18V CORDLESS ANGLE GRINDER
EN
NOTE
: This handle should be used at all times to
maintain complete control of the tool.
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button must only be used when
changing a disc.
WARNING: Never press it when the disc is
rotating!
5. DISC FITTING (See Fig. F, G)
The inner flange (9) is located over the spindle and
on the two spindle flats. Locate the disc (11), onto the
inner flange (9) and then place the outer flange (8)
onto the spindle. Press the spindle lock button (1) and
rotate the spindle until it locks, then firmly tighten the
outer flange (8) with the supplied spanner (10). Check
if the disc can rotate freely and is securely clamped.
Make a no load test run for 20 seconds to check disc
vibration and disc run out. To remove a disc, reverse
these instructions.
6. ADJUSTABLE OUTER FLANGE CLAMPING (See Fig. H)
The outer flange (8) should be adjusted to suit
different disc thickness. For thinner cutting or
diamond discs the raised part of the outer flange is
fitted facing away from the disc (See b in Fig.H). For
thicker grinding discs the raised part of the outer
flange is fitted facing the disc to provide improved
support for the disc hole (See a in Fig.H). Always
ensure your disc is securely clamped.
7. GUARD ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. I)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
battery pack.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the wheel
guard must be mounted.
Wheel Guard for Grinding
Open the quick release lever (12). Place the wheel
guard with coded projection into the coded groove
on the spindle of the machine head and rotate to the
required position (working position).
To fasten the wheel guard, close the quick release
lever (12).
The closed side of the wheel guard must always point
to the operator.
NOTE:
with the clamping lever open the clamp adjusting
nut can be adjusted to ensure the guard is securely
clamped after the clamping lever is finally closed.
Wheel Guard for Cutting (no supplied)
WARNING:
For cutting metal, always work with
the wheel guard for cutting.
The wheel guard for cutting is mounted in the same
manner as the wheel guard for grinding.
8. REMOVING THE GUARD
Never remove your guard for any other working
conditions.
To remove, first take off the disc and both
flanges. Then open the quick release lever (12) and rotate
the guard to align the projections with the gear case cut
outs, then remove the guard. To re-fit the guard, repeat
this process in reverse. Keep all parts in a safe place.
9. USE THE GRINDER (See Fig.J)
ATTENTION: Do not switch the grinder on while the
disc is in contact with the workpiece. Allow the disc
to reach full speed before starting grinding.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main
handle and other hand firmly around the auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimum
overloading, keep an angle between the disc and the
workpiece surface at approximately 15
o
to 30
o
when
grinding.
Use cautiously when working into corners as
contacting with the intersecting surface may cause
the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete, allow the workpiece to
cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
10. OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your
angle grinder. This can happen if your angle grinder is
subjected to heavy use for prolonged periods of time.
Never attempt to exert too much pressure on your
angle grinder to speed up your work.
The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when light
pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed
of your angle grinder.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run it no load
for 2-3 minutes until it has cooled to normal operation
temperature.
11. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or
dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack
contains Lithium batteries. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack
