protection while operating this power
tool.
• Hold your angle grinder with one
hand on the body and the other
hand firmly around the side handle as
shown in Figure 10.

• Always position the guard so that as
much of the exposed disc as possible is
pointing away from you.
• Be prepared for a stream of sparks
when the disc touches the metal.
• Exert light pressure on abrasive discs for
efficient operation. Pushing too hard will
cause a drop in speed and may result in
motor overload and damage.
• Use caution when working into corners
as contact with the intersecting surface
may cause the grinder to jump or twist.
• For best tool control, material removal,
and minimum overloading, maintain an
angle between the disc and work
surface (Fig. 11 & 12) of approximately
30° when grinding and 10°-15° when
sanding.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor
housing using compressed air is a
necessary maintenance procedure.
CAUTION: Dust and grit from metal
grinding often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create an electrical
shock hazard if not cleaned out.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool exterior. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment should be performed by
Sears Service Centers.
LUBRICATION
Sears Craftsman tools are properly
lubricated at the factory and are ready for
use. Tools 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 performed only by trained
power tool repair specialists such as those
at Sears Service Centers or in other
qualified service organizations.
ACCESSORIES
Use only Craftsman accessories with your
tool. These accessories are available at
extra cost from your local Sears store or
Sears Service Center.
CAUTION: Using accessories not sold
by Sears may be hazardous and lead to
injury or tool damage.
