instructions in thismanual.
To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
to the worksurface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is
greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.
3. Maintain an appropriate angle between the tool and work
surface. Refer to the chart according to particularfunction.
Function Angle
Grinding 20˚‑30˚
Sanding with Flap Disc 5˚‑10˚
Sanding with Backing Pad 5˚‑15˚
Wire Brushing 5˚‑10˚
4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the
worksurface.
- If grinding, sanding with flap discs, or wire brushing,
move the tool continuously in a forward and back
motion to avoid creating gouges in the worksurface.
- If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool constantly
in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of
worksurface.
