■
To attach the wheel guard DISCONNECT tool
from power source.
■
Position the guard on spindle neck, then secure
guard with the collar screw.
LOCK NUT AND BACKING FLANGE
■
Your tool is equipped with a threaded spindle for
mounting accessories. Always use the supplied

■
ALWAYS USE PROPER GUARD WITH
GRINDING WHEEL.
A guard protects operator
from broken wheel fragments. When using
grinding wheel attachments, the guard must
always be attached to the tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed from the side the tool is being
operated.
■
DO NOT USE DEPRESSED HUB GRINDING
WHEELS FOR CUT-OFF OPERATIONS.
■
DO NOT USE THIS TOOL WITH
“WOODCARVING” BLADE.
Such blades
create frequent kick-back and loss of control.
■
WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHILE USING A
SANDER/GRINDER.
Face shield or at least
safety goggles, dust mask, leather gloves and
shop apron capable of stopping small wheel or
workpiece fragments.
■
POSITION THE CORD CLEAR OF THE
SPINNING GRINDING WHEEL OR ANY
OTHER SANDING ACCESSORY.
Do not wrap
the cord around your arm or wrist. If you lose
control and have the cord wrapped around your
arm or wrist it may entrap you and cause injury.
■
AVOID BOUNCING AND SNAGGING THE
WHEEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WORKING
CORNERS, SHARP EDGES ETC.
This can
cause loss of control and kick-back.
■
THIS TOOL CAN BE CONVERTED TO A
SANDER.
When grinding is resumed the proper
guard and wheel flanges MUST be reinstalled
before proceeding with grinding. The guard must
always be attached to the tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed from the side the tool is being
operated. The grinding wheel guard cannot be
used for most sanding operations or for wire
brushing.
■
WHEN SANDING CHEMICALLY PRESSURE
TREATED LUMBER, PAINT THAT MAY BE
LEAD BASED, OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS
THAT MAY CONTAIN CARCINOGENS, USE
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS.
A suitable breathing
respirator must be worn by all personnel
entering the work area. Work area should be
sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not
protected should be kept out until work area is
thoroughly cleaned.
■
DIRECT THE DISCHARGE OF THE SPINNING
WIRE BRUSH AWAY FROM YOU.
Small
particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the “cleaning”
action with these brushes and may become
imbedded in your skin.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
WARNING
Wheel guard must be attached when using
disc grinding wheels. Always keep wheel
guard between you and your work while
grinding.
WARNING
Do not use water or other cooling fluid with
this tool for cutting.
WARNING
When using an abrasive cut-off wheel, be
sure to use only the special cut-off wheel
guard designed for use with cut-off wheels.
Never use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
WARNING
Before attaching a backing pad be sure its
maximum safe operating speed is not
exceeded by the nameplate speed of the
tool.
WARNING
Wheel guard may not be used for most
sanding operations. Always reinstall wheel
guard when converting back to grinding
operations.
■
The side handle used to guide and balance the
tool can be threaded into the front housing on
either side of the tool, depending on personal
preference and comfort. Use the side handle for
safe control and ease of operation.
DISC GRINDING WHEEL ASSEMBLY (Fig.2)
■
Disconnect tool from power source. Be sure that
wheel guard is in place for grinding. Thread
BACKING FLANGE onto spindle, then place
GRINDING WHEEL on the spindle. Thread on
the lock nut and tighten nut using the supplied
lock nut spanner, while holding the spindle lock
in.
■
TO REMOVE: Reverse procedure.
MASONRY CUTTING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
■
For cutting masonry materials like brick, tile,
stone, etc., it is best to use a dry diamond
cutting wheel. Use only lock nut and flange with
equal diameters.
■
Disconnect tool from power source before
attaching cutting wheel. With cut off wheel guard
in place, assemble flange, cutting wheel and
lock nut.
(Fig.3)
■
When cutting, make only small passes through
workpiece at a time. Be aware that “Kickback”
can occur at any time. Keep both hands on tool
for maximum control.
SANDING ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL BACKING PAD AND SANDING
DISC
■
Disconnect tool from power source. Set the tool
on its top side (spindle up). Place the rubber
backing pad onto the spindle shaft. Center the
WHEEL GUARD INSTALLATION
may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur.
Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut.
The wheel
may bind, walk up pr kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces
tend to dag under thire own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and neae the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “Pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
■
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting
Sanding paper.
Large sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
iaceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
■
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush.
The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for
wrie brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
■
Lead from lead-based paints.
■
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
■
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
