"OFF" position when the rear of the slide switch is
depressed.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the "I (ON)"
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
switch lever to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (handle) (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the side grip is installed securely
before operation.
Screw the side grip securely on the position of the tool as
shown in the figure.
Installing or removing wheel guard
(Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• The wheel guard must be fitted on the tool so that the
closed side of the guard always points toward the
operator.
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard to such an angle that it can
protect the operator according to work. Be sure to tighten
the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
For tool with clamp lever type wheel guard (Fig. 5 & 6)
Loosen the lever on the wheel guard after loosening the
screw. Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the
wheel guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing
box. Then rotate the wheel guard around to the position
shown in the figure. Tighten the lever to fasten the wheel
guard. If the lever is too tight or too loose to fasten the
wheel guard, loosen or tighten the screw to adjust the
tightening of the wheel guard band.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
Installing or removing depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc (Fig. 7)
WARNING:
• Always use supplied guard when depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc is on tool. Wheel can shatter
during use and guard helps to reduce chances of
personal injury.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel/disc
on the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle.
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that
the spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise. (Fig. 8)
To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
WARNING:
• Only actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is not
moving.
Installing or removing diamond wheel
(optional accessory) (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the arrow on the tool should point in the
same direction as the arrow on the diamond wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the diamond
wheel on over the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto
the spindle. Notice that flat side of the lock nut should face
the diamond wheel in case the diamond wheel is used.
WARNING:
• Only actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is not
moving.
OPERATION
WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
• 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:
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
Operation with diamond wheel
(accessory)
WARNING:
• Forcing and exerting excessive pressure or allowing
the wheel to bend, pinch or twist in the cut can cause
overheating of the motor and dangerous kickback of
the tool.
CAUTION:
• After cutting operation, make sure that the diamond
wheel stops revolving completely. Then, place the tool.
It is dangerous to place the tool before turning off the
tool. If there are dust or dirt around the tool, the tool
may suck in them.
Be sure that the wheel does not contact the workpiece.
Turn the tool on and hold the tool firmly. Wait until the
wheel attains full speed. Now simply move the tool for-
ward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
