CAUTION
:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to
see
that the trigger switch actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Operation
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the work-
piece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or
disc
at
an angle of about
15'
to the work-
piece surface.
During the break-in period with
a
new
wheel, do not work the grinder in the
B
direction or
it
will cut into the workpiece.
Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be
worked in both A and
B
directions.
WARNING:
If should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate
pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
*Continued use of
a
worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal
injury. Depressed center wheel should not be used after
it
has been worn down to
11
5
mm
(4-1/2")
in diameter. Use of the wheel after this point
is
unsafe and
it
should
be removed from service and rendered unusable by intentional destruction.
