Choose the Correct Fit
Use an approved 5-inch accessory with the correct mounting interface and speed rating. Match the guard type to the accessory and grinding or cutting task.
This is the slide-switch lock-on flathead model, not a paddle no-lock version. Check the switch operation, side handle and guard before installing the battery.
Installation & Care
Remove the battery before changing accessories, making adjustments or clearing debris. Inspect the tool and accessory before fitting the battery.
Inspect the wheel for cracks or other damage and verify guard positioning. Keep sparks away from combustible materials and wait for full wheel stop before setting down.

Important Product Questions
Are a battery and charger included?
No. This is the exact tool-only model. Choose a compatible M18 battery and charger separately; accessory contents are not a battery kit.
Does the brake replace a guard?
No. The brake is not a substitute for the correct guard, side handle, compatible accessory or required protective equipment.
What should I check before use?
Confirm accessory fit, speed rating and condition for the task. Follow the tool instructions, secure the work and use the required guards and protective equipment.
