Install Grinding Wheels
1. Remove mounting nut by turning it
counterclockwise (when facing outer side of
accesssory). The spindle can be held stationary
by holding a wrench on the flats provided on the
exposed portion of the spindle.
2. Only tighten nut sufficiently to drive the wheel
without slippage.
3. When starting the tool (with a new or replacement
wheel installed) hold the tool in a well protected
area. If the wheel has an undetected crack or
flaw, it should burst in less than one minute.
Never start tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes the operator.
WARNING:
Grasp tool firmly with both hands
to maintain control of the tool at start up and
during use and until the wheel or accessory
stops rotating. Make sure the wheel has

Put the work in a vise or clamp it securely. Use a
face mask over the nose and mouth if the operation
raises dust. Treat the wheel with respect. do not jam
the wheel into the work or use unnecessary pressure.
Grind only on the face of the wheel (Fig. 2), unless
you have a special wheel specifically make to permit
grinding on the side of the wheel.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of
controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest
danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a
paint contains lead without a chemical analysis,
we recommend the following precautions when
sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter
the work area where the paint sanding is being
done until all clean up is completed.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all
persons entering the work area. The filter should
be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has
difficulty breathing.
NOTE:
Only those dust masks suitable for
working with lead paint dust and fumes should
be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer
this protection. See your local hardware dealer
for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should
be done in the work area to prevent ingesting
contaminated paint particles. Workers should
wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking
or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking
should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be
sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should
be changed frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and
disposed of along with any dust chips or other
removal debris. They should be placed in sealed
refuse receptacles and disposed of through
regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women
should be kept away from the immediate work
area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before
being used again.
MAINTENANCE
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
release the switch to ensure that the tool
is off.
