 WARNING:
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER
AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate
tool in a well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust
collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with

5
the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may
promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.

INSTALLING OR REMOVING AN ABRASIVE DISC:
WARNING: Alwaysbesurethatthetoolisswitchedoffandunpluggedbeforeadjusting,
addingaccessories,orcheckingafunctiononthetool.
1.Mounttherubberbackingpadontothespindle.

3.Firmlydepressthespindlelocksothatthespindlecannotrotate,thenusethelocknutwrenchand
securelytightenclockwise.
4.Toremovethedisc,followtheinstallationprocedureinreverse.
GRINDING AND SANDING OPERATION:
WARNING: Neverforcethetool;theweightofthetoolappliesadequatepressure.
Forcingandexcessivepressurecouldcausedangerouswheelbreakage.
ALWAYSreplacethewheelifthetoolisdroppedwhilegrinding.
NEVERbangorhitthegrindingwheelordiscontothework.
Avoidbouncingandsnaggingthewheel,especiallywhenworkingoncorners,sharpedges,
etc.Thiscancaselossofcontrolandkickback.
NEVERusethetoolwithwoodcarvingbladesorothersawblades.Itisonlydesignedfor
grinding,sanding,orwirebrushing.
WARNING: Afteroperation,alwaysswitchoffthetoolandwaituntilthewheel
comestoacompletestopbeforeputtingthetooldown.
ALWAYSselectandusegrindingwheelsthatarerecommendedforthematerialtobe

toefcientoperationbeginsbycontrollingthepressureandsurfacecontactbetween
grindingwheelandtheworkpiece.
Flatsurfacesareusuallybestgroundbykeepingtheedgeofthewheelatanangleof5
to15degrees.Maintainingtheproperangleof5to15degreesbytiltingthegrinderand
continuouslymovingthegrinderbackandforthorupanddownovertheworkarea.Keep
thegrindermovingtoavoidremovingaexcessiveamountofmaterialfromonearea.
Usejustenoughpressuretokeepthetoolfromchatteringorbouncing;normallytheweight
ofthetoolaloneisadequateformostgrindingjobs.Wherethereisachancethatthe

OPERATION WITH WIRE BRUSHES:
WARNING: Innormalwirebrushingoperations,thematerialbeingremovedand
brushbristleswillyoff,goinggreatdistanceswithextremeforce.Thepotentialforserious
injuryexists.Toprotectagainstthishazard,theoperatorandothersintheworkarea
mustwearprotectiveclothingandsafetygoggles.Wearingafullfacemaskoversafety
glasseswithsideshieldsishighlysuggested.
WARNING: Alwaysbesurethatthetoolisswitchedoffandunpluggedbefore
adjusting,addingaccessories,orcheckingafunctiononthetool.
Donotuseabrushthatisdamagedorisoutofbalance.Useofadamagedbrushincreases
thepotentialforinjuryfromcontactwithbrokenbrushwires.
Wirebrushesdesignedforgrinderuseareavailableinavarietyofshapes,sizes,and
wiretypes.Unlikegrindingwheelswhichareheldinplaceinnerandangewashers,wire

arerequired.Theatbrushstylesmustalsobeofadiameterandthicknesswhich
allowstheirusewiththeguardinplace.
Toinstallthewirebrush,unplugthetoolandplaceitupsidedownallowingeasyaccessto
