1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected

supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

English

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and

are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before connecting to power source and/

or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

3

English

f) 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 run the power

tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged

accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of

stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated

by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be

capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation.

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing

loss.

h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.

Anyone entering the work area must wear personal

protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a

broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond

immediate area of operation.

i) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator

an electric shock.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ALL OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or

Abrasive, Cutting-Off Operations

a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush, polisher or cut-off tool. Read all safety

warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious

injury.

b) Do not use accessories which are not specifically

designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.

Just because the accessory can be attached to your power

tool, it does not assure safe operation.

c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.

Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break

and fly apart.

d) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory

must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or

controlled.

e) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the

grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by

flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the

locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not

match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of

balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

4

English

t) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the

work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may

lead to loss of control.

u) Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment.

If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or

flaws.

v) Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.

w) Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by the operating action of this tool may cause

permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to

provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily

time of use.

x) Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Causes and Operator Prevention

of Kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating

wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or

snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which

in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the

direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the

binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the

workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch

point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel

to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or

away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s

movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also

break under these conditions.

j) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you

lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or

arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has

come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab

the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.

Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag

your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive

accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution

or shock.

p) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using

inappropriate accessories can result in injury.

q) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The

side handle should always be used to maintain control of the

tool at all times.

r) When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel,

or a new or replacement wire brush installed, hold the

tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute.

If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in

less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will

be detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the

wheel. This includes the operator.

s) Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not

recommended and may be hazardous. Use of power

boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds

greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.

5

English

c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount

of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard

helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments,

accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite

clothing.

d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.

For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,

side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct

size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel

flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel

breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from

grinding wheel flanges.

f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the

higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for

Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive

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 or wheel breakage.

b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is

moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel

the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power

tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your

body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.

Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum

control over kickback or torque reaction during start up.

The operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if

proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool

will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool

in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of

snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners,

sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating

accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed

saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of

control.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Grinding and

Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and the specific guard designed for the

selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not

designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) The grinding surface of center depressed wheels must

be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An

improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of

the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

English

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Wire

Brushing Operations

a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even

during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires

by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles

can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,

do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter

due to work and centrifugal forces.

c) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a

full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 MUST be worn

by the operator and others that are within 50' (15.2 m) of

the use of this product.

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from

the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback

may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate

the cause of wheel binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the

cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool

is restarted in the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize

the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces

tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed

under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of

the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into

existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can

cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Sanding

Operations

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.

Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting

sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause

snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Polishing

Operations

a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet

or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or

trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning

attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the

workpiece.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG

or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge

number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is

16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the

total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the

minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to

use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in

doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,

the heavier the cord.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate

for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection

that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders

must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

WARNING: When not in use, place grinder on a stable

surface where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a

tripping or falling hazard. The grinder may stand upright on the

battery pack but may be easily knocked over. Serious personal injury

may result.

WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory may loosen

during coast-down of the tool when shut off. If grinding wheel or

accessory loosens, it may dismount from the machine and may cause

serious personal injury.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use extra care

when working into a corner or edge because a sudden, sharp

movement of the tool may be experienced when the wheel or other

accessory contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.

EDGE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS (FIG. 11)

CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting may break

or kick back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used. In all

edge grinding/cutting operations, the open side of the guard must be

positioned away from the operator. Edge grinding/cutting with a

Type27 wheel must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less

than 1/2" (13mm) in depth when the wheel is new. Reduce the depth

of cutting/notching equal to the reduction of the wheel radius as it

wears down. Refer to pages 10 and 11 for more information. Edge

grinding/cutting with a Type 1 wheel requires usage of a Type 1 guard.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed

before touching the tool to the work

surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work

surface, allowing the tool to operate at

high speed. Grinding rate is greatest

when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Position yourself so that the open-

underside of the wheel is facing away

from you.

