of 4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner
to reduce tracking of paint dust outside
the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1. All surfaces in the work area should be
vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for
the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum
filter bags should be changed frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered
up and disposed of along with any
dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse
receptacles and disposed of through
regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant
women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils
used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
MOUNTING AND USING WIRE
BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw
directly on the grinder spindle without the
use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or
wheels provided with a 5/8 inch-11 threaded
hub. A Type 27 guard is required when
using wire brushes and wheels. Wear work
gloves when handling wire brushes and
wheels. They can become sharp.
Wheel or brush must not touch guard when
mounted or while in use. Undetectable
damage could occur to the accessory,
causing wires to fragment from accessory
wheel or cup.
MOUNTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES
AND WIRE WHEELS
WARNING:
operation, turn off and unplug tool
before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a
wrench on the hub of the wire wheel or
brush to tighten the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above
procedure.
Failure to properly seat the wheel hub
before turning the tool on may result in
damage to tool or wheel.
USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND
WIRE WHEELS
Wire wheels and brushes can be used for
removing rust, scale and paint, and for
To prevent accidental
smoothing irregular surfaces.
NOTE
: The same precautions should be
taken when wire brushng paint as when
sanding paint.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high
speed. Material removal rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Figure N - Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle
between the tool and work surface for
wire cup brushes.
4. Maintain contact between the edge of
the wheel and the work surface with
wire wheels.
5. Continuously move the tool in a forward
and back motion to avoid creating
gouges in the work surface. Allowing
the tool to rest on the work surface
without moving, or moving the tool in
a circular motion causes burning and
swirling marks on the work surface.
6. Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop rotating before setting it down.
Use extra care when working over an
edge, as a sudden sharp movement of
grinder may be experienced.
N
MOUNTING AND USING CUTTING
(TYPE 1) WHEELS
Cutting wheels include diamond wheels
and abrasive discs. Abrasive cutting wheels
for metal and concrete use are available.
Diamond blades for concrete cutting can
also be used.
NOTE
: A closed, 2-sided Type 1 cutting
wheel guard is sold separately and is
re quired when using cutting wheels. Fail ure
to use proper flange and guard can re sult
in injury resulting from wheel breakage and
wheel contact.
MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD
