Operation - Wen 94475 Manual

WARNING: To prevent serious injury, make sure all the warnings and instructions have been read and
understood before operating this tool.
ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 6)
WARNING: DO NOT turn the angle grinder ON or OFF while the tool is under load/contacting the
workpiece; this will greatly decrease the life of the tool.
Push the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6 - 1) forward to turn ON the tool
and the tool will stay locked on. Press down on the outermost tip of
the switch and slide it back to turn OFF the tool.
Hold the tool with both hands since the torque from the motor can
cause the grinder to twist. Start the angle grinder before applying it
to the workpiece. Let the wheel come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the workpiece before turning the
machine off.
GRINDING & SANDING OPERATIONS
Your angle grinder is only designed for grinding and sanding operations. Use for any other purpose is not recom-
mended could result in serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection with side shields. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
1. Route the power cord to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to
possible damage. The power cord should reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement
while working.
2. Secure the workpiece before operation using vises or clamps to prevent wobble.
3. Hold the angle grinder with both hands in front and away from your body. Keep the grinding wheel clear of the
workpiece. Turn ON the angle grinder and let the grinding wheel build up to full speed.
4. Slowly lower the angle grinder onto the workpiece. Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the pressure and
keeping the angle between the wheel and the workpiece at 15° to 30°. If the angle is flat, the tool will be difficult to
control. If the angle is too steep, the pressure concentrated on a small area can can burn the surface of the work-
piece.
WARNING: Move the grinder at a steady and consistent pace. Excessive or sudden pressure on the
wheel will slow the grinding action and put dangerous stresses on the wheel.
5. Lift the angle grinder away from the workpiece, and then turn OFF the power. The tool features a lock-on start
switch which requires you to press down on the outermost tip of the switch to turn it off.
NOTE: New wheels have sharp corners which tend to "bite" or cut into the workpiece when pushing forward.
When a new wheel is installed, be sure to grind while pulling the tool backwards until the wheel becomes round-
ed on its edge.
