MOUNTING THE SANDING PAD
See fi gure 8.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Attach the sanding pad to the spindle shaft. Disc
fl
ange and clamp nut are not necessary for this
sanding application.
3. Depress the spindle lock button on the right hand side
of the gear case.

GRINDING
See fi gure 9.
The key to ef
fi
cient operation is controlling the pressure
and surface contact between the grinding wheel and
workpiece. Flat surfaces are ground at an acute angle,
usually 15 to 20 degrees with the workpiece. Allow the
wheel to reach full speed before starting to grind. Too
great an angle causes concentration of pressure on a
small area which may gouge or burn workpiece.
SANDING
See fi gure 10.
Choose sanding paper carefully for each application
for best operation and
fi
nish. The wheel guard can be
removed or kept as it is during sanding, but it is suggested
to keep the wheel guard on.
To have the best sanding result, it is recommended to
work with lower speed. Refer to the table for the proper
speed selection.
