During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the work-
piece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off
by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direc-
tion.
Operation with wire cup brush
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Check operation of brush by running tool with no
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with
brush.
• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out
of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires.
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Mount urethane washer then thread wire cup brush onto
spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using
brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes
over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.
NOTE:
• When using wire cup brush, mount urethane
washer to the spindle. It will make it easier to
remove wire cup brush.

become obstructed.
Replacing carbon brushes

When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is
exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically
shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes should be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes
clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes
should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical
carbon brushes.
