Care And Maintenance - Kobalt KMC 124B-03 Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
11. Surface Preparation (optional)
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, read all safety warnings
and all instructions in the use, care, and protection
of wheels.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation. If the
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Check the surface prep wheels (not included)
before application. Discard wheels that have been
dropped, bumped, subjected to extreme changes in
temperature, or come into contact with solvents or
wetness.
a. Before beginning a period of work, test the tool
by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to the workpiece.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped in place.
c. Hold the tool securely with both hands.
d. Start the tool.
NOTICE: If the battery is inserted when the tool switch is in the "ON" position, the tool will not
run. Turn the tool off, then turn it on to begin work.
e. Allow the accessory to reach full speed before beginning work.
f. For a uniform finish, hold tool at an angle of approximatley 10° to 15° to the workpiece
and apply constant pressure. Too great an angle causes concentrated pressure on small
areas, which may gouge or burn the work surface.
g. Control the pressure and surface contact between accessory and workpiece.
WARNING
• Do not apply excessive pressure. Too much pressure will cause the tool to overload and may
cause personal injury.
h. When finished, turn off the tool and make sure that it comes to a complete stop before
laying it down.

All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
Care of Wheels
The wheels should be stored in an organized way so that wheels can be removed without
disturbing or damaging other wheels.
Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove battery from the tool. For safe
and proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your saw; never use detergent or alcohol.
