Fitting a grinding, cutting or flap disc
Note
: Ensure you have the correct guard installed for the disc you plan to install.
1. Place the Disc (11) onto the Inner Flange (15)
Note
: If using depressed centre discs, ensure that the depression is positioned towards
the Inner Flange.
2. Screw the Outer Flange (16) onto the Spindle (17). The raised centre of the threaded
flange should face towards the Disc when installing a grinding disc, and away when
installing a cutting disc
3. Depress the Spindle Lock button (13) and rotate the Spindle (17) until you feel the
lock engage
4. You can now use the supplied Pin Spanner (14) to fully tighten the Outer Flange.
When tight, release the Spindle Lock button. The angle grinder is now ready for
use (see Fig. B)
5. To remove a disc, depress the Spindle Lock button, rotate the Spindle (17) until you feel
the lock engage, and use the Pin Spanner to remove the Outer Flange
Fitting a wire cup brush
1. Remove Outer Flange (16), Disc (11) (if installed) and Inner Flange (15) from the
Spindle (17)
2. Screw wire cup brush directly onto Spindle
3. Depress the Spindle Lock (13) button and rotate the Spindle until you feel the Spindle
Lock engage
4. Tighten the wire cup brush with a suitable spanner. Release the Spindle Lock button.
The machine is now ready for use (see Fig. A)
5. To remove a wire cup brush, depress the Spindle Lock button, rotate the Spindle until
you feel the lock engage, then use a suitable spanner to remove the wire cup brush
Operation
Switching on/off
Note
: Do not switch the machine on/off when the disc is in contact with the workpiece.
Always allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely
before placing the grinder down. Always hold the machine securely, using both hands, on
the handles provided.
1. Grip the Main Handle (7) and Auxiliary Handle (1) firmly. Press in the Lock Off Button
(8) and operate the On/Off Trigger Switch (9) to start the tool
2. To stop the machine, release the On/Off Trigger Switch
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and metal
grinding discs are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30° to the workpiece surface
(see Image. B)
Note
: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding. Excessive pressure
does not result in more effective removal of material, but will in fact cause premature wear
of the grinding disc and increase wear and tear on the machine.
Cutting
WARNING
: Always ensure that the correct guard for use with cutting discs or
superabrasive wheels is installed.
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal
cutting discs are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and produce
projectiles that could injure the operator and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any sideways
force to cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed in the cut and
shatter
WARNING
: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst cutting. Excessive
pressure does not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in fact cause premature
wear of the cutting disc and increase wear and tear on the machine.
Note
: The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually reduce in
size. The smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on the motor.
To avoid damage to the machine, only use cutting discs that are no less than 75% of
their original size.
Using a cup brush or wire wheel
• Always check that the maximum speed of the cup brush or wire wheel does not exceed
the no load speed of the grinder
• Ensure that no part of the cup brush or wire wheel can come into contact with the
machine housing
• Run the grinder, with cup brush or wire wheel attached, for at least 30 seconds before
use to check that the cup brush or wire wheel is secure, and properly balanced
• When using a wire cup brush or wire wheel, avoid applying excess pressure. Using
greater force will not make the cup brush or wire wheel more effective, but will bend
the wires out of shape and damage the brush
Accessories
A wide range of compatible accessories, including grinding, cutting and flap discs, diamond
wheels, wire cups and more, is available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be
obtained from toolsparesonline.com.
Maintenance
WARNING
: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning.
Cleaning
WARNING
: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when
cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the device’s service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient, a mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
(where applicable)
• Do not clean with organic solvents which is harmful to the power tool body material
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an authorised
service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to
dispose of power tools
