6.2 Guard
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
2
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Fit the guard so that the locating lug engages in the
notch in the spindle collar and then rotate it into the
required working position.
3. Secure the guard by tightening the screw.
4. Screw the side handle onto the right or left side of
the gearing section, depending on how the power
tool will be held when working.
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.
6.3 Fitting and removing grinding / cutting discs
4
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 grinding disc before us-
ing 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 2 mm. 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. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Place the clamping flange on the spindle so that the
side with the recess is seated against the spindle
flange (transmission of rotary drive).
3. Fit the insert tool.
4. Screw on the clamping nut and tighten it.
5.
CAUTION Do not press the spindle lockbutton
before the drive spindle has stopped rotating.
Press the spindle lockbutton and hold it in this
position.
6. Use the wrench to tighten the clamping nut securely
and then release the spindle lockbutton.
7. Before switching on, check that the cutting/grinding
tool is fitted correctly and that it is free to rotate.
8. To remove the disc from the power tool, follow the
instructions for fitting the disc but carry out the steps
in the reverse order.
6.4 Fitting / removing a diamond cutting disc
(optional accessory)
3
CAUTION
Check to ensure that the arrow on the diamond cut-
ting disc is pointing in the same direction as the arrow
on the tool.
CAUTION
Do not press the spindle lockbutton before the drive
spindle has stopped rotating.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Place the inner clamping flange on the drive spindle.
3. Fit the diamond cutting disc onto the inner clamping
flange, screw on the clamping nut and tighten it
securely.
4. When fitted, the flat side of the clamping nut must
face the diamond cutting disc.
5. To remove the cutting disc from the tool, follow the
instructions for fitting the disc but carry out the steps
in the reverse order.
6.5 Rotating the gearing section
5
NOTE
To allow the power tool to be used safely and without
fatigue in all positions (e.g. on / off switch facing upwards),
the gearing section can be rotated to one of four positions
at 90° intervals.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Clean the power tool.
3. Remove the side handle from the power tool.
4. Remove the four screws from the gearing section.
5. Rotate the gearing section to the desired position
without pulling it away from the power tool.
6. Secure the gearing section by inserting and tighten-
ing the four screws.
7. Fit the side handle.
