Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy access
to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire
wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.
When using wire wheel 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 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.)
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
•
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure.
•
Do 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.
Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
•
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter into
the cut moving the tool forward over the workpiece
surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if
the power tool is started in the workpiece.
During cutting operations, never change the angle
•
of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack
and break, causing serious personal injury.
A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular
•
to the material being cut.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the
wheel/disc on the inner flange and screw the lock nut
onto the spindle.
