USING CUTTING WHEELS
: 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.
1.Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.
2.Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3.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.
4.Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
: Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is
a necessary maintenance procedure. Dust and grit from metal grinding often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not cleaned out.
: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
LUBRICATION
Porter Cable tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be lubricated regularly every year depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should be attempted only by trained power tool repairperson's such as those at Porter Cable service centers or in other qualified service personnel.
