MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only
means your tool will operate on standard
60 Hz household power. Do not operate
AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts
AC/DC means that your tool will operate
on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This
information is printed on the nameplate.
Lower voltage will cause loss of power
and can result in over-heating. All
Craftsman tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
OPERATION
AUXILIARY HANDLE (FIG. 1)
An auxiliary handle is furnished with your
grinder and can be screwed into either
side of the grinder housing. This handle
SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES to
maintain complete control of the tool.
TIGHTEN SECURELY.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL
To start the tool, slide the ON/OFF switch
forward. For continuous operation, slide
the switch fully forward and press front
end down. To stop the tool, release the
ON/OFF switch. To stop the tool while
running in continuous mode, press the
rearward part of the switch.
NOTE: Do not switch the tool on or off
while under load conditions. Allow the
grinder to run up to full speed before
touching the surface to be ground. Lift the
tool from the surface before turning the
tool off.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to
stop before setting down.
OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the
motor of your angle grinder. This can
happen if your angle grinder is subjected
to heavy use for prolonged periods of
time. Do not in any circumstances,
attempt to exert too much pressure on
your angle grinder to speed up your work.
The abrasive accessories operate more
efficiently when light pressure is exerted,
thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your
angle grinder.
