6 Before use
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 Fitting and removing the guard
2
NOTE
The guard is already set to the correct clamping diameter
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
guards suitable 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. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the clamping lever.
3. Fit the guard onto the power tool, taking care to
ensure that the locating lug fits into the groove in
the spindle collar.
4. Rotate the guard to the required position.
5.
CAUTION The closed side of the guard must
always face the operator.
Secure the guard by closing the clamping lever.
6.3 Adjusting the guard
3
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the clamping lever.
3. Rotate the guard to the desired position.
4. Close the clamping lever.
6.4 Fitting the cutting / grinding disc
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.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Clean the clamping flange.
3.
CAUTION
The clamping flange is equipped with
an O-ring.
If this O-ring is missing, the clamping
flange must be replaced.
Fit the clamping flange onto the drive spindle.
4. Fit the diamond disc, cutting disc or grinding disc.
5. Screw on the clamping nut and tighten it.
6.
CAUTION Do not press the spindle lockbutton
before the drive spindle has stopped rotating.
Press the spindle lockbutton and hold it in this
position.
7. Use the wrench to tighten the clamping nut securely
and then release the spindle lockbutton.
6.5 Using the Kwik-Lock clamping nut with
grinding / cutting discs
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.
NOTE
The Kwik-Lock nut can be used instead of the clamping
nut. No tools are then required for changing cutting discs.
NOTE
The Kwik-Lock nut cannot be used with cup wheels,
brushes, rubber backing pads, tuck pointing discs (spe-
cial discs used for joint repair) or with diamond cup
wheels.
6.5.1 Fitting grinding / cutting discs using the
Kwik-Lock clamping nut
4
NOTE
The arrow on the upper surface of the nut must be within
the index marks. If the arrow is not within the index marks
when the Kwik-Lock nut is tightened, it will be impossible
to release the nut by hand. In this case, use the wrench
provided to release the Kwik-Lock nut (do not use a pipe
wrench!).
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Clean the disc clamping flange and the Kwik-Lock
nut.
3.
CAUTION
The clamping flange is equipped with
an O-ring.
If this O-ring is missing, the clamping
flange must be replaced.
Fit the clamping flange onto the drive spindle.
4. Fit the diamond disc, cutting disc or grinding disc.
5. Screw the Kwick-Lock nut onto the spindle until it
contacts the disc (the side with the lettering should
be visible after the nut is screwed on).
