To tighten the 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.

---

What should you never do when using the tool?

• 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.
• 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 the tool with wood cutting blades and other saw blades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
• ALWAYS replace the wheel if the tool is dropped while grinding.

---

What should you never do when the tool is in contact with the workpiece?

Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause injury to the operator.

---

What should you always wear during operation?

Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during operation.

---

What should you always do after operation?

After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.

---

How should you hold the tool during grinding and sanding operations?

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on the rear handle and the other on the side handle.

---

How should you apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece?

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 degrees 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 workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B directions.

---

What should you check when using a wire cup brush?

Check the operation of the brush by running the tool with no load, ensuring that no one is in front of or in line with the brush. Do not use a brush that is damaged or out of balance. The use of a damaged brush could increase the potential for injury from contact with broken brush wires.

---

How do you operate the tool with a wire cup brush (optional accessory)?

Unplug the tool and place it upside down allowing easy access to the spindle. Remove any accessories on the spindle. Mount the wire cup brush onto the spindle and tighten with the supplied wrench. When using the brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.

---

What should you check when using a wire wheel brush?

Check the operation of the wire wheel brush by running the tool with no load, ensuring that no one is in front of or in line with the wire wheel brush. Do not use a wire wheel brush that is damaged, or which is out of balance. Use of damaged wire wheel brush could increase potential for injury from contact with broken wires.

---

What should you always use with wire wheel brushes?

ALWAYS use a guard with wire wheel brushes, assuring the diameter of the wheel fits inside the guard. The wheel can shatter during use and the guard helps to reduce the chances of personal injury.

---

How do you operate with a wire wheel brush (optional accessory)?

Unplug the tool and place it upside down allowing easy access to the spindle. Remove any accessories on the spindle. Thread wire wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.

When using an abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel, be sure to use only the special wheel guard designed for use with cut-off wheels. (In some European countries, when using a diamond wheel, the ordinary guard can be used. Follow the regulations in your country.)

---

What should you never do when using a cut-off wheel?

• NEVER use a cut-off wheel for side grinding.
• Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure.
• Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback, wheel breakage, and overheating of the motor may occur.
• Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up, or kickback if the power tool is started in the workpiece.
• During cutting operations, never change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break, causing serious personal injury.
• A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular to the material being cut.

---

What should you always be sure of before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance?

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

---

What should you never use to clean the tool?

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol, or the like. Discoloration, deformation, or cracks may result.

---

How do you maintain the tool?

The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly clean the tool’s air vents or whenever the vents start to become obstructed.

---

How do you replace carbon brushes?

When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes. Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones, and secure the brush holder caps.
