Hold the tool with both hands
while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.

The tool is switched “ON” by the switch
button located at the side of the motor
housing. The switch can be locked in the
“ON” position, a convenience for long
grinding operations.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON” without locking it,
slide the switch button forward by applying
pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the
button. When pressure is released the switch
button will snap to “OFF” position (Fig. 8).
TO LOCK THE SWITCH “ON”, slide the
switch button forward and press “IN” the
FRONT portion.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press
and release the REAR portion of the button.
Switch is spring loaded and will snap back
automatically.

WARNING
 
Before using a grinding wheel,
be certain that its maximum
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not exceed
the recom mended wheel diameter.
 
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in
order to use the grinder most efficiently. Wheels
vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit
size and structure. The correct type of wheel to
use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding
wheels for fast grinding of structural steel,
heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel
and other ferrous metals.

Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the
pressure and keep ing the angle between wheel
and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the wheel is flat,
the tool is difficult to control. If the angle is too
steep, the pressure is concentrated on a small
area causing burning to the work surface.
