SANDING ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLy

BACKING PAD
Before attaching a backing
pad be sure its maximum
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the tool.
Wheel guard may not be
used for most sanding
operations. Always reinstall wheel guard
when converting back to grinding operations.
TO INSTALL BACKING PAD AND
SANDING DISC
Disconnect tool from power source.
Attach hand guard (Fig. 1). Set the tool on its
top side (spindle up). Place the rubber
backing pad onto the spindle shaft. Center
the sanding disc on top of the backing pad.
Insert the lock nut through the disc and
thread onto the spindle as far as you can with
your fingers. Press in the spindle lock, then
tighten the backing pad securely with lock nut
wrench (Fig. 5).
TO REMOVE: Reverse procedure.

WIRE BRUSH ASSEMBLy

Before assembling wire brush to this tool,
disconnect from the power source. Attach
hand guard (Fig. 1). Wire brushes are
equipped with their own threaded hub, simply
thread on to spindle. Be sure to seat against
shoulder before turning tool "ON".
TO REMOVE: Reverse procedure.
Hold the tool with both hands
while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch "ON" and "OFF" while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.
SLIDE ON-OFF SWITCH WITH LOCK
The tool is switched "ON" by the switch
button located at the side of the motor
housing. The switch can be locked in the
"ON" position, a convenience for long
grinding operations.
Before assembling wire wheel to this tool,
disconnect from the power source. Attach type
27 guard (Fig. 2). Wire wheels are equipped
with their own threaded hub, simply thread on
to spindle. Be sure to seat against shoulder
before turning tool "ON".
TO REMOVE: Reverse procedure.
