WARNING :
Wire wheel brush bristles will bend during use and show
their direction of rotation. When reusing the wire wheel
brush, always mount it to rotate in the same direction
as in prior use. Failure to heed this warning can result in
bristle breaking and extreme vibration of the wire wheel
brush that could result in serious personal injury.
90˚ ROTATING HANDLE
See Figure 8.
The handle on the
angle grinder can rotate 90 ˚ to the left or
the right for ease of operation.
To adjust the 90˚ rotating handle:

Press and hold handle lock button.
 Rotate the handle to the desired position and release the
handle lock button.
NOTE: Make sure the handle lock button on the 90˚ rotating

 Move the angle grinder back and forth or up and down
over the work area.
 Keep the angle grinder moving so that an excessive
amount of material is not removed from one area.
 If the angle grinder is held in one spot too long, it will
gouge and cut grooves in the workpiece.
 If the angle grinder is held at too sharp an angle, it will
also gouge the workpiece because of concentration of
pressure on a small area.
 Use just enough pressure to keep the angle grinder from
chattering or bouncing. Heavy pressure will decrease its
speed and put a strain on the motor.
 Normally the weight of the tool alone is adequate for most
grinding jobs.
 Use light pressure when grinding jagged edges or loose
bolts where there is the potential for the angle grinder to
snag on the metal edge.
 Lift the angle grinder away from the workpiece before
turning the angle grinder off.
