7.1.1
Mounting/installing the guard. (Fig 1)
Make sure the quick clamp is in its open position.
Position the guard on the guard basis. Please notice the notch on the inside of the guard
ring coincides with the foreseen cut out in the guard basis.
Turn the guard in the desired position and tighten it by locking the clamp. (if the clamp is
not tight enough, open it again, tighten the nut using a spanner, then lock the clamp again)
7.1.2
Repositioning (turn) / removing the guard
To reposition/turn the guard, release the quick clamp, turn the guard, and retighten the
clamp.
To remove the guard: if installed, first remove the mounted disc, then work in the opposite
as described above under mounting/installing the guard.
7.2
Installing / replacing the grinding wheel (fig 2)
Prior to mounting/dismounting an accessory always unplug the tool.
Only Use discs of the correct dimension and of good quality. (Use fiber-reinforced
cutting/grinding discs (for stone-metal) or diamond disc (for stone) only).
The grinding disc may not touch the edge of the guard.
Press the spindle lock (fig A, n° 5) and turn the spindle until it engages in the lock. Keep
the spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
Loosen and remove the flange nut from the spindle using the spanner.
Position the disc on the flange.
Place the flange nut on the spindle and tighten using the spanner.
Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is unlocked by rotating it.
Make sure the disc is installed in the correct way (direction of rotation)
Important! Never press the spindle lock before the motor and disc have come
to a complete standstill!
Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor. It will break.
For grinding/cutting discs up to approx. 3 mm thick, screw on the flange nut with the flat side
facing the grinding or cutting wheel. (Fig 3)
Inspect discs regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on efficiency of the machine
and may cause severe injury to user or damage to surrounding. Replace the grinding disc
on time.
7.2.1
Test run for new grinding wheels
When starting the tool, hold the tool in a well protected area and allow the angle grinder to
reach idle speed with the grinding/cutting disc fitted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be
replaced immediately.
7.3
Carbon brushes (fig 4)
Carbon brushes that are burned, broken or shorter than 5 mm are to be replaced by original
replacement brushes. Always replace the carbon brushes in pairs.
Your POWXQ angle grinder allows easy access to the cole brush. Remove the external brush
caps on either side of the machine using a Phillips (cross) screw driver
