Models with the letter F are standard-equipped with a
super flange. Only 1/3 of efforts needed to undo lock nut,
compared with conventional type.
Installing or removing dust cover
attachment (Optional accessory)
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the dust cover
attachment. Failure to do so causes damage to the tool
or a personal injury.
There are three types of dust cover attachment and each
is used in one of different positions. (Fig. 12 - 14)
Place the dust cover attachment so that the side of the
dust cover attachment with the marking (A, B or C) faces
towards the tool head. Snap the pins of the dust cover
attachment in the vent. (Fig. 15)
Dust cover attachment can be removed by hand.
NOTE:
• Clean out the dust cover attachment when it is clogged
with dust or foreign matters. Continuing operation with
a clogged dust cover attachment will damage the tool.
OPERATION
WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.
CAUTION:
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded
off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B
direction. (Fig. 16)
Operation with abrasive cut-off/diamond
wheel (optional accessory) (Fig. 17)
The direction for mounting the lock nut and the inner
flange varies by wheel thickness.
