Basic Operation
Auxiliary Handle (Fig 4.)
For reasons of safety, when working with this type of electric power tool, the operator must always use the auxiliary handle
(6).
- Screw the handle clockwise, into one of the three threaded apertures best suited to the application and user comfort.
Warning! This machine must never be operated (cutting off/grinding processes) without the correct guard placed correctly
and operating fully.
Fitting The Guard (Fig.5-6)
The guard supplied is designed for grinding only, it is not intended to be used for cutting operations. If you intend to perform
cutting operations with this machine, you need to purchase the additional cutting guard, which has a more enclosed design to
contain any fragments if the cutting disc fails.
- Position the guard onto the grinder collar with the quick release lever in the open position.
- Rotate the guard until it is in the correct position and then close the quick release lever to lock the guard.
Warning! Never attempt to operate this machine without the guard securely fitted and correctly positioned*.
*With the exception of wire cup brushes etc. which negate the guards effectiveness.

Warning! Selection of the correct accessory, suitable for the intended application is vital. Seek guidance if uncertain of
selection.
Warning! The rated (no load) revolutions per minute of the tool must not exceed the speed capacity of the accessory. Please
refer to the accessory manufacturers instructions for information.
Visual Inspection:
- Prior to fitting, abrasive/super-abrasive wheels shall be subject to a visual inspection.
Inspection:
- Each time after mounting, the abrasive/super-abrasive wheel shall be test run for a reasonable time.

Important information B,C,D (Fig.6):
- For cutting applications, and to comply to current legislation, it is necessary to replace the "grinding" guard supplied with
this machine with a "cutting" guard.
- Press and hold the spindle lock button (3).
- Loosen the locking flange (4) anti-clockwise using the pin spanner (8) supplied.
- The spindle may rotate slightly before the spindle lock fully engages.
- Remove the locking flange only.
- Clean the flanges and spindle prior to fitting any accessory.
• If the rear flange (4.1) is removed for cleaning, ensure it locates correctly on the spindle flats when refitting and does not
spin freely.
- When fitting the appropriate accessory please refer to (FIG.7 for specific details on the locking flange correct orientation as
applicable.
Securely tighten the locking flange clockwise using the pin spanner while holding down the spindle lock (4).

accessory is correct and, importantly fully secure on the spindle.
Warning! Never press the spindle lock button (4) while the spindle is in motion.
