Multitool 362 Plus Fitting Instructions

Multitool: 1. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. A full-face visor is preferred. Any Belt/Disc Grinder can throw foreign objects into the eyes 2. AVOID CONTACT with Belt or Disc. The abrasive belt when running is an aggressive cutting tool. Extra care should be exercised when using coarse grit belts because of their rapid cutting action. 3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area. 4. BOLT THE BENCH GRINDER securely to the bench or supporting surface to stop it from tipping over or moving when in use. 5. DO NOT MOUNT the attachment protruding into walkways. 6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 7. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK to prevent dust inhalation when adequate ventilation or extraction is not available. 8. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING which may become entangled in the machine. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 9. ALWAYS HOLD the work piece firmly when grinding and apply a light and steady pressure against abrasive disc or belt. 10. ALWAYS GRIND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE of the grinding disc. Grinding on the upward side of the disc could cause the work piece to fly out of position, resulting in injury. 11. DO NOT USE belts that are damaged, torn or show signs of wear. 12. ALWAYS INSTALL BELTS with arrows in the back of the belts facing the correct direction. Belts and lap joints must be fitted facing the correct direction. See sketch below. The words “us”, “we” or “our” refers to P.A Products or their authorized agent.

Catch automatically holds slide in retracted position. When refitting the belt simply release the catch (fig 3) Always make sure the belt lap faces the correct direction. (diagram reverse side) DISC GRINDING Whenever possible remove the belt when using the disc facility. The disc grinding facility is a very useful and versatile part of the attachment. It is very useful for dressing small castings and components, patterns, models etc., often eliminating costly machining. Tool and cutter sharpening is a simple task and there is less chance of burning edges. With the addition of the table, lengths and angles are easy to adjust. A rubber cleaning stick should be used regularly to prevent the build up of wood resin. Three options are available in abrasive discs. 1. Self-Adhesive. 2. Fur backed – which must be used with an optional hook and loop backing pad. 3. Plain paper or cloth backed disc which must be attached with a contact adhesive. When changing a disc pad remove any remaining adhesive with a solvent eg acetone– Do not use household cleaners. CONTACT WHEEL GRINDING, POLISHING AND SANDING Using the front contact wheel avails the user of material removal many times faster than a conventional grinding wheel. The unique smooth cutting action is cooler, faster and safer than conventional grinding methods. A good example of one of the many uses is the smoothing of welds and casting blemishes prior to plating. Using the extremely fast and easy belt change, it is possible to go from a rough weld finish to a flat smooth polished finish suitable to chrome plate in only three belt changes. e.g. Remove rough weld with 40, 60 or 80 grit belt. Remove grinding marks – 240 grit belt. Change ground finish to smooth, brushed finish for plating – Scotchbrite super fine. Wood shaping and finishing can be done in a similar manner but belts should always be kept exclusively for wood, especially in the finer grades. A rubber belt cleaning stick helps prevent clogging on wood use. FREE STRAPPING Free strapping is a method of belt grinding, sanding or polishing where no backing is used behind the belt. It is especially suitable for round and contoured work and some sharpening operations. It is done on the underneath side of the belt opposite the platen. It is ideally suited to narrow belt widths as small as ½” (13mm). Belt grades of 180 to 400 are recommended because of the rapid cutting action of narrow belts.

optimum cutting speed matches the advances in abrasive belt technology making it possible to remove almost any material up to 5¼ times faster than the equivalent grit grinding wheel. The Multitool does it quieter, smoother and cooler too. Multitool brings to the manufacturer, engineer, carpenter, farmer, hobbyist and home handy person alike, a wide variety of surface finishes from a coarse textured finish thru to a polish. 362 Attachment 36”x 2” (915 x 50) belt, 7” (178) diameter disc, 3½ dia.
