OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always disconnect your Angle Grinder from the power source when replacing
grinding discs, adjusting the guard, cleaning or when the tool is not in use.
Disconnecting the Angle Grinder will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE SIDE HANDLE
1. Unplug the Angle Grinder from the power source.
2. Install the side handle (1) by screwing it clockwise
into the left side (2) of the gear housing (#3 in Fig. 1).
NOTE:
The handle can be installed on either the
left or right side of the grinder gear housing,
depending upon operator preference (Fig. 6 and 7).
The side handle must always be used to prevent
loss of control and possible injury.
3. Tighten the side handle securely.
NOTE:
Hand-tighten the side handle. Do not over-tighten.
INSTALLING THE GUARD
The guard must be installed before installing a grinding disc or using the Angle
Grinder. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
1. Depress the spindle lock button (1) and rotate
the clamp nut (2) until the spindle locks (Fig. 2).
2. Turn the clamp nut counterclockwise and remove
it from the spindle.
NOTE:
If the clamp nut cannot be loosened by hand,
use the wrench (3) provided.
3. Remove the disc flange (4). It will simply pull off the
spindle (5).
4. Loosen the guard clamp bolt to allow the guard
clamp to expand for installation.
5. Slide the guard clamp (7) over the spindle housing (8) until the blade guard locating
detents mate with the groove (9) in the spindle housing (Fig. 3).
NOTE:
Rotate the guard so it is positioned correctly depending upon the
location of the side handle (Fig. 6 and 7).
6. Rotate guard to position it toward the rear of the grinder.
7. Use a #2 Philips
®
screwdriver to tighten the guard clamp screw (Fig. 4).
8. Install the disc flange, making sure it mates with the flats on the spindle.
9. Install the clamp nut finger tight to hold the disc flange in place.

until spindle locks (Fig. 5).
2. Turn the clamp nut counterclockwise and remove it from spindle.
NOTE:
If the clamp nut cannot be loosened by hand, use the wrench (3)
provided.

remove the disc flange (4).
3. Make sure the flats on the bottom of disk flange are engaged with the flats on
the spindle (5).
4. Place the grinding disc over the spindle with the concave side of the disc (6)
facing outward.
5. Screw the clamp nut (2) onto the spindle with the flat side of nut facing up. Fit the
raised small diameter portion of the clamp nut into the hole in the grinding disc.
Tighten to finger tight only.
