OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing wheel guard (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the wheel
guard.
When installing a depressed center wheel or an
abrasive cut-off wheel, always use a wheel guard.
Loosen the lever on the wheel guard. Mount the
wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel guard
band aligned with the notch on the bearing box. Then
rotate the wheel guard 180 degrees clockwise.
Tighten the lever to fasten the wheel guard. If the
lever is too tight or too loose to fasten the wheel
guard, loosen or tighten the screw to adjust the
tightening of the wheel guard band.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the side grip.
Always install the side grip on the tool securely before
operation. The side grip can be installed in any of
three positions on the sides of the tool, whichever is
convenient and keeps the guard properly positioned.
Always hold the tool's switch handle and the side grip
firmly with both hands during operation.
Shaft lock (Fig. 3)
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when
installing or removing accessories.
CAUTION:
Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is
moving. The tool may be damaged.
Installing or removing depressed center
wheel (Fig. 4 & 5)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel
on over the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto
the spindle.
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 wheel, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.

slowly when they are turned on. This soft start feature
assures smoother operation and less operator
fatigue.
Switch handle mounting positions (Fig. 7)
The switch handle can be rotated to either 90° left or
right to fit your work needs. First, unplug the tool.
Press the lock button and rotate the switch handle
until the n mark on the lock button is aligned with that
on the motor housing. The switch handle will be
locked in that position.
Operation (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 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° – 30° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the tool 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.
