OPERATION

Instructions for Use (fi g. 3)
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs.
Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
WARNING:
• Ensure all materials to be ground or
cut are secured in place.
• Use clamps or a vice to hold
and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to
clamp and support the workpiece
securely to prevent the movement
of the workpiece and loss of control.
Movement of the workpiece or loss
of control may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in
a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
• Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
• Always wear regular working gloves
while operating this tool.
• The gear case becomes very hot
during use.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
tool. Do not exert side pressure on the
disc.
• Avoid overloading. Should the tool
become hot, let it run a few minutes
under no load condition.
• The best grinding results are achieved
when setting the machine at an angle
of 90°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In
this manner, the workpiece will not
become too hot, does not discolour
and no grooves are formed.
WARNING: Grasp tool firmly with both
hands to maintain control of the tool at
start up and during use and until the
wheel or accessory stops rotating. Make
sure the wheel has come to a complete
stop be fore laying the tool down.
Put the work in a vise or clamp it securely. Use a
face mask over the nose and mouth if the operation
raises dust. Treat the wheel with respect. Do not
jam the wheel into the work or use unnecessary
pressure. Grind only on the face of the wheel unless
you have a special wheel specifically make to permit
grinding on the side of the wheel.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the body,
with the other hand on the neck of the die grinder,
as shown in figure 3.
Install Grinding Wheels (fi g. 1, 2)
WARNING: Accessories must be rated
at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the tool. Accessories running
faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.

the capacity rating marked on the tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately controlled.
