3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is
established in the workpiece, do not
change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend
and may cause wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface
before turning tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before setting it down.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor
housing using compressed air is a
necessary maintenance procedure.
Dust and grit from metal grinding often
accumulate on interior surfaces and could
create an electrical shock hazard if not
cleaned out.
• Always handle accessories with care
when mounting or removing.
• The best storage place for accessories is
one that is cool and dry away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean
the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

should be lubricated regularly every year
depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy
duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may
require more frequent lubrication.) This
lubrication should be attempted only by
trained power tool repairperson's such as
those at Porter Cable service centers or in
other qualified service personnel.
