nOTE: Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without
moving will damage the work piece.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an
edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may
be experienced.
Precautions To Take When Working on
a Painted Workpiece
1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead
poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
recommend the following precautions when sanding
any paint:
Personal safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being
done until all clean up is completed.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
nOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working
with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.
See your local hardware dealer for the proper NIOSH-
approved mask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
Environmental safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and Disposal
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
used again.

Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig. M)
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels
for surface grinding applications because these wheels
are not designed for side pressures encountered
with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury
may result.
CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting
may break or kick back if they bend or twist while
the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/cutting
operations, the open side of the guard must be
positioned away from the operator.
NOTICE: Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 27 wheel
must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—
less than 13 mm in depth when the wheel is new.
Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the
reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer
to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge
grinding/cutting with a Type 41 wheel requires usage
of a Type 1 guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate
is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the
wheel is facing away from you.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in
the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut.
Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and
may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels
are not designed to withstand side pressures caused
by bending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
it down.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
