often called fibre resin discs, is not required. Since a guard is
not required for these accessories, the guard may or may not fit
correctly if used.
WARNING: Failure to properly seat the flange/ clamp
nut/ wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool
or wheel).
WARNING: Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding
wheel, cutting wheel, sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire wheel
applications after sanding applications are complete.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, wear
work gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They
can become sharp.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,
wheel or brush must not touch guard when mounted or
while in use. Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory,
causing wires to fragment from accessory wheel or cup.

Prior to Operation
• Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not use
excessively worn discs or wheels.
• Be sure the threaded locking flange is mounted correctly.
Follow the instructions given in the Grinding and Cutting
Accessory Chart.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of the
arrows on the accessory and the tool.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and
on
run the power tool at maximum no‑load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
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 battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
