in the same manner as the wheel guard for
grinding(5) .
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Must only be used when changing a disc.
Never press when the disc is rotating!
5. FITTING THE DISCS (See Fig. D)
Put the inner flange onto the tool spindle.
Ensure it is located on the two flats of spindle
(see Fig. D1).
Place the disc on the tool spindle and inner
flange. Ensure it is correctly located. Fit the
threaded outer flange making sure it is facing
in the correct direction for the type of disc
fitted. For grinding discs, the flange is fitted
with the raised portion facing towards the
disc. For cutting discs, the flange is fitted with
the raised portion facing away from the disc
(see Fig. D2).
Press in the spindle lock button and rotate the
spindle by hand until it is locked. Keeping the
lock button pressed in, tighten the outer flange
with the spanner provided. (See Fig. D3)
6. SLIDE ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig. E)
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch
(2) forward.
To lock the on/off switch (2), press the on/off
switch (2) down at the front until it engages.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off
switch (2) or, if it is locked, briefly push down
the back of the on/off switch (2) and then
release it.
7. TO USE THE GRINDER (See Fig. F)
ATTENTION: Do not switch the
grinder on whilst the disc is in
contact with the workpiece. Allow the
disc to reach full speed before starting
to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the
main handle and other hand firmly around the
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of
the exposed disc as possible is pointing away
from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the
disc touches the metal.
For best tool control material removal and
minimum overloading, maintain an angle
between the disc and work surface of
approximately 150 -30
0
when grinding.
Use caution when working into corners as
contact with the intersecting surface may
cause the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the
workpiece to cool. Do not touch the hot
surface.
8. CUTTING
WARNING! For cutting metal, always
work with the wheel guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the
machine. Work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down
cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed
is important.
The machine must always work in an up-
grinding motion. Therefore, never move the
machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the
danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of the cut.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
GRINDER
1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum
speed then start working.
2. Do not force the disc to work faster,
reducing the Disc’s moving speed means
longer working time.
3. Always work with a 15-30 angle between
disc and workpiece. Larger angles will cut
ridges into the workpiece and affect the
surface finish. Move the angle grinder across
and back and forth over the workpiece.
4. When using a cutting disc never change
the cutting angle otherwise you will stall the
disc and angle grinder motor or break the
disc. When cutting, only cut in the opposite
direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in the
same direction as the disc rotation the disc
may push itself out of the cut slot.
5. When cutting very hard material best results
can be achieved with a diamond disc.
6. When using a diamond disc it will become
