Spindle Lock Button (Fig. K)
The spindle lock button
3
is provided to prevent the
spindle from rotating when installing or removing wheels.
Operate the spindle lock only when the tool is turned off,
when the battery has been removed, and has come to a
completestop.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, do
not engage the spindle lock while the tool is operating.
Damage to the tool will result and attached accessory
may spin off possibly resulting ininjury.
To engage the lock, depress the spindle lock button

Surface Grinding, Sanding and Wire
Brushing (Fig. L)

CAUTION: Always use the correct guard per the
instructions in thismanual.
To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the worksurface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate
is greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.

3. Maintain an appropriate angle between the tool
and work surface. Refer to the chart according to
particularfunction.
Function Angle
Grinding 20˚-30˚
Sanding with Flap Disc 5˚-10˚
Sanding with Backing Pad 5˚-15˚
Wire Brushing 5˚-10˚
4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and
the worksurface.
- If grinding, sanding with flap discs or wire brushing
move the tool continuously in a forward and
back motion to avoid creating gouges in the
worksurface.
- If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool
constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and
swirling of worksurface.
NOTE: Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without
moving will damage the workpiece.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying itdown.

CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an
edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may
beexperienced.
Precautions To Take When Working on
a Painted Workpiece
1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead
poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
recommend the following precautions when sanding
any paint:
Personal Safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being
done until all clean up iscompleted.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working
with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.
See your local hardware dealer for the proper NIOSH-
approvedmask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle onthem.
Environmental Safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
Cleaning and Disposal
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changedfrequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures.
