9.3 Particulate matter protection cap
Always fit the particulate matter protection cap if
the surroundings are heavily polluted.
Attachment:
See page 3, figures K and L.
Attach the particulate matter protection cap (B4) as
shown by pushing it over the cable on the back of the
machine and pressing it into place.
To remove:
See page 3, figure M.
Remove the particulate matter protection cap (B4) as
shown. It can be removed from the back of the machine
with light pressure.
10. Attaching the tools, working notes
Prior to any conversion work: Pull the mains plug
from the socket. The machine must be switched
off and the spindle at a standstill.
For reasons of safety, attach the cutting safety
cover before performing cutting-off operations
(see chapter 8. Accessories).
10.1 Locking the spindle:
• Press in the spindle locking button (A1/F1) and turn
the spindle by hand until the spindle locking button
engages.
10.2 Placing the grinding disc in position:
• Fit the support flange (F3) on the spindle (F2). The
flange should not turn on the spindle when properly
attached. Screw support flange with clamping wrench
(F5) so that the small collar is facing upwards.
• Place the grinding disc on the support flange (F3). The
grinding disc must lay flat on the supporting flange.

10.3 Securing/releasing the clamping nut:
Securing the clamping nut:
The 2 sides of the clamping nut (F4) are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle (F2) as follows:
1) For thin grinding discs:
The edge of the clamping nut (F4) faces upwards so
that the thin grinding wheel can be attached securely.
2) For thick grinding discs:
The edge of the clamping nut (F4) faces downwards
so that the clamping nut can be attached securely to
the spindle (F2).
Releasing the clamping nut:
Lock the spindle (see chapter 10.1). Turn the clamping
nut (F4) anticlockwise using the clamping wrench (F5)
to unscrew.
10.4 Working instructions:
Grinding and sanding operations:
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.
Rough grinding:
Position the machine at an angle of 30° – 40° for the
best working results.
Cutting-off operations:
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.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
