ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing wheel point
Loosen the collet nut and insert the wheel point into the
collet nut. Use one wrench to hold the spindle and the
other one to tighten the collet nut securely. (Fig. 2)
The wheel point should not be mounted more than 8 mm
from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could cause
vibration or a broken shaft. (Fig. 3)
To remove the wheel point, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
CAUTION:
• Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel point
which you intend to use.
OPERATION
Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool in
the leftward direction slowly. (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive pressure on
the tool will only cause a poor finish and overloading of
the motor.

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
