2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate workarea.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
usedagain.
Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig. P)
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels
for surface grinding applications because these wheels
are not designed for side pressures encountered
with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury
mayresult.
CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and
cutting may break or kick back if they bend or twist
while the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/
cutting operations, the open side of the guard must be
positioned away from the operator.
Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27 wheel must
be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less
than 1/2" (13mm) in depth when the wheel is new.
Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the
reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer
to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge
grinding/cutting with a Type 1/41 wheel requires
usage of a Type 1/41guard.
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. Grinding/cutting rate
is greatest 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.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
itdown.
