Instruction & User Manual
m
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the power tool to operate
at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when
the power tool is at high speed.
m
Maintain a 20-30 degree angle between the
power tool and work surface.
m
Continuously move the power tool in a
forward and back motion to avoid creating
gouges in the work surface.
m
Remove the power tool from the work
surface before turning it off. Allow the wheel
to stop rotating before laying the power tool
down.
Edge Grinding (Cutting)
Wheels used for cutting and edge grinding
may break if they bend or twist while the
power tool is being used to do cut-off work
or deep grinding.
WARNING!
m
Position yourself so that the open-underside
of the wheel is facing away from you.
m
Allow the power tool to reach full speed
before touching the wheel to the work
surface.
m
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the power tool to operate
at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when
the power tool is at high speed.
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 power tool from the work
surface before turning it off. Allow the wheel
to stop rotating before laying the power tool
down.
Surface Finishing with Sanding
Flap Discs
m
Allow the power tool to reach full speed
before touching the disc on the work surface.
m
Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the
tool is at high speed.
m
Maintain a 5-10 degree angle between the
disc and work surface.
m
Continuously move the disc in a forward
and back motion to avoid creating gouges in
the work surface.
m
Remove the power tool from the work
surface before turning it off. Allow the disc
to stop rotating before laying the power tool
down.
If the guard has been removed to facilitate
sanding or wire brushing, it must be
reinstated after completion of the above
operation.
WARNING!
Maintenance
Switch off the power tool and disconnect the
power (remove battery/unplug) before clean-
ing 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
