Hold the tool with both
hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can cause the
tool to twist.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.
SIDE ON-OFF SWITCH
WITH LOCK (FIG. 8)
The tool is switched “ON” by the side switch
located at the side of the motor housing. The
switch can be locked in the “ON” position, a
convenience for long grinding operations.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON” without locking it,
move the switch forward by applying
pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the
switch. When pressure is released the switch
will return to “OFF” position.
TO LOCK THE SWITCH “ON”, move the
switch forward and press the FRONT portion.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press
and release the REAR portion of the slider.
Switch is spring loaded and will snap back
automatically.
PADDLE SWITCH (FIG. 9)
The paddle switch has a lock-off feature to
help prevent accidental startups.
TO TURN TOOL “ON”, push lock-off switch
forward to unlock the paddle switch, then
squeeze paddle switch.
TO TURN TOOL “OFF”, release pressure on
paddle switch. The switch is spring loaded
and will return to the “OFF” position
automatically.
