Craftsman 900.116500 Instruction Manual page 5

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only
means your tool wilt operate on standard
60 Hz household power. Do not operate
AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts
AC/DC means that your tool wilt operate
on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This
information is printed on the nameplate.
Lower voltage will cause toss of power
and can result in over-heating. All
Craftsman tools are factory-tested; if this
toot does not operate, check the power
supply.
AUXILIARY HANDLE (FIG. 1)
An auxiliary handle is furnished with your
grinder and can be screwed into either
side of the grinder housing. This handle
SHOULD BE USED ATALL TIMES to
maintain complete control of the tool.
TIGHTEN SECURELY.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL
To start the tool, slide the ON/OFF switch
forward. For continuous operation, slide
the switch fully forward and press front
end down. To stop the tool, release the
ON/OFF switch. To stop the tool while
running in continuous mode, press the
rearward part of the switch.
NOTE: Do not switch the tool on or off
while under toad conditions. Allow the
grinder to run up to full speed before
touching the surface to be ground. Lift the
toot from the surface before turning the
tool off. _,CAUTION: Allow the tool to
stop before setting down.
OVERLOAD
Overloading wilt cause damage to the
motor of your angle grinder. This can
happen if your angle grinder is subjected
to heavy use for prolonged periods of
time. Do not in any circumstances,
attempt to exert too much pressure on
your angle grinder to speed up your work.
The abrasive accessories operate more
efficiently when light pressure is exerted,
thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your
angle grinder.
An'ACHING THE WHEEL GUARD (FIG. 2)

GRIND OR BRUSH WITHOUT GUARD
IN PLACE.

spindle (1) facing up.
