Operation with abrasive cut-off /
diamond wheel
Optional accessory
WARNING:
When using an abrasive cut-off /
diamond wheel, be sure to use only the special
wheel guard designed for use with cut-off wheels.
(In some European countries, when using a diamond
wheel, the ordinary guard can be used. Follow the
regulations in your country.)
WARNING:
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side
grinding.
WARNING:
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting
or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of the
motor may occur.
WARNING:
Do not start the cutting operation
in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool
forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
started in the workpiece.
WARNING:
During cutting operations, never
change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pres-
sure on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause
the wheel to crack and break, causing serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
A diamond wheel shall be oper-
ated perpendicular to the material being cut.

As for the installation, follow the instructions for
depressed center wheel.
The direction for mounting the lock nut and the
inner flange varies by wheel type and thickness.
Refer to the following figures.
When installing the abrasive cut-off wheel:

Operation with wire cup brush
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Check operation of brush by run-
ning tool with no load, insuring that no one is in
front of or in line with brush.
CAUTION:
Do not use brush that is damaged,
or which is out of balance. Use of damaged brush
could increase potential for injury from contact with
broken brush wires.
► Fig.14: 1. Wire cup brush
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle.
Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire cup
brush onto spindle and tighten with supplied wrench.
NOTICE:
Avoid applying too much pressure
which causes over bending of wires when using
brush. It may lead to premature breakage.
Operation with wire bevel brush
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Check operation of wire bevel
brush by running tool with no load, insuring that
no one is in front of or in line with the wire brush.
CAUTION:
Do not use wire brush that is dam-
aged, or which is out of balance. Use of damaged
wire bevel brush could increase potential for injury
from contact with broken wires.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS use guard with wire bevel
brushes, assuring diameter of wheel fits inside
guard. The wire bevel brush can shatter during use
and guard helps to reduce chances of personal injury.
► Fig.15: 1. Wire bevel brush
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle.
Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread the wire
bevel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.
NOTICE:
Avoid applying too much pressure
which causes over bending of wires when
using wire bevel brush. It may lead to premature
breakage.
