When using a depressed center
wheel or flap disc, the wheel guard must be fitted
on the tool so that the closed side of the guard
always points toward the operator.

inner flange fits into the inner diameter of the depressed
center wheel / flap disc perfectly.
Mounting the inner flange
on the wrong side may result in the dangerous vibration.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle.
Make sure to fit the dented part of the inner flange onto
the straight part at the bottom of the spindle.
Fit the depressed center wheel / flap disc on the inner
flange and screw the lock nut onto the spindle.

OPERATION
WARNING:
It should never be necessary to
force the tool.
The weight of the tool applies ade-
quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure
could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
WARNING:
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING:
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc
or wheel onto work.
WARNING:
Avoid bouncing and snagging
the wheel, especially when working corners,
sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and
kickback.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool with wood cutting
blades and other saw blades.
Such blades when
used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never switch on the tool when it
is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an
injury to operator.
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles or a
face shield during operation.
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off
the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a
complete stop before putting the tool down.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with
one hand on housing and the other on the side
grip (handle).
Grinding and sanding operation
►
Fig.9
Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the
workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an
angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into
the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both
forward and backward direction.
