SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Before beginning work, provide for sparks
and debris that will fly off the work surface.
General Instructions for Use
Grinder General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Power Switch is in
the off‑position, then plug in the tool.
2. Adjust the Spark Arrestor and the Work
Rest frequently so as to compensate
for wear of the wheel.
3. Keep the distance between the Spark Arrestor/Work
Rest and the Wheel as small as possible and in
any case not greater than 1/16" (0.0625"). Adjust
the Work Rest so that the angle between the Work
Rest and the accessory is always greater than 85°.
WARNING! Replace the worn wheel when
these gaps are no longer able to be maintained.
Also replace damaged or deeply grooved wheels.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Always
use the Wheel Guard, Work Rest, Eye Shield and
Spark Arrestor as required for the accessory(ies).
4. Turn on the tool.
5. Allow the tool to come up to full speed
before touching the Grinding Wheel.
6. Apply the workpiece to the Wheel, allowing
the tool to operate at full speed. If the tool
bogs down, use lighter pressure.
7. To create a smoother surface, keep
the workpiece moving over the Wheel.
CAUTION! The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
8. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean and store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Belt Sander General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Power Switch is in
the off‑position, then plug in the tool.
2. Make sure nothing is contacting the Sanding
Belt, then turn on the Power Switch.
3. Use two hands and hold workpiece securely
against the Work Stop at all times. Press the
workpiece against the Belt to start sanding.
Keep the workpiece moving for a better finish.
4. Occasionally check the Sanding Belt for
tears, wear, or fraying. Replace used or
worn sanding belts when necessary.
5. After use, turn off the tool and disconnect
from the power supply. Clean and store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
