OPERATION 

WARNING: 

• 

It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause
dangerous wheel breakage. 

• 

ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding. 

• 

NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
work. 

• 

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kickback. 

• 

NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control
leading to personal injury. 

CAUTION: 

• 

Make the depth of a single cut up to 5 mm. Adjust
pressure on the tool so that the tool does not slow
down during the operation. 

• 

After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
until the wheel has come to a complete stop
before putting the tool down. 

• 

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. 

Grinding and sanding operation

007221 

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing 
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and 
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. 
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an 
angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface. 
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not 
work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the 
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been 
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A 
and B direction. 

Operation with diamond wheel 
(optional accessory) 

CAUTION: 

• 

Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure.  Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut.  Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding
of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of the
motor may occur. 

• 

Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
into the cut moving the tool forward over the
workpiece surface.    The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is started in the
workpiece. 

• 

A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular
to the material being cut.

Operation with wire cup brush 
(optional accessory) 

1

007242 

CAUTION: 

• 

Check operation of brush by running tool with no
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line
with brush.

• 

Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out
of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires. 

Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it 
upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove 
any accessories on spindle. Thread wire cup brush onto 
spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using 
brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes 
over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.
