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.
CAUTION
Wear gloves when fitting or removing parts, when
making adjustments or when remedying malfunc-
tions.
WARNING
Never use the power tool without the guard.
CAUTION
Before using another accessory that is recommen-
ded for the angle grinder in conjunction with the
angle grinders mentioned above, read the operat-
ing instructions for the applicable angle grinder and
observe all instructions.
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
The closed side of the guard must always face the
operator.
CAUTION
Adjust the position of the guard to suit the require-
ments of the work being done.
6.2.1 Fitting and removing the guard or guard with
cover plate
4
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.
6.2.2 Adjusting the guard or guard with cover
plate

1. Release the clamping lever.
2. Rotate the guard to the desired position.
3. Close the clamping lever.
6.3 Fitting a disc
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 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.
6.4 Insert tool with Kwik-Lock quick-release nut
CAUTION
When operating the power tool, take care to ensure
that the Kwik-Lock nut does not come into contact
with the work surface. Do not use a damaged Kwik-
Lock nut.
6.4.1 Fitting and removing the insert tool using the
Kwik-Lock quick-release nut
