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
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Use the correct size collet cone for
the wheel point which you intend to use.
NOTICE:
Do not tighten the collet nut without
inserting a wheel point. Otherwise it can lead to
breakage of the collet cone.
Loosen the collet nut counterclockwise and insert the
wheel point into the collet nut. Use one wrench to hold
the spindle. With using another wrench, turn the collet
nut clockwise to tighten securely.

NOTE: If you cannot insert the wheel point into the
collet nut after loosening the collet nut, the collet cone
may obstruct the wheel point. In that case, remove
the collet nut and reposition the collet cone.
The wheel point should not be mounted more than 10
mm from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could
cause vibration or a broken shaft.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Apply light pressure on the tool.
Excessive pressure on the tool will only cause a poor
finish and overloading of the motor.
CAUTION:
The wheel point continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
► Fig.4
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.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Dressing wheel point
Optional accessory
When the wheel point becomes "loaded" with various
bits and particles, you should dress the wheel point with
the dressing stone.
