OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury..
WARNING:
• Ensure all materials to be ground or cut
are secured in place.
• Secure and support the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold and
support the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to clamp and
support the workpiece securely to
30
prevent movement of the workpiece
and loss of control. Movement of the
workpiece or loss of control may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
• Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
tool. Do not exert side pressure on
the disc.
• Avoid overloading. Should the tool
become hot, let it run a few minutes
under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories
before they have cooled. The discs
become very hot during use.
