WARNING
recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Only use accessories with Maximum Safe Operat-
ing Speed rated at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. This speed is
based on the strength of the accessory, allowing
for a reasonable measure of safety. It is not
meant to imply a best or most efficient operat-
ing speed. Do not exceed the Maximum Safe
Operating Speed.
To reduce the risk of injury, always clean man-
drels before inserting them into the collet and
securely tighten the collet nut and. Otherwise
the high-speed rotation of the tool could force
the accessory to fly out of the collet.
Everyone in the area must wear protective cloth-
ing and safety goggles or face shields. Damaged
accessories may fly apart with considerable
force, causing potential for serious injury.

Typical Applications
A large variety of accessories are available for ap-
plications such as grinding, sanding, and cutting.
Grinding/Sanding
Use sanding and grinding accessories that are:
• less than 2" / 55 mm in diameter
• correct accessory type and grit for the job
• rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool's
nameplate
Wheel Brushes
Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust,
scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire
brushes are available for many applications.
When applying brush to work, avoid using too much
pressure. This causes over-bending of wires and heat
build-up resulting in premature wire breakage, rapid
dulling and reduced brush life. Instead of using more
pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more aggressive
cutting action (increased wire size, decreased wire
length or different brush type, i.e. knot type instead
of crimped wire type).
Cutting
Always handle cutting wheels carefully to avoid
damage. Before installing any wheel, always in-
spect it for cracks. If wheel is cracked, discard it to
prevent others from using it. Cutting wheels should
be protected from:
• wetness and extreme humidity
• any type of solvent
• extreme changes in temperature
• dropping and bumping
If a cutting wheel encounters any of these situations,
discard the wheel immediately.
