Switches
CAUTION: 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.
SLIDER SWITCH (FIG. 6)
CAUTION: Before connecting the tool to a power supply, be sure the switch is in the off position by pressing the rear part of the switch and releasing. Ensure the switch is in the off position as described above after any interruption in power supply to the tool, such as the activation of a ground fault interrupter, throwing of a circuit breaker, accidental unplugging, or power failure. If the switch is locked on when the power is connected, the tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, slide the ON/OFF | FIG. 6 | |
