Do not use extension cords with 1.25mm2 or 16 AWG conductor cross sections.
6.2 Use of generators or transformers
This tool may be powered by a generator or transformer when the following condi-
tions are fulfilled:
– Alternating current, power output at least 2600 W.
– The operating voltage must be 5% to –15% of the rated voltage at all times.
– Frequency must be within the 50–60 Hz range and never greater than 65 Hz.
– An automatic voltage regulator with starting boost must be used.
The generator or transformer should never be used to power other tools or appli-
ances simultaneously. Switching other tools or appliances on or off may cause under-
voltage or overvoltage peaks that can cause damage to the electric tool.
6.3 Fitting the side handle
The side handle must be fitted at all times when the tool is in use. The side handle can
be fitted on the left or right side of the tool.
6.4 Disc guard
-NOTE-
The disc guard must be fitted at all times when the tool is in use.
Always take care to ensure that the closed side of the guard is positioned towards the
operator’s body.
The position of the guard can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the work being
done.
6.4.1 Fitting the disc guard
The disc guard is equipped with locating lugs that ensure only disc guards of a type
suitable for use with the tool can be fitted.
The locating lugs of the disc guard fit into the guide groove in the collar around the
drive spindle.
The tool features a bayonet-type quick-release clamping mechanism for the disc
guard:
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Place the disc guard on the drive spindle collar so that the two triangular marks on
the guard and on the tool are in alignment.
3. Press the disc guard, under spring pressure, onto the drive spindle collar and rotate
it until it engages.
6.4.2 Adjusting the disc guard
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Press the release button and rotate the disc guard into the desired position.
6.4.3 Removing the disc guard
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Press the release button and rotate the disc guard until the two triangular marks on
the guard and on the tool are in alignment.
3. Lift the disc guard away from the tool.
6.5 Fitting cutting / grinding discs
Use only cutting or grinding discs approved for use at a speed at least as high as the
highest no-load speed of the tool.
Damaged discs, or discs that are out of round or cause vibration, must not be used.
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
