OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for cutting,
roughing and brushing metal and stone
materials without using water. For cutting
metal, a special protection guard for cutting
(accessory) must be used.
1. LOCK-OFF & LOCK-ON SWITCH
(See Fig. A)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. To switch on your tool, push the
safety switch lever (B) forward and depress
on/off switch (A) fully. Now your tool is switch
on. To switch off your tool, just release the On/
Off switch.
If you wish to use the tool continuously,
push the safety switch lever (B) forward and
depress on/off switch (A) fully, then push
the safety switch lever (B) forward again and
release the On/Off switch. Now your switch
has been locked on for continuously use.
12
To switch off your tool, simply depress On/
Off switch fully, the safety On/Off switch will
automatically release.
Restarting protection
The restarting protection feature prevents
uncontrolled restarting of the machine after an
interruption in the power supply.
To restart the operation, switch the On/Off
switch (A) to the Off position and start the
machine again.
2. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always hold your angle grinder firmly with
both hands when operating (See Fig. B).
3. ANTI-VIBRATION AUXILIARY HANDLE
This front handle incorporates a flexible
vibration absorbing mounting between the
bolt and handle grip to reduce vibration and
increase comfort.
NOTE: the handle fixing to the gear case is
flexible and not a rigid clamp. You have the
option of three working positions to provide
the safest and most comfortable control of
your angle grinder (See Fig. C). Side position
Angle grinder
for grinding and top position for cutting. The
handle is screwed clockwise into the gear case
hole (See Fig. B). Always use the auxiliary
handle.
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Must only be used when changing a disc.
Never press when the disc is rotating!
5. DISC FITTING
The inner flange (5) is located over the spindle
(6) and on the two spindle flats. Locate the
disc onto the inner flange and then the
outer flange (7) is screwed onto the spindle.
Press the spindle lock button (4) and rotate
the spindle until it locks, then firmly tighten
the outer flange using your pin spanner to
clamp the disc (See Fig.D). The pins on your
pin spanner locate in the holes on the outer
flange. Check the disc rotates freely and is
securely clamped. Make a no load test run
for 30 seconds to check disc vibration and
disc run out. To remove a disc, reverse these
instructions.
6. ADJUSTABLE OUTER FLANGE
CLAMPING
The outer flange (7) should be adjusted to suit
different disc thickness. For thinner cutting
or diamond discs the raised part of the outer
flange is fitted facing away from the disc (See
Fig. E.2). For thicker grinding discs the raised
part of the outer flange is fitted facing towards
the disc to provide improved support for the
disc hole (See Fig. E.1). Always ensure your
disc is securely clamped.
7. GUARD ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. F)
Before any work on the machine itself,
pull the mains plug.
For work with grinding or cutting discs,
the wheel guard must be mounted.
Wheel Guard for Grinding
The coded projection on the wheel guard (14)
ensures that only a guard that fits the machine
type can be mounted.
Open the clamping lever (8). Place the wheel
guard (14) with coded projection into the
coded groove on the spindle of the machine
head and rotate to the required position