4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is

established in the workpiece, do not

change the angle of the cut. Changing

3. While depressing the spindle lock button, thread the locking

flange (H) on spindle. If the wheel you are installing is more than

1/8" (3.17mm) thick, place the threaded locking flange on the

spindle so that the raised section (pilot) fits into the center of the

wheel. If the wheel you are installing is 1/8" (3.17mm) thick or

less, place the threaded locking flange on the spindle so that the

raised section (pilot) is not against the wheel.

4. While depressing the spindle lock button, tighten the locking

flange with a wrench.

5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button and loosen

the threaded locking flange with a wrench.

NOTE: If the wheel spins after the threaded locking flange is

tightened, check the orientation of the threaded locking flange. If a

thin wheel is installed with the pilot on the locking flange against the

wheel, it will spin because the height of the pilot prevents the locking

flange from holding the wheel.

USING SANDING BACKING PADS

(FIG. 14)

Choose the proper grit sanding discs for your application. Sanding

discs are available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material

removal rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower material

removal and a smoother finish.

Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal. Move to

a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for optimal finish.

Coarse 16–30 grit

Medium 36–80 grit

Fine Finishing 100–120 grit

Very Fine Finishing 150–180 grit

the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel

breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed to withstand

side pressures caused by bending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.

Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface

grinding applications if the wheel label has forbidden such use

because these wheels are not designed for side pressures

encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and serious

personal injury may result.

SURFACE FINISHING WITH SANDING FLAP DISCS (FIG. 12)

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the

work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to

operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool

operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5° to 10° angle between

the tool and work surface.

4. Continuously move the tool in a

forward and back motion to avoid

creating gouges in the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow

the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

MOUNTING SANDING BACKING PADS (FIG. 1, 13)

NOTE: Use of a guard with sanding discs that use backing pads,

often called fiber 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: Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding wheel,

cutting wheel, sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire wheel applications

after sanding applications are complete.

Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint

1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to

the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest

danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains

lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following

precautions when sanding any paint:

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area

where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is

completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering

the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the

wearer has difficulty breathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint

dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not

offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper

N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work

area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers

should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking.

Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work

area where dust would settle on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the

amount of dust generated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with

plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint

dust outside the work area.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work

surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work

surface, allowing the tool to operate

at high speed. Sanding rate is

greatest when the tool operates at

high speed.

3. Maintain a 5° to 15° angle between

the tool and work surface. The

san ding disc should contact

approximately 1" (25.4mm) of work

surface.

4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and

swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work

surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion

causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow

the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

MOUNTING AND REMOVING HUBBED WHEELS (FIG. 15)

Hubbed wheels install directly on the 5/8"-11 threaded spindle.

Thread of accessory must match thread of spindle.

1. Remove backing flange by pulling

away from tool.

2. Thread the wheel on the spindle (E) by

hand.

3. Depress the spindle lock button and

use a wrench to tighten the hub of the

wheel.

4. Reverse the above procedure to

remove the wheel.

NOTICE: Failure to properly seat the

wheel before turning the tool on may result

in damage to the tool or the wheel.

1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.

2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the hub of the

wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.

3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.

NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat the

wheel hub before turning the tool on.

USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS

(FIG. 16, 17)

Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and

paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.

NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing

paint as when sanding paint (refer to Precautions To Take When

Sanding Paint).

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the

work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to

operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the

tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5° to 10° angle between the tool and work surface

for wire cup brushes.

4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the work

surface with wire wheels.

5˚-10˚

FIG. 16 FIG. 17

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly

cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter

bags should be changed frequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of

along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should

be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through

regular trash pick-up procedures.

During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept

away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should

be washed thoroughly before being used again.

Mounting and Using Wire Brushes

and Wire Wheels

Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the grinder spindle

without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels provided

with a 5/8"-11 threaded hub. A Type 27 guard is required when using

wire brushes and wheels.

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.

MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn

tool off before making any adjustments or removing/installing

attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause

injury.
