CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and
wheels. They can becomesharp.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,
wheel or brush must not touch guard when mounted
or while in use. Undetectable damage could occur to
the accessory, causing wires to fragment from accessory
wheel orcup.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels install directly on the threaded
spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or
wheels provided with a M14 threaded hub. These accessories
are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorised

Prior to Operation
• Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not use
excessively worn discs orwheels.
• Be sure the inner and outer flange are mounted correctly.
Follow the instructions given in the Grinding and Cutting
AccessoryChart.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of the
arrows on the accessory and thetool.
• 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 testtime.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicableregulations.
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 causeinjury.
WARNING:
• Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are secured
inplace.
• 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 prevent movement of the
workpiece and loss of control. Movement of the
workpiece or loss of control may create a hazard and
cause personalinjury.
• 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 thewheel.
• Always wear regular working gloves while operating
thistool.
• The gear becomes very hot duringuse.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Do not exert
side pressure on thedisc.
• Always install the guard and appropriate disc or
wheel. Do not use excessively worn disc orwheel.
• Be sure the inner and outer flange are
mountedcorrectly.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of
the arrows on the accessory and thetool.
• Avoid overloading. Should the tool become hot, let it
run a few minutes under no load condition to cool the
