Note: When using a wire cup brush, mount the washer on the shaft. It will make it easier to remove
the wire cup brush.
Wire wheel brush operation (optional accessory)
Attention
Verify the operation of the wire wheel brush by running the tool without load, making sure
that no one is in front of or in line with the wire wheel brush.
Do not use a wire wheel brush that is damaged or unbalanced. Using a damaged wire
wheel brush could increase the possibility of injury from contact with broken wires.
Use the guard with wire wheel brushes, making sure the diameter of the wheel fits within
the guard. The wheel can break during use and the guard helps reduce the chances of
personal injury.
• Unplug the tool and turn it upside down to allow easy access to the shaft. Remove
all accessories from the shaft. Screw the wire wheel brush onto the axle and
tighten with the wrenches.
•
When using a wire wheel brush, avoid applying too much pressure, which causes
the wires to bend and cause premature breakage.
Overload
Overloading will cause damage to your tool's motor. This can happen if it is subjected to
heavy use for long periods of time. In no case try to exert too much pressure on your
angle sander to speed up your work.
Abrasive discs work most efficiently when light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop
in speed. If your tool gets too hot, run it without load for 2-3 minutes until it has cooled
down to normal operating temperature.
Job tips
• His tool is useful both for cutting metals; for example, to remove screw heads, as
well as to clean / prepare surfaces; for example, before and after welding
operations.
•
Different types of disc / cutter will allow the sander to meet various needs.
Grinding wheels / cutting wheels are typically available for mild steel, stainless
steel, stone, and brick. Diamond impregnated discs are available for very hard
materials.
•
If the grinder is used on soft metals such as aluminum, the disc may bind and will
need to be replaced.
•
At all times, let the sander do the work, do not force it or apply excessive pressure
to the discs.
•
If a slot is cut, make sure the cutter stays aligned with the slot, twisting the cutter
may cause the blade to break. If cutting a thin sheet, just allow the cutter to
protrude from the material, excessive penetration can increase the possibility of
causing damage.
