•Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during operation.

•After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the disc has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear handle and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and then apply the abrasive disc to the workpiece.

In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.

Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result in poor performance and premature wear to abrasive disc.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the vents start to become obstructed.

When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
