Failure to wear ANSI approved safety glasses while operating the grinder could cause serious personal eye injury.
Using the Grinder
Most operations performed with the Model H8124 will give the best results at the high speed setting. However, the low speed setting is ideal when working with plastics or other materials that melt easily.
Always test the bit and speed combination on a scrap piece of material similar to the workpiece. Trail and error is the best way to determine the ideal setup.
To use the grinder:
1.Make sure the battery is charged and properly inserted into the grinder.
2.Grasp the grinder with a secure grip.
3.Turn the grinder ON by moving the switch to LO or HI.
4.Ease the working end of the bit against the workpiece with a light but steady pressure.
5.To turn the grinder OFF, move the switch to the OFF position.
High Speed Uses
The high speed setting is best for gen- eral carving, cutting, routing, and grinding. The bit removes material more quickly at higher speed.
Low Speed Uses
The lower speed setting is best for grind- ing and cutting materials that have low melting points. Plastics, in particular, often melt from the heat of friction generated at higher speeds. The low speed is also best for polishing and buffing when using the felt accessories included.
Use the low speed setting to reduce friction when working with plastics or other materials with low melt- ing points. Some materials can liq- uefy from the heat of friction and be thrown into the operator, causing personal injury.
Daily Maintenance
These procedures should be done after each use:
•Wipe the motor housing and tool bits with a dry cloth, or blow off the dust and debris with compressed air.
•Check for damage to bits, cords, hous- ing, or other accessories.
