Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on the
rubber pad 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.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
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
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the
workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear handle
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded
off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B
direction. (Fig. 10)
Operation with wire cup brush (optional
accessory)
CAUTION:
• Check operation of brush by running tool with no load,
insuring that no one is in front of or in line with brush.
• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out of
balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires. (Fig. 11)
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Mount wire cup brush onto spindle and tighten with
supplied wrench. When using brush, avoid applying too
much pressure which causes over bending of wires,
leading to premature breakage.

Operation with abrasive cut-off/diamond
wheel (optional accessory)
WARNING:
• When using an abrasive cut-off/diamond wheel, be
• NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
• Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do

during use and guard helps to reduce chances of
personal injury. (Fig. 12)
sure to use only the special wheel guard designed for
use with cut-off wheels. (In some European countries,
when using a diamond wheel, the ordinary guard can
be used. Follow the regulations in your country.)
not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback, wheel breakage and
overheating of the motor may occur.
