OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Before
reconnecting the tool, depress and

WARNING:
•
Ensure all materials to be ground or
cut are secured in place.
•
Use clamps or a vice to hold
and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to
clamp and support the workpiece
securely to prevent the movement
of the workpiece and loss of control.
Movement of the workpiece or loss
of control may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
•
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more secure than by hand.
•
Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•
The gear case becomes very hot
during use.
•
Always wear regular working gloves
while operating this tool.

•
Avoid overloading. Should the tool
become hot, let it run a few minutes
under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories
before they have cooled. The discs
become very hot during use.
•
Do not use separate reducing
bushings or adapters to adapt large
hole abrasive wheels.

Never use the tool without the guard
in place.

The tool is not designed to be used
