LOAD”
RPM marked on your grinder’s nameplate. Replacement
wheels must have a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) center hole, 6 in.
(150 mm) diameter and should be a maximum of 3/4 in.
(20 mm) wide. Test new wheels for cracks and maintain
the existing sequence of retaining hardware. Be sure the
tool is unplugged before attempting repairs.
9. If replacing the batteries, take out the old batteries
and replace with new AAA batteries. When replacing
the batteries, the battery guide should be thoroughly
cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar device, to
remove all sawdust and debris. Dispose off old batteries
properly. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix
alkaline, standard (carbon - zinc), or rechargeable (nickel
- cadmium) batteries. Batteries are to be inserted with
the correct polarity. Do not charge the battery which is
not a rechargeable battery.
WARNING:
Never use caustic agents to clean the
plastic parts of the tool.
