OPERATION
OPERATION
1.
Before using the Flexible Shaft
Grinder, determine a location in the
work area to mount the Holder and the
Hanger. Drive (2) wood screws
through (2) Electrical Rings and
through the Hanger to the mounting
location selected. Attach the Hanger
to the Motor Housing with (2) screws.
2. The Flex Shaft and Flex Shaft Housing
need to be lubricated with a light lithi-
um lubricant or machine oil. Use only
as small amount. Too much lubricant
can become messy and possibly get
on your workpiece. Do not use auto-
motive grease as it is too viscous.
3. A setscrew holds the Flex Shaft to the
Motor Shaft. When the Flex Shaft is
secure to the Motor Shaft, thread the
end of the Flex Shaft Housing onto the
base of the Motor Housing. Be sure
that the Flexible Shaft assembly is not
bent more than 90 degrees or kinked.
4. The Grinder Head fits onto the end of
the Flex Shaft. It is secure when you
hear a snap. To remove the Grinder
Head from the Flex Shaft, firmly grasp
the Grinder Head and Flex Shaft with
two hands and pull apart.
5. Loosen the Drill Chuck with the Chuck
Key. Insert the desired bit and tighten
the Drill Chuck with the Chuck Key.
6. Attach the Foot Control as follows.
Insert the Plug into the Female Plug.
Insert the Power Plug into the electri-
cal outlet. The depth of the Foot
Control can be set by using the
setscrew on the Foot Control, this will
allow the operator to adjust for desired
maximum speed. Tightening and low-
ering the screw will allow for greater
speeds. Loosening and raising the
screw will limit the speed allowed by
the Foot Control.
7. Make sure all safety instructions have
been followed before turning the
machine “ON”.
8. Once the tool is on, select the desired
speed by using the Foot Control.
Operating this tool can propel
objects into the air, causing immedi-
ate eye damage. To protect yourself,
always wear American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating this equipment.
Under normal working conditions
and use, it is normal for the Motor
Housing to become hot. However,
the hot surface may cause personal
injury if touched or present a possi-
ble danger of an extreme fire hazard
if near flammable material. If the
Flexible Shaft Grinder is used for a
prolonged period of time and the
motor housing becomes EXTREME-
LY HOT, stop using the machine and
let it cool down.
