Sanding Sheet (Fig. A, D)
nOTE: Use of a guard with sanding discs that use backing pads,
often called fiber resin discs, is not required. Since a guard is
not required for these accessories, the guard may or may not fit
correctly if used.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
2. Remove the backing flange
3. Place the rubber backing pad correctly onto the spindle
4. Place the sanding sheet on the rubber backing pad.

Prior to Operation
•
Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not use
excessively worn discs or wheels.
•
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
•
Be sure the inner and outer flange are mounted correctly.
Follow the instructions given in the grinding and Cutting
Accessory Chart.
•
Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of the
arrows on the accessory and the tool.

accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING:
•
Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are secured
in place.
•
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 prevent
the movement of the workpiece and loss of control.
.
Movement of the workpiece or loss of control may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
•
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
•
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.
•
Always wear regular working gloves while operating
this tool.
•
The gear case becomes very hot during use.
•
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.
•
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
•
Never use the tool without the guard in place.
•
The tool is not designed to be used with a
grinding cup.
•
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
•
Never use blotters together with bonded
abrasive products.
•
Be aware, the wheel continues to rotate after the tools
is switched off.
