grinder that requires mechanically
modifying the safety guard to
achieve proper positioning.

Improper assembly can create hazards.
4. Install only on 4" or 4-1/2" angle grinder
equipped with a constant pressure
switch (paddle, dead man or kill switch),
with a 7/8" spindle and a maximum
speed of 12,000 RPM or less.
5. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
heavy-duty work gloves during set up.
6. Do not carve wood containing foreign
objects. Remove all screws, nails,
staples and other obstructions from

Use Precautions
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the Carving Disc. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary handle,
or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the grinder,
they cannot be cut by the Carving Disc.
2. Never hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure,
Disc binding, or loss of control.
3. Do not reach underneath the workpiece
or remove wood shavings from the
cutting area while the Disc is rotating.
The safety guard cannot protect you from
the Carving Disc below the workpiece.
4. Operate a power tool equipped with
this Carving Disc with both hands only.
Using equipment with only one hand
can easily result in loss of control.
5. Do not operate a power tool equipped
with this Carving Disc near the face
or in a position above the head.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
7. Follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and safety warnings
applicable to your angle grinder.
8. This product is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with or near this item.
9. Use as intended only.
10.Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
11. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool equipped with this Carving
Disc. Do not use while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
12.Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
13.The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or
kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the
point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may
also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power
tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle,
if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the
area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
4. Use special care when working
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
5. This tool is designed to reduce
the risk of kickback. However,
improper assembly, installation, or
usage may still cause kickback.
