Attaching The Grinding Wheel; Working Instructions - Metabo WE 2400-180 Manual Original

7. Attaching the grinding wheel

Disconnect the mains plug before changing
any accessories. The machine must be
switched off and the spindle at a standstill.
For reasons of safety, attach the parting guard
before performing parting work (see chapter
11. Accessories).
7.1 Locking the spindle
Press in the spindle locking button (3) only
when the spindle is stationary!
- Press in the spindle locking button (3) and turn the
spindle
(2) by hand until you feel the spindle locking
button engage.
7.2 Placing the grinding wheel in position
See illustration B on page 2.
- Fit the support flange (1) on the spindle. The
flange should not turn on the spindle when
properly attached.
- Position the grinding wheel on the support flange
(1) as shown in illustration B.
The grinding wheel must lay flat on the supporting
flange. The metal flange on the parting grinder
disc must lay flat on the support flange.
7.3 Securing/Releasing the clamping nut
Securing the clamping nut (9):
The 2 sides of the clamping nut are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle as follows:
See illustration C on page 2.
- A) For thin grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (9) faces upwards
so that the thin grinding wheel can be attached
securely.
B) For thick grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (9) faces
downwards so that the clamping nut can be
attached securely to the spindle.
- Lock the spindle. Turn the clamping nut (9)
clockwise using the 2-hole spanner (10) to
secure.
Releasing the clamping nut:
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 7.1). Turn the
clamping nut (9) anticlockwise using the 2-hole
spanner (10) to unscrew.
Use only accessories that
are covered by at least
3.4 mm by the safety guard.
8. Use
8.1 Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When switching
the machine on and off, keep it away from dust
deposits. After switching off the machine, only place
it down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands at the intended handles, take a secure
stance and concentrate on the work.
See illustration A on page 2.
Torque activation

Switching on: Slide the lock (5) in the direction of the
arrow, press the trigger (6) and keep it
pressed. The machine is now switched on.
Now slide the lock (5) in the direction of the

(continuous operation).
Switching off: Press the trigger (6) and release.

Working instructions

Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Roughing: position the machine at an angle of 30° -
40° for the best working results.
Separating:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
8.3 Rotate gear housing
