6 Before use
DANGER
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
WARNING
Never use the power tool without the guard.
6.1 Fitting the side handle
WARNING
The side handle must be fitted for all types of work.
The side handle may be screwed onto the power tool on
the right or left.
6.2 Guard
CAUTION
Wear gloves when fitting or removing parts, when
making adjustments or when remedying malfunc-
tions.
CAUTION
Adjust the position of the guard to suit the require-
ments of the work being done.
CAUTION
The closed side of the guard must always face the
operator.
6.2.1 Fitting and removing the guard or guard with
cover plate
3
NOTE
The guard is already set to the correct tension by way
of the adjusting screw. If the tension is too low when
the guard is fitted, the adjusting screw can be tightened
slightly to increase the tension.
NOTE
The keyed locating lug on the guard ensures that only
a guard designed for use with the power tool can be
fitted. The keyed locating lug also prevents the guard
from coming into contact with the disc.
1. Release the clamping lever.
2. Fit the guard onto the spindle collar so that the
keyed locating lug engages in the recess provided.
3. Rotate the guard to the required position.
4.
CAUTION The closed side of the guard must
always face the operator.
Secure the guard by closing the clamping lever.
5. To remove the guard from the power tool, follow the
instructions for fitting the guard but carry out the
steps in the reverse order.

making adjustments or when remedying malfunc-
tions.
DANGER
Check that the speed rating printed on the cutting
or grinding disc is equal to or higher than the rated
speed of the power tool.
DANGER
Check the condition of the disc before using it. Do
not use discs that are broken, cracked or damaged in
any way.
NOTE
Diamond discs must be replaced when the cutting or
grinding performance drops significantly. This generally
is the case when the segments reach a height of less
than ¹⁄₁₆". Other discs must be replaced when the cutting
performance drops significantly or other parts of the angle
grinder (not the disc) come into contact with the material
you are working on. Abrasive discs generally have to be
replaced when the durability date has been reached.
1. Clean the clamping flange.
2. Fit the clamping flange onto the drive spindle.
3. Fit the disc.
