ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INFORMATION
• Do not use Type 1 flat abrasive or
diamond wheels without proper guard.
(Guard not included with unit.)
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA
Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory
protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay
on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can
generate and/or disperse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: Always use eye
protection. All users and bystanders
must wear eye protection that conforms
to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING: When not in use, place
grinder on a stable surface where it
will not move inadvertently, roll or
cause a tripping or falling hazard.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, use extra care when
working into a corner or edge because a
sudden, sharp movement of the tool may
be experienced when the wheel or other
accessory contacts a secondary surface
or a surface edge.

following symbols.

EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

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 Evolv
tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not
operate, check the power supply.

OPERATION

AUXILIARY HANDLE (FIG. 1)
An auxiliary handle (5) 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 (1). For continuous operation,
slide the switch (2) 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 discs operate more efficiently
when light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding
a drop in the speed of your angle grinder.
GRINDING AND WIRE
BRUSHING
ATTACHING THE WHEEL GUARD (FIG. 2)
Turn off and unplug the tool. NEVER GRIND
OR BRUSH WITHOUT GUARD IN PLACE.
• Place the angle grinder on a table, spindle
(9) facing up.
• Placing the spring washer (8) over the
spindle and locate it on the shoulder (10).
• Place the guard onto the tool as shown.
• Place the flange (11) over the spindle
with the protrusions facing towards the
guard.
Make sure that the screws are tight and
that the guard can be rotated.
