CAUTION: Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator. CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during operation. CAUTION: After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down. CAUTION: ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing and the other on the side grip (handle). Grinding and sanding operation Usage example: operation with abrasive cut-off wheel Usage example: operation with diamond wheel 15° Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface. During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both forward and backward direction. Operation with abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel Optional accessory WARNING: Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of the motor may occur. WARNING: Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is started in the workpiece. WARNING: During cutting operations, never change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break, causing serious personal injury. WARNING: A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular to the material being cut. Operation with wire cup brush Optional accessory CAUTION: Check operation of brush by running tool with no load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with brush. NOTICE: Avoid applying too much pressure which causes over bending of wires when using the wire cup brush. It may lead to premature breakage. Usage example: operation with wire cup brush 14 ENGLISH
