BACKING PAD
Before attaching a backing
pad be sure its maximum
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the tool.
Wheel guard may not be
used for most sanding
operations. Always reinstall wheel guard
when converting back to grinding operations.
TO INSTALL BACKING PAD AND
SANDING DISC
Disconnect tool from power source. Set the
tool on its top side (spindle up). Place the
rubber backing pad onto the spindle shaft.
Center the sanding disc on top of the backing
pad. Insert the lock nut through the disc and
thread onto the spindle as far as you can with
your fingers. Press in the spindle lock, then
tighten the backing pad securely with lock nut
wrench.
TO REMOVE BACKING PAD AND
SANDING DISC
Disconnect tool from power source. Using
the lock nut wrench unscrew the nut from the
spindle, while holding spindle lock in.
WIRE BRUSH ASSEMBLY
Before assembling wire brush to this tool,
disconnect from the power source. Wire
brushes are equipped with their own
threaded hub, simply thread on to spindle. Be
sure to seat against shoulder before turning
tool “ON”.
SIDE HANDLE
The side handle used to guide and balance
the tool can be threaded into the front housing
on either side, and on top of the tool,
depending on personal preference and
comfort. Use the side handle for safe control
and ease of operation.
Always use auxiliary
handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Operation of the grinder without the side
handle could cause loss of control of the
grinder, resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
