18. EXTENSION
CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition.
When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

20. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
21. CHECK
DAMAGED
PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a

HANDLE (FIG. 2)

guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise
indicated
elsewhere
in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

ADDITIONAL
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR GRINDERS
1. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.
3. Use only grinding wheels having a maximum operating speed at
least high as "No Load RPM" marked on the tool's nameplate.
4. Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory.
The accessory should also be inspected whenever you think the
tool may have been dropped.
5. When starting the tool (with a new or replacement wheel installed)
hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute.
If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less
than one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes the operator.
6. In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel.
7. ALWAYS USE GUARDS with depressed center wheels or flaring
cup grinding wheels.
8. Clean your tool out periodically.
9. CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding
these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and
minimize skin contact.

FIG. 2

OPERATION
SANDING WITH ABRASIVE DISCS (FIG. 3)
TO INSTALL ABRASIVE

DISCS:

Be sure that the tool is turned off and unplugged. Push the hub of the
Disc Nut through the center of the Sanding Disc, as far as it will go, and
also through the Backing Disc. Put the assembled discs on the tool
spindle and engage the Disc Nut into the Disc Nut Hub. Thread the
assembly clockwise, completely down on the spindle. Engage the lock
pin to lock the spindle in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCH OPERATION

To start the grinder push the Switch Lock-Off Button forward and squeeze
the trigger switch. To turn the tool off, release the switch.
To lock the switch on for continuous operation, depress the trigger switch
and hold while you push in the Lock-On button at the end of the handle
shown in Figure 1. Hold the Lock-On button in as you release the trigger
switch. To turn the tool off from a locked on position, squeeze and release
the trigger switch once.
DO NOT STORE THE TOOL WITH THE SWITCH LOCKED ON... To do

When using an abrasive disc, hold the tool so that an angle of 10° to
15° exists between the disc and the work, as shown in Figure 4. If only
the outer edge of the sanding disc is used a rough cut surface will
result. If the sanding disc is pressed flat against the work the sanding
action will be irregular and bumpy, and the tool will be difficult to
control.

as shown.

When using a Depressed Center Wheel, hold the tool so that an angle
of approximately 30 ° exists between the wheel and the work.
-

Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is
a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing
particles from metal grinding often accumulate on interior surfaces and
could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning
the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only.
LUBRICATION
Sears tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use.
Tools should be relubricated regularly every sixty days to six months,
depending on usage. (Tools used constantly on production or heavyduty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent
lubrication.) This lubrication should only be attempted by trained power
tool repairpresons such as those at Sears Service Centers or in other
qualified service organizations.
