Surface Grinding, Sanding and Wire
Brushing (Fig. M)
CAUTION: Always use the correct guard per the
instructions in thismanual.
To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the worksurface.
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 highspeed.
3. Maintain an appropriate angle between the tool
and work surface. Refer to the chart according to
particularfunction.
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
worksurface.
‑ 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 worksurface.
‑ If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool
constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and
swirling of worksurface.
NOTE: Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without
moving will damage theworkpiece.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool
off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying itdown.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an
edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may
beexperienced.
