4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the work-
piece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle
will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.
Edge grinding wheels are not designed to withstand side pres-
sures caused by bending.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
WARNING:
SURFACE FINISHING WITH SANDING FLAP DISCS
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between
the tool and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a
forward and back motion to avoid
creating gouges in the work
surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow
the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface
grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for
side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.

Mounting and Using Wire Brushes
and Wire Wheels
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder
spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or
wheels provided with a M10 threaded hub. A Type 27 guard is
required when using wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes
and wheels. They can become sharp.
CAUTION: Wheel or brush must not touch guard when mounted
or while in use. Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory,
causing wires to fragment from accessory wheel or cup.
MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off
to ensure that the tool is off.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of the
wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to properly seat the wheel hub before turning
the tool on may result in damage to tool or wheel.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and
paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when
the tool operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the
tool and work surface for wire cup
brushes.
4. Maintain contact between the edge of
the wheel and the work surface with
wire wheels.
