OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
WARNING:
•
Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are secured
in place.
•
Secure and support the workpiece. Use clamps or a
vise to hold and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to clamp and support the
workpiece securely to prevent movement of the
workpiece and loss of control. Movement of the
workpiece or loss of control may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
•
Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•
Always wear regular working gloves while operating
this tool.
•
The gear becomes very hot during use.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Do not exert
side pressure on the disc.
•
Avoid overloading. Should the tool become hot, let it
run a few minutes under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories before they have
cooled. The discs become very hot during use.
•
Never work with the grinding cup without a suitable
protection guard in place.
•
Do not use the power tool with a cut‑off stand.
•
Never use blotters together with bonded
abrasive products.
•
Be aware, the wheel continues to rotate after the tool
is switched off.
