WARNING
!

activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.

WARNING
maximum safe operating speed is not

grinder. Do not exceed the recommended
wheel diameter.
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in
order to use the grinder most efficiently.
Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond,
hardness, grit size and structure. The correct

DISC GRINDING WHEELS
type of wheel to use is determined by the job.
Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of
structural steel, heavy weld beads, steel
casting, stainless steel and other ferrous
metals.
GRINDING TIPS
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the
pressure and keeping the angle between
wheel and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the wheel
is flat, the tool is difficult to control. If the angle
is too steep, the pressure is concentrated on a
small area causing burning to the work
surface.

WARNING
!
Excessive or sudden pres-
sure on the wheel will slow
grinding action and put dangerous stresses on
the wheel.
Sanding Operations
SELECTING SANDING DISC
Sanding discs are made of extremely hard
and sharp aluminum oxide grits, phenol-resin
bonded to a sturdy fiber backing for fast
heavy-duty service and long life. The discs
vary as to size and spacing of the abrasive
grits. OPEN COAT (type H) — used for soft
materials and on paint or varnish. CLOSED
COAT (type K) —used for metal, hardwood,
stone, marble and other materials.
Sanding discs range in grit from 16 (very
coarse) to 180 (very fine). To obtain best
results, select sanding discs carefully. Many
jobs require the use of several grit sizes and
When grinding with a new wheel be certain to
grind while pulling tool backwards until wheel
becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels
have sharp corners which tend to “bite” or cut
into workpiece when pushing forward.
at times both “open coat and closed coat”
discs are required to get the job done faster.
See chart for application examples.

SANDING TIPS
to 15° angle while sanding so that only about
1" of the surface around the edge of the disc
contacts the work.
WARNING
!
If the disc (accessory) is held
flat or the back edge of the
disc comes in contact with the work, a violent
thrust to the side may result.
If sander is tilted too much, sanding action will
be too great and a rough cut surface or
gouging and snagging will result.
Guide the Disc Sander with crosswise strokes.
Be careful not to hold the sander in one spot
too long. Do not use a circular motion, as this
makes swirl marks. Test before use on scrap
stock.
Do not force or apply pressure when sanding.
Use only the weight of the tool for pressure.
Excess pressure actually slows the tool down.
If faster stock removal is desired, change to a
coarser grit disc.
Remove gummy paint from metal with an
“open coat” disc. Sand until sparks start to
appear, then stop and change to a “closed
coat” disc to remove any remaining paint.
SANDING WOOD
When sanding wood the direction of the disc
motion at the contact point should parallel the
grain as much as possible. The rapid cut of
discs and the swirl type scratch pattern they
occasionally create generally prohibit their use
for producing the final finish.
Scratches and circular marks are usually the
result of using too coarse a grit. When
changing to a finer grit, move across the sanding lines that were made by a previous
coarser disc.
SANDING METAL
When sanding automobiles or appliances,
wipe the metal clean with a non-flammable
solvent or commercial cleaner to remove all
wax and grease. By doing this first, the
sanding discs will sand better and last longer.
For heavy duty work, use a coarse grit disc
first. Follow-up with a medium grit to remove
scratches. To produce smooth finish, use fine
grit disc.

Wire brushes are intended to “clean” structural
steel, castings, sheet metal, stone and
concrete. They are used to remove rust, scale
and paint.

contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires
will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action; and if this is continued, the life of the
brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
that as much of the brush face as possible is
in full contact with the work. Applying the side
