Put the work in a vise or clamp it securely. Use a face mask
over the nose and mouth if the operation raises dust. Treat
the wheel with respect. Do not jam the wheel into the work
or use unnecessary pressure. Grind only on the edge of the
wheel (Fig.E), unless you have a special wheel specifically
made to permit grinding on the face of thewheel.

Mounting an Accessory (Fig. A)

WARNING: Accessories must be rated at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and flyapart.

WARNING: Accessories must be within the capacity
rating marked on the tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequatelycontrolled.

WARNING: Do not use accessories with a mandrel
length exceeding 2.0" (50 mm). Ensure that the
exposed mandrel length is no more than 1.0" (25 mm)
after inserting accessory intocollet.

WARNING: Projectile hazard. Only use
accessories with shanks that match the installed
collet. Smaller shanks will not be secure and could
become loose duringoperation.

CAUTION: Never tighten the collet without first
installing an accessory in it. Tightening an empty
collet, even by hand, can damage thecollet.
This tool comes with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) collet

.
1. Hold the spindle
3
using the smaller spanner
5
provided.
2. Loosen the collet nut
4
by turning itcounterclockwise.
3. Insert the shank of the accessory into the collet
7
.
4. Securely tighten the collet using the larger spanner
6

provided.
To remove the accessory, proceed in reverseorder.
When starting the tool (with a new or replacement wheel
installed) hold the tool in a well protected area. If the wheel
has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than
one minute. Never start tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes theoperator.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. Sanding 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 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.
