WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional
safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration.
ASSEMBLY
⚠
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn the
tool off and disconnect from the power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing tools or accessories.
AUXILIARY HANDLE
Screw the handle (2) into one of the side holes on the head of the
grinder as shown in Fig. B. Ensure the handle is secure before use.
METAL GUARD
When using a grinding wheel, first install the metal guard (5) over the
collar (10) and rotate the guard on the tool so that the closed side of
the guard always points toward the operator as shown in Fig. C.
Tighten the screw (12) so the guard cannot move out of position.
FLANGES AND WHEELS
Mount the backing flange (7) onto the spindle (9) with the slot
orientated so that it interlocks with the spindle. Fit the disc, ensuring
it seats correctly onto the flange, then screw on the lock nut (8). Press
the spindle lock (6) and tighten the lock nut using the pin spanner (13).
For installation and operation of other Arbortech accessories please
refer to their dedicated instructions.
CHIP CATCHER AND SANDING PAD
When using a Sanding pad, first install the Chip catcher (17) over the
collar (10), then tighten up the auxiliary handle (2) and side screw (18).
