Installing a Threaded Accessory General Operation TO PREVENT INJURY: Wear heavy-duty work gloves when handling wire wheels and brushes. These accessories are sharp and can cause injury. Do not exceed maximum rated speed of brush. Do not use a damaged brush. Replace damaged brushes immediately. Damaged or worn brushes will forcefully shoot wires into all objects not covered by the guard. 1. The accessory MUST be: • rated to at least 11,000 RPM • no larger than 4-1/2" in diameter • fitted with a threaded opening of 5/8" x 11 TPI. • undamaged • a sanding disc and backing pad, a sanding flap disc, a wire wheel or a wire cup brush (accessories not included). 2. Press in and hold the Spindle Lock Button to prevent the Spindle from turning. 3. Remove the Flange Nut and the Flange and keep in a safe place. 4. Thread disc accessory firmly onto the Spindle. Wrench tighten onto the Spindle. Workpiece and Work Area Set Up 1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury. 2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. 3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working. 4. There must not be hazardous objects, such as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby that will present a hazard while working. 5. You must use personal safety equipment including, but not limited to, ANSI-approved eye and hearing protection, as well as heavy-duty work gloves. 6. Before beginning work, provide for sparks and debris that will fly off the work surface. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Grip the tool firmly in both hands. 1. Make sure that the Slide Switch is not locked on, then plug in the tool. 2. Push the Slide Switch forward to start the tool. For continuous operation depress the front of the Switch to lock in the ON position. To turn tool OFF, depress the rear of the Switch and slide it backward. 3. Allow the tool to come up to full speed before touching the work material. For grinding or sanding operations, apply the wheel or disc to the work material at a 10°- 15° angle, allowing the tool to operate at full speed. If the tool bogs down, use lighter pressure. To create a smoother surface, keep the tool moving over the work surface. For abrasive cutting-off operations, apply the cut-off wheel straight into the work material using only the edge of the wheel, allowing the tool to operate at full speed. If the tool bogs down, use lighter pressure. WARNING: Do not grind with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. NOTICE: TO PREVENT TOOL DAMAGE: Only use the tool for 15-20 minutes at a time. Allow the tool to cool completely before next use. 4. When finished, pull the Slide Switch backward to stop the tool. 5. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, AFTER USE: Turn off the tool. WARNING! Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before setting it down. Unplug the tool. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children's reach. Page 10 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Model 62556
