gloves, helmet and apron should be worn when
necessary. If in doubt, wear the protective equip-
ment.
2. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the

3. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels
and other accessories running over rated speed

cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
5. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure abrasive disc is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. When sanding metal surfaces, watch out for fly-
ing sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away
from you and other persons or flammable mate-
rials.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate
after the tool is switched off.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the disc.
Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on
over the rubber pad and screw the lock nut onto the spin-
dle.
To tighten the lock nut, hold the spindle with the wrench
so that it cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Operation (Fig. 5)
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the
abrasive disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about
15° to the workpiece surface. Apply slight pressure only.
Excessive pressure will result in poor performance and
premature wear to the abrasive disc.
