OPERATION
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the
OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
GUARD ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 6 - 8.
Never use the tool for grinding without the guard in place
and properly adjusted.
Unplug the tool.
Using the wrench provided, remove clamp nut, grinding
wheel, and disc flange, if necessary.
Unlock the guard clamp lever.
Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown in figures
6 and 7.
Lock the guard clamp lever.
Reassemble disc flange, grinding wheel, and clamp nut
(if removed) and tighten securely.
WARNING:
Never place the guard so that it is on front of the grinder
as shown in figure 8. This could result in serious injury
because sparks and loose particles thrown from the
grinding wheel would be directed toward the operator.
Always place the guard in the correct location as shown
in figures 6 and 7.
DANGER:
Never use your grinder with the guard removed. It has
been designed for use only with the guard installed.
Attempting to use grinder with guard removed will result
in loose particles being thrown against the operator
resulting in serious personal injury.
GRINDING
See Figure 9.
Always carefully select and use grinding wheels that are
recommended for the material to be ground. Make sure
that the minimum operating speed of any accessory wheel
selected is 6,800 r/min. or more. The grinding wheel provided
with the grinder is suitable for grinding welds, preparing
surfaces to be welded, grinding structural steel, and grind-
ing stainless steel.
To operate the grinder:
Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench.
