be positioned away from the operator. For deeper cutting with a Type 1 cut-off wheel, use a closed, Type 1 guard. See the chart on page 8 for more information. Type 1 guards are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.

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

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 because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.

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

4.Continuously move the tool in a forward and backward motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.

USING SANDING BACKING PADS

Choose the proper grit sandpaper for your application. Sandpaper is 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.
