to maintain control of the tool at start up, during use, and until the wheel stops rotating. Make sure the

WARNING
:
wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is
greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the angle of
the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before
setting it down.
mAINTENANCE
CLEANINg
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary
maintenance procedure. Dust and grit from metal grinding often accumulate on interior surfaces
and could create an electrical shock hazard if not cleaned out.
• Always handle accessories with care when mounting or removing.
• The best storage place for accessories is one that is cool and dry away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
LUbRICATION

®
be lubricated regularly every year depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and
tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should only be
performed by a qualified power tool repair person.
