Brake(ONLY FOR A9)
Once the power is shut off, the brake stops the wheel spinning
more quickly than a unit without this feature. This improves
efficiency and increases user protection. Stopping time will vary
depending upon the type of wheel used.

tightened securely.

WARNING: The side handle should always be used to
maintain control of the tool at all times.

To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate 90° for
cutting operations.
Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. A)
1. Remove the four corner screws attaching the gear case to
motor housing.
2. Without separating the gear case from motor housing,
rotate the gear case head to desired position.
nOTE: If the gear case and motor housing become separated
by more than 3.17 mm, the tool must be serviced and
re-assembled by an authorised D
to have the tool serviced may cause motor and bearing failure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor
housing. Tighten screws to 2.25 N m torque. Overtightening
could cause screws to strip.
Guards

CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire
brushes, and wire wheels. The tool may be used without
a guard only when sanding with conventional sanding
discs. Refer to Figure A to see guards provided with the
unit. Some applications may require purchasing the
correct guard from your local dealer or authorized service
centre.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type
27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 6.35 mm
thick wheels are designed for surface grinding while thinner
Type 27 wheels need to be examined for the manufacturer's
label to see if they can be used for surface grinding or only
edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1 guard must be used for any
wheel where surface grinding is forbidden. Cutting can also be
performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
