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:
comes to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
ALWAYS select and use grinding wheels that are recommended for the material to be ground. Ensure that the
maximum operating speed of any accessory selected for use is not exceeded by the RPM of this machine.
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on the motor housing and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool
on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. The key to efficient 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 grinding wheel may get snagged by the
workpiece, such as loose bolts or jagged edges, causing loss of tool control, use lighter pressure.
OPERATION WITH WIRE BRUSHES
WArNING:
and brush bristles will fly 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:
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 flange washers, wire brushes screw onto the spindle; for this grinder,
wire brushes utilizing a 5/8"-11 thread are required. The flat 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 the spindle. Remove
any accessories on the spindle, then thread the wire brush onto the spindle and tighten securely with an
adjustable wrench while depressing the spindle lock.
Perform wire brush operations in a fashion similar grinding as described in the previous section. Tip the grinder
from 5 to 15 degrees and allow the weight of the tool to remove material as desired. Excessive pressure causes
premature wire breakage and bending over of the wires.
