Installing or removing flex wheel (optional

accessory) (Fig. 13)

WARNING:

• Always use supplied guard when flex wheel is on tool.

Wheel can shatter during use and guard helps to

reduce chances of personal injury.

Follow instructions for depressed center wheel but also

use plastic pad over wheel. See order of assembly on

accessories page in this manual.

Installing or removing abrasive disc (optional

accessory) (Fig. 14)

NOTE:

• Use sander accessories specified in this manual.

These must be purchased separately.

Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on the

rubber pad and screw the sanding lock nut onto the spin-

dle. To tighten the sanding lock nut, press the shaft lock

firmly so that the spindle cannot revolve, then use the

lock nut wrench and securely tighten clockwise.

To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in

reverse.

Installing or removing dust cover attachment

(optional accessory) (Fig. 15)

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the dust

cover attachment. Failure to do so causes damage to

the tool or a personal injury.

There are four pieces of dust cover attachment and each

is used in one of different positions.

Set the dust cover attachment so that the marking (A, B,

C or D) places as shown. Snap its pins in the vents.

Dust cover attachment can be removed by hand.

NOTE:

• Clean out the dust cover attachment when it is clogged

with dust or foreign matters. Continuing operation with

a clogged dust cover attachment will damage the tool.

OPERATION

WARNING:

• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The

weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing

and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel

breakage.

• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grind-

ing.

• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.

• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially

when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can

cause loss of control and kickback.

• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other

saw blades. Such blades when used on a grinder fre-

quently kick and cause loss of control leading to per-

sonal injury.

CAUTION:

• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the

workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.

• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during

operation.

• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until

the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting

the tool down.

Grinding and sanding operation (Fig. 16)

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing

and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and

then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.

In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle

of about 15° to the workpiece surface.

During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work

the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the work-

piece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off

by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direc-

tion.

Operation with abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel

(optional accessory) (Fig. 17)

The direction for mounting the lock nut and the inner

flange varies by wheel thickness.
