Instruction & User Manual
Edge Grinding (Cutting)
Wheels used for cutting and edge grinding
may break if they bend or twist while the
tool is being used to do cut-off work or deep
grinding.
WARNING!
m
Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
m
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the
tool is at high speed.
m
Position yourself so that the open-underside
of the wheel is facing away from you.
m
Once a cut has begun and a notch is
established in the workpiece, do not change
the angle of the cut. Changing the angle of
the cut will cause the wheel to bend and
may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding
wheels are not designed to withstand side
pressures caused by bending.
m
Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning it tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before laying it down.
Do not use edge grinding/ cutting wheels for
surface grinding applications. These wheels
are not designed for side pressures encoun-
tered with surface grinding - wheel breakage
and injury may result.
WARNING!
Surface Finishing with Sanding
Flap Discs
m
Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
m
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the
tool is at high speed.
m
Maintain a 5-10 degree angle between the
tool and work surface
m
Continuously move the tool in a forward
and back motion to avoid creating gouges in
the work surface.
m
Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning it tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before laying it down.
Proper guard must be reinstated for grinding
wheel, sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire
wheel applications after sanding applications
are complete.
WARNING!
Maintenance
Switch off the tool and disconnect the power
(remove battery/unplug) before cleaning and
maintenance. This helps avoid the risk of
electric shocks and accidental starting.
WARNING!
m
Wipe the tool with a dry or damp cloth.
Do not use a wet cloth.
Do not use
detergent that contains solvent or
corrosive, abrasive additives.
This risks
damaging the surfaces of the tool.
m
Clear the tool vents and the accessory
mount of dust and dirt after each use.
Do not clean ventilation holes by
inserting sharp objects in them, such
as screwdrivers and other similar
objects.
