Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You
•
may seriously damage the pad.
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
•
operation.
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
•
until the disc has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear
handle and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on
and then apply the abrasive disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about
15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result
in poor performance and premature wear to abrasive
disc.

Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.10
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.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
