spindle lock engages and locks the spindle. Use the pin 

wrench (11) to unscrew the outer flange (13). Note that 

this flange unscrews anticlockwise. (Fig. I)

2. Remove the outer flange (13) (Fig. J) and the used 

disc.(Fig. K)

3. Clean the flanges (13 and 15) and check the new disc.
4. Ensure that the non-threaded 

inner flange (15) is on the 

spindle and located correctly. 

The two machined flat 

sections on the inner flange 

(15) must face the angle 

grinder and locate in the 

matching positions on the 

spindle. (Fig. L) 

Fit the new disc, ensuring that 

the disc is correctly located on the inner flange.

NOTE. 

Make sure that you select the correct disc for the 

planned application, i.e. fit a metal grinding disc for cutting 

metal, a masonry grinding disc for grinding masonry, a 

cutting disc for cutting, etc.
5. Fit the outer flange (13) with the raised centre section 

facing outwards as 

shown in the picture below.  

(Figs. M and N)

IMPORTANT. 

The depressed centre disc must be correctly 

located on the inner flange. Refer to the assembly drawing 

below.

6. Turn the new disc by hand, ensuring that it is tight in 

the flanges and that it rotates fully and does not wobble 

unduly.

7. Run the angle grinder no load for at least one minute 

to ensure the new disc is in good condition. Make sure 

you are wearing all the safety gear and that you face the 

grinder away from you.

1. To remove the disc, press and hold the spindle lock 

button (2) and rotate the disc by hand until the spindle 

lock engages and locks the spindle. Use the pin wrench 

(11) to unscrew the outer flange (13). Note that this flange 

unscrews anticlockwise.

2. Remove the outer flange (13) and the used disc.
3. Clean the flanges (13 and 15) and check the new disc.
4. Ensure that the non-threaded inner flange (15) is on 

the spindle and located correctly. The two machined 

flat sections on the inner flange (15) must face the 

angle grinder and locate in the matching positions on 

the spindle. Fit the new disc, ensuring that the disc is 

correctly located on the inner flange.

NOTE. 

Make sure that you select the correct disc for the 

planned application, i.e. fit a metal grinding disc for cutting
