minutes until it has cooled to normal operation temperature.
11. TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES (SEE H)
Remove the screw securing the motor brush cover (see H). Remove the cover, gently lift out, and
pull the spade connector free. Hold back the coil spring and slide the worn brush out of the housing,
carefully release the spring. Locate the replacement brush, (in the same orientation) whilst again
holding back the coil spring. Ensure the brush is located and free to move, release the spring; it should
now sit within the groove on the brush. Re-attach the spade connector to the terminal, replace the cover
and secure.
Note: Brushes should be replaced in pairs. If any query, contact the Helpline.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE 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 very hot. If this happens you will see a full ring of
sparks around the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no load speed for 2-3 minutes.
7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks
through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent
in order to avoid a safety hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems, please
check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the power at the main plug.
2.
If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check that outer flange is tight, check that the wheel is
correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged do not use as the damaged wheel may
disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the wheel will soon become clogged and will not
grind effectively.
