Rebel TOOLS RB-1021, User Manual

Page: 22 / 81

Position of the wheel guard can be adjusted. This feature allows using the angle grinder at
various angles with maintaining proper protection against flying broken pieces and
accidental contact with a wheel or sparks. It should be fitted so that its covering part faces
the operator whereas the uncovered part faces the workpiece.
To fit the wheel guard follow the below instructions:
1. Place the angle grinder upside down on a workbench.
2. Remove the inner flange and lock nut if necessary.
3. Lift the quick release clamp on the wheel guard collar.
4. Put the wheel guard on the spindle.
5. Adjust the position of the guard so that its covering part faces the operator to prevent
the projection of sparks or dust towards him or her.
6. Close the quick release clamp to lock the wheel guard in place.
Fitting and removing wheels
WARNING. ALWAYS use the wheel intended for recommended application (for example:
do not grind with the wheel intended for cutting) and the material of the workpiece.
Use wheels with appropriate diameter and mounting hole size (see Information about the
power tool).
To fit the wheel follow the below instructions:
1. Make sure the battery is disconnected from the power tool.
2. Make sure the wheel guard is properly attached.
3. Keep the spindle lock button pressed.
4. Unscrew the lock nut using the included wrench. Release the button.
5. Fit or replace the wheel.
6. Replace the lock nut according to the type of the wheel used:

• for thin wheels, the flat surface of the lock nut must face the wheel.
7. Tighten the lock nut using the wrench while pressing on the spindle lock button.
8. Ensure the wheel is assembled and tightened correctly before use:
• release the spindle lock button and check if the fitted wheel rotates smoothly,
• connect the battery and operate the power tool with no load for at least 30 seconds in a stable
position.
