Prior to Operation
• Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel.
Do not use excessively worn discs or wheels.
• Be sure the inner and outer flange are mounted
correctly. Follow the instructions given in the
Grinding and Cutting Accessory Chart
.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the
direction of the arrows on the accessory and
the tool.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush
for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage
or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool
at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Before
reconnecting the tool, depress and
release the trigger switch to ensure that
the tool is off.
WARNING:
•
Ensure all materials to be ground or
cut are secured in place.
•
Secure and support the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold and
support the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to clamp and
support the workpiece securely to
prevent movement of the workpiece
and loss of control. Movement of
the workpiece or loss of control may
create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
•
Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•
Always wear regular working gloves
while operating this tool.
•
The gear becomes very hot during
use.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the
tool. Do not exert side pressure on the
disc.
•
Avoid overloading. Should the tool
become hot, let it run a few minutes
under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories
before they have cooled. The discs
become very hot during use.
•
Never work with the grinding cup
without a suitable protection guard in
place.
•
Do not use the power tool with a cut-
off stand.
