21. Warning.

The  use  of  any  accessory  or  attachment,  other

than those recommended in this instruction man-

ual or the catalog, may present a risk of personal

injury.

22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.

This electric tool is in accordance with the rele-

vant safety requirements. Repairs should only be

carried  out  by  qualified  persons  using  original

spare parts, otherwise this may result in consid-

erable danger to the user.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

ENB031-5

1.

Always  use  eye  and  ear  protection.  Other  per-

sonal  protective equipment such  as dust mask,

gloves, helmet and apron should be worn when

necessary. If in doubt, wear the protective equip-

ment.

2.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before  carrying  out any  work on the

tool.

3.

Keep guards in place.

4.

Use  only  wheels  with  correct  size  and  wheels

having  a  maximum  operating  speed  at  least  as

high  as  the  highest  No  Load  Speed  marked  on

the  tool’s  nameplate.  When  using  depressed

centre  wheels,  be  sure  to  use  only  fiberglass-

reinforced wheels.

5.

Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage

before  operation.  Replace  cracked  or  damaged

wheel immediately.

6.

Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and

store wheels with care.

7.

Do not use separate reducing bushings or adap-

tors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

8.

Use only flanges specified for this tool.

9.

Do  not  damage  the  spindle,  the  flange  (espe-

cially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Dam-

age  to  these  parts  could  result  in  wheel

breakage.

10. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole

wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long

enough to accept the spindle length.

11. Before  using  the  tool  on  an  actual  workpiece,

test run the tool at the highest no load speed for

at  least  30  seconds  in  a  safe  position.  Stop

immediately if there is any vibration or wobbling

that could indicate poor installation or a poorly

balanced wheel. Check the tool to determine the

cause.

12. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

13. Hold the tool firmly.

14. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

15. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

16. Use  the  specified  surface  of  the  wheel  to  per-

form the grinding.

17. Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.

18. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that

sparks fly  away  from you  and  other persons or

flammable materials.

19. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate

after the tool is switched off. 

20. Do  not  touch  the  workpiece  immediately  after

operation;  it  may  be  extremely  hot  and  could

burn your skin.

21. Position  the tool so that the power  cord always

stays behind the tool during operation.

22. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or

badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-

circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

23. Do not use the tool on any materials containing

asbestos.

24. Do not use water or grinding lubricant.

25. Ensure  that  ventilation  openings  are  kept  clear

when  working  in  dusty  conditions.  If  it  should

become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect

the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic

objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.

26. When  use  cut-off  wheel,  always  work  with  the

dust collecting wheel guard required by domes-

tic regulation.

27. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any lat-

eral pressure. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing wheel guard (Fig.1)

CAUTION:

Always  be  sure  that  the  tool  is  switched  off  and

unplugged before installing or removing the wheel guard.
When using a depressed center wheel or a cut-off wheel,

always use a  wheel guard. Mount the wheel guard with

the tab on the wheel guard band aligned with the notch

on  the  bearing  box.  Then  rotate  the  wheel  guard

180 degrees  counterclockwise.  Be  sure  to  tighten  the

screw securely.

Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 2)

CAUTION:

Always  be  sure  that  the  tool  is  switched  off  and

unplugged before installing or removing the side grip.
Screw the side grip on the tool securely. 

The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool, 

whichever is convenient.

Installing or removing depressed center wheel 

(Fig. 3 & 5)

CAUTION:

Always  be  sure  that  the  tool  is  switched  off  and

unplugged before installing or removing the wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel on

over  the  inner  flange  and  screw  the  super  nut  onto  the

spindle. So that the side with the wrench holes faces out-

side. 

To  tighten  the  super  nut,  press  the  shaft  lock  firmly  so

that  the  spindle  cannot  revolve,  then  use  the  lock  nut

wrench and securely tighten clockwise.

To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in

reverse.
