To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that

and securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
NOTE:
Use sander accessories specified in this manual.
These must be purchased separately.
OPERATION
WARNING:
It 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.
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
work.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kickback.
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control
leading to personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with
the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
until the wheel has come to a complete stop
before putting the tool down.

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. 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 degrees to the workpiece 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 direction.
