OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for cutting, roughing
and brushing metal and stone materials without
using water.
For cutting metal, a special protection guard for
cutting (accessory) must be used.
1. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE WHEEL
GUARD (GRINDING OR CUTTING) (See A)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the wheel
guard must be mounted.
Wheel Guard for Grinding
The coded projection on the wheel guard (6)
ensures that only a guard that fits the machine
type can be mounted. Loosen the Clamp
Adjusting Nut. Place the wheel guard (6) with
coded projection into the coded groove on the
spindle of the machine head and rotate to the
required position (working position). Then tighten
the Clamp Adjusting Nut.

The wheel guard for cutting (11) is mounted in
the same manner as the wheel guard for grinding
(6).
2. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING AUXILIARY
HANDLE (SEE B)
You have the option of two working positions to
provide the safest and most comfortable control
of your angle grinder. The handle is screwed
clockwise into either hole on the sides of the

3. FITTING THE DISCS (SEE C1-C3)
Put the inner flange onto the tool spindle. Ensure
it is located on the two flats of spindle (See C1).
Place the disc on the tool spindle and inner
flange. Ensure it is correctly located. Fit the
threaded outer flange making sure it is facing in
the correct direction for the type of disc fitted. For
grinding discs, the flange is fitted with the raised
portion facing towards the disc. For cutting discs,
the flange is fitted with the raised portion facing
away from the disc (See C2).
Press in the spindle lock button (2) and rotate
the spindle by hand until it is locked. Keeping the
lock button pressed in, tighten the outer flange
with the spanner provided. (See C3)
NOTE:
After mounting the grinder tool and before switch
on, check that the grinding tool is correctly
mounted and that it can be turn freely, make sure
that the grinding tool does not graze against the
protecting guard or other parts.
