ATTACHING WHEELS WITH DEPRESSED CENTERS

WARNING Always check the tool warning label for the recommend- ed speed rating on accessories. Never run a wheel or brush over the rated speed. Accessories exceeding the recommended speed may fly apart and cause serious personal injury.

Hubbed wheels do not require mounting flanges.

• Check to make sure that the guard is fit- ted properly. Put the inner flange on the spindle.

• Put the grinding wheel on the spindle and the inner flange.

When working with thin grinding wheels, fit the threaded outer flange with the

raised area facing toward the wheel.

When working with thick grinding

 

 

wheels, fit the threaded outer

 

 

flange with the raised area facing

 

 

away from the wheel.

 

Push in the spindle lock button.

 

 

Turn the outer flange until it locks

the enclosed wrench into the holes

 

 

of the outer flange to tighten the

 

 

outer flange properly.

 

ATTACHING WIRE BRUSHES

Wire cup brushes, not included, can be screwed directly on the spindle. No flanges are necessary.

EDGE GRINDING

WARNING Do not use edge grinding wheels for cut-off work, deep grinding or subject them to any side pressure as this may lead to breakage and possible personal injury. These wheels should be used for shallow cutting and notching (less than 1/2" in depth). Keep the open side of the guard away from the operator at all times.

Edge grinding should only be done with wheels specifically designed for this purpose.

REMOVING GUARD FOR SANDING OR USING FLAT WIRE BRUSHES

Set the Angle Grinder on a flat surface with the spindle facing up.

Remove the inner and outer flanges, unscrew spring washer and remove the guard.

Store these parts carefully.

Replace the guard after the job is finished.

ATTACHING SANDING DISC

To remove the guard, see instructions given in the “Removing Guard for Sanding or Using Flat Wire Brushes” Section above.

Set the inner flange and outer flange on the spindle.

Push in the spindle lock button. Turn the spindle until it locks into place.

Once the spindle is locked, tighten the sanding disc by hand.

OPERATING THE ANGLE GRINDER

Always unplug the tool before attempting to change the guard or accessories.

For best tool control, material removal and minimal loading, keep the angle between the disc and the work surface at approxi- mately 30° when grinding and 10°-15° when sanding.
