accessories. See pages 7–8 for the correct accessories.

specified for this purpose.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the
tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated accessory speed
may burst and cause injury. Every unthreaded accessory must have a 22 mm (7/8")
arbor hole. If it does not, it may have been designed for a circular saw and should not
be used. Use only the accessories shown on pages 7–8. Accessory ratings must be
above listed minimum wheel speed as shown on tool nameplate.
Switches
WARNING: Hold the side handle and body of the tool firmly to maintain control of
the tool at start up and during use and until the wheel or accessory stops rotating.
Make sure the wheel has come to a complete stop before laying the tool down.
NOTE: To reduce unexpected tool movement, do not switch the tool on or off while
under load conditions. Allow the grinder to run up to full speed before touching the
work surface. Lift the tool from the surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop rotating before putting it down.
