NOTE: To reduce unexpected tool
movement, do not switch the tool on or off
while under load conditions. Allow the grinder
to run up to full speed before touching the
work surface. Lift the tool from the surface
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before putting it down.

SPINDLE LOCK
WARNING: To prevent accidental
operation, turn off and unplug tool
before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result
in serious personal injury.
The spindle lock button (4) is provided to
prevent the spindle from rotating when
installing or removing wheels. Operate the
spindle lock only when the tool is turned off
and the wheel has come to a complete stop.
WARNING: 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 (4) shown in figure F and
rotate the spindle until you
are unable to
rotate the spindle further.

EDGE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS
CAUTION: Wheels used for cutting
and edge grinding may break or kick back
if they bend or twist while the tool is being
used to do cut-off work or deep grinding.

manufacturer’s label to see if they can be
used for surface grinding or only edge
grinding/cutting. Any wheel where surface
grinding is forbidden must not be used on
this grinder. In all edge grinding
operations, the open side of the guard

when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-
underside of the wheel is facing away
from you.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is
established in the workpiece, do not
change the angle of the cut. Changing the
angle will cause the wheel to bend and
may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding
wheels are not designed to withstand side
pressures caused by bending.
