Operating Instructions
Hold the tool with both hands ! WARNING while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Start the tool before applying to work and let the tool come to full speed before contacting the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.
SLIDE ON-OFF SWITCH WITH LOCK
The tool is switched “ON” by the switch button located at the side of the motor housing. The switch can be locked in the “ON” position, a convenience for long grinding operations.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON” without locking it, slide the switch button forward by applying
pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the button. When pressure is released the switch button will snap to “OFF” position (Fig. 8).
TO LOCK THE SWITCH “ON”, slide the switch button forward and press “IN” the FRONT portion.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press and release the REAR portion of the button. Switch is spring loaded and will snap back automatically.

Grinding Operations
SELECTING GRINDING WHEELS Before using a grinding wheel, be certain that its maximum
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
DISC GRINDING WHEELS
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in order to use the grinder most efficiently. Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit size and structure. The correct type of wheel to use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of structural steel,
heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel and other ferrous metals.
GRINDING TIPS
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the pressure and keeping the angle between wheel and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the wheel is flat, the tool is difficult to control. If the angle is too steep, the pressure is concentrated on a small area causing burning to the work surface.
