Fitting a Wire Cup Brush
Screw the wire cup brush directly onto the spindle without the
use of the spacer and threaded flange.
Prior to Operation
•
Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not use
excessively worn discs or wheels.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
•
Be sure the inner and outer flange are mounted correctly.
Follow the instructions given in the
grinding and Cutting
Accessory Chart
.
•
Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of the
arrows on the accessory and the tool.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit
off and disconnect machine from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before
adjusting or changing set-ups or when making
repairs.
Before reconnecting the tool, depress and
release the trigger switch to ensure that the tool is off. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
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.
• Always wear regular working gloves while operating
this tool.
• The gear case becomes very hot during use.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Do not exert
side pressure on the disc.
• 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.
