 OPERATION

WARNING 

READ ALL WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL.

WARNING 

Never switch the Angle 

Grinder “ON” or “OFF” while under load 
conditions.

1. When starting hold the Angle Grinder

firmly with both hands. One hand on the

rear handle or the motor housing and the
other hand on the side handle.

2. To turn the Angle Grinder “ON” without

locking it, push the switch up without
putting pressure on the switch. When
pressure is released, the switch snaps to
the “OFF” position.

4. To lock the switch “ON”, press the switch

button up while pressing down.

5. To unlock the switch, simply press and

release the back (grooved) part of the

switch. Switch is spring loaded and will

snap back automatically.

CAUTION

 Always allow the Angle Grinder

to come up to full speed before touching
any surface. Always take the tool away
from the workpiece before turning the tool
“OFF”. Let the tool come to a complete
stop before setting it down. This tool
operates best under light pressure.

Exerting heavy pressure will not speed up

the work and may cause damage to the
motor.

ATTACHING WHEELS WITH DEPRESSED CENTERS

ATTACHING GRINDING WHEEL OR CUTTING DISC

WARNING

 Always check the tool warning 

label for the recommended speed rating 
on accessories. Never run a wheel or 
brush over the rated speed. Accessories 

exceeding the recommended speed may 

fly apart and cause serious personal injury.

NOTE 

Hubbed wheels do not require 

mounting flanges.

1. Place the inner flange over the spindle

making sure the fit is tight.

2. Place the grinding or cutting disc on the

top of the inner flange ensuring the bore

fits into the step of the flange.

3. Mount the concave recess side of the

outer flange nut over the spindle.

1. Unplug the grinder.
2. Turn the tool upside down.

3. Place the inner flange on the spindle so that it 

matches with the flats on the shaft.

4. Fit the disc over the boss on the inner flange.

5.

Screw the wheel-retaining nut down over

the disc. Depending on the disc thickness,

the boss on the outer flange nut can face 

down or up.

6. Fit the two prongs of the wrench into the holes

in the outer flange nut.

tighten the nut with the wrench.
