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 FIG. 13 tool and work surface. The sanding disc should contact approximately one inch of work surface.

5˚–15˚

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 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: Wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can become sharp.

CAUTION: 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

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.

CAUTION: Failure to properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on may result in damage to tool or wheel.

USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS (FIG 14, 15)

Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.

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 FIG. 14

 

tool and work surface for wire cup

 

 

brushes.

 

4.

Maintain contact between the edge of

5˚–10˚

 

the wheel and the work surface with wire

 

wheels.

 

5.

Continuously move the tool in a forward and

FIG. 15

 

back motion to avoid creating gouges in the

 

 

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.

 

6.Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may be experienced.
