4. Place the grinding wheel on the spindle.
Check the rated speed on the grinding
wheel. DO NOT use a wheel with a rated
speed lower than the speed shown on the
grinder nameplate.
5. Thread the outer flange on the spindle
with the flat side of the flange facing up,
making sure that the opening in the wheel is
positioned around the raised portion of the
outer flange (FIG. 6).
6. Press the spindle-lock button to prevent
movement of the spindle.

OPERATION
1. If you have just installed an accessory or are
beginning a period of work, test it by letting
it spin for one minute before applying it to
the workpiece. Out-of-balance or damaged
accessories can mar workpiece, damage the
tool, and cause stress that may cause accessory
failure.
2. Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to
hold your work, freeing both bands to control
the tool.
3. Hold tool securely with both hands.
4. start the tool.

beginning work.
6. Control pressure to surface contact between
accessory and workpiece. Too much pressure
slows speed.
7. When finished, turn off the tool and make
sure it comes to a complete stop before laying
it down.
• Use a clamp, vise or other practical means
to hold your work, freeing both hands to
control your tool. Firmly grasp the body of tool
and the side handle before starting and while
the tool is in operation.
• Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling
the pressure and keeping the angle between
the wheel and the workpiece at 10° to 15°
(FIG. 7). If the angle is too shallow the tool is
difficult to control. If the angle is too steep,
the pressure is concentrated on a small area,
causing burning to the work surface.
• Move the angle grinder back and forth with
moderate pressure to avoid discoloring the
workpiece, overheating the workpiece and
creating ridges.
• Never use a cut-off wheel to grind a
work piece.
• Always hold the tool properly so that sparks
and grinding dust fly away from the body.
• Start
accessory to workpiece and let the tool come
to full speed before contacting the workpiece.
Lift the tool from the workpiece before turning
the tool OFF.
