Installing wire wheel brush
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Do not use 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.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS use guard with wire
wheel brushes, assuring diameter of wheel fits
inside guard. Wheel can shatter during use and
guard helps to reduce chances of personal injury.
► 1. Wire wheel brush
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it
upside down allowing easy access to spindle.
Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire wheel
brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.

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.
WARNING:
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING:
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc
or wheel onto work.
WARNING:
Avoid bouncing and snagging the
wheel, especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback.
WARNING:
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 personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never switch on the tool when it is in con-
tact with the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles or a
face shield during operation.
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off
the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a
complete stop before putting the tool down.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one
hand on housing and the other on the side grip (handle).
Grinding and sanding operation
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
1
angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into
the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both
forward and backward direction.

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.
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.

on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel
to crack and break, causing serious personal injury.
