NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27
wheels designed and specified for this purpose.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories
running over rated accessory speed may burst and cause injury. Every
unthreaded accessory must have a 7/8" arbor hole. If it does not, it
may have been designed for a circular saw and should not be used.
Use only the accessories shown in the Accessories Chart of this
manual. Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel

interruption in power supply to the tool,
such as the activation of a ground fault
interrupter, throwing of a circuit breaker,
accidental unplugging, or power failure. If the slider switch is locked on
when the power is connected, the tool will start unexpectedly.

the spindle from rotating when installing or
removing wheels. Operate the spindle lock only
when the tool is turned off, unplugged from the
power supply, and has come to a complete stop.
Do not engage the spindle lock button while the
tool is operating because damage to the tool will
result. To engage the lock, depress the spindle
lock button and rotate the spindle until you are unable to rotate the
