Setting up
Multi-position front handle
Screw the front handle (5) into
the most suitable mounting port
(6) (top, left side or right side) to
suit the application. Ensure that
the handle is fully screwed in
place and firm.
Disc guard
WARNING.
Switch off the grinder and disconnect it from the
power point.
NOTE. Grinding operations normally require the angle
grinder to be held with the grinding disc parallel to the
plane of the workpiece whilst cutting operations normally
require the angle grinder to be held with the cutting disc at
right angles to the workpiece. Take the time to find the best
combination of front handle and slimline handle positions to
suit the task at hand. It can make a considerable difference
to the levels of convenience and safety of operation.
1. Open the quick release guard lever (12).
2. Position the lug on the inside of the central guard ring in
the vertical slot in the spindle cover and press the guard
onto the spindle cover.
3. Twist the guard to the appropriate position for either
grinding or cutting.
4. Lock the guard in position with the quick release guard
lever.
Operation
This angle grinder can be used for grinding and cutting steel,
stone or ceramic workpieces such as pipe, box section,
rectangular, angle iron steel bar, house bricks and tiles. Do
not attempt to grind wood or a soft metal such as lead. The
material will quickly “fill” the disc and render it useless.
Before starting the grinder first ensure that the disc, disc
guard and tool are in good condition.
Position the guard (4) as described in the disc guard section
so that it will deflect hot sparks away from the operator.
Switching on and off
1. Plug the power cord into the
power point.
2. Start the tool by depressing
the lock OFF / ON button (2)
and pull trigger switch (1).
Release the trigger to stop the
tool.
3. If you press the lock OFF/
ON button (2) while the trigger
switch is depressed, the
switch is kept in the operating
position. To release the lock on
button, press and release the
trigger switch.
4. Hold the grinder firmly while
it is switched on and only
apply gentle pressure to the
workpiece. Little more than
the weight of the tool should
be applied to give the best
and most efficient material
removal. Forcing and excessive
pressure can cause dangerous
disc fracture or damage to
the tool. Hold the grinder at
approximately 15° to 30º to the work and move slowly.
