u
the required position.
Fasten the clamping lock (12) to secure the guard to
u
the tool.
If required, tighten the screw (15) to increase the
u
clamping force.
Removing
Release the clamping lock (12).
u
Rotate the guard clockwise to align the lugs (13) with the
u
notches (14).

Hints for optimum use

Firmly hold the tool with one hand around the side handle
u
and the other hand around the main handle.
Surface grinding with grinding wheels
Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
u
to the work surface.
Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the
u
tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
Maintain a 20˚ to 30˚ angle between the tool and
u
work surface.
Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion
u
to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off.
u
Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
Edge grinding with grinding wheels
Wheels used for cutting and edge grinding may break or kick
back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used to do
cut-off work or deep grinding. To reduce the risk of serious
injury, limit the use of these wheels with a standard Type 27
guard to shallow cutting and notching (less than 13 mm in
depth). The open side of the guard must be positioned away
from the operator. For deeper cutting with a Type 1 cut-off
wheel, use a closed Type 1 guard.
Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
u
to the work surface.

(Original instructions)
Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the
u
tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
Position yourself so that the open-underside of the wheel
u
is facing away from you.
Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the
u
workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed
to withstand side pressures caused by bending.
Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
u
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
it down.
Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding
applications because these wheels are not designed for side
pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
Using wire cup brushes and wire wheels
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale
and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.
Note: The same precautions should be taken when wire
brushng paint as when sanding paint.
Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
u
to the work surface.
Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool
u
to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool and work
u
surface for wire cup brushes.
Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the
u
work surface with wire wheels.
Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion
u
to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the
tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving
the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling
marks on the work surface.
Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
u
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting
it down.
Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden
sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.
Precautions to take when wire brushing paint
Wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
u
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the
contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning
is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
u
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend
the following precautions when wire brushing any paint:
