7. Assembly
Always remove the battery before attempting any installation or adjustment work or changing the disc or
other accessories. Inadvertent operation of the on/off switch (3) can otherwise cause injury.
a) Installing/adjusting guard
The guard must be securely attached to the tool in such a way that only the smallest possible part faces the
operator.
When installing the guard (6), no disc should be attached. Remove the disc before installation if necessary.
• Open the clamping lever on the guard (6).
• Install the guard (6) onto the flange on the housing as shown in the illustra-
tion.
• Turn the guard (6) to the desired position and close the clamping lever.
• To adjust the guard (6) later with the disc fitted, open the clamping lever
on the guard, turn the guard (6) to the desired position and retighten the
clamping lever.
b) Installing additional handle
The housing has three threads (2) for attaching the additional handle (7). This facilitates handling depend-
ing on the intended use (cutting or grinding) or for right-handed or left-handed users.
• Screw the additional handle (7) into the desired thread (2).
c) Attaching/replacing discs
Only use suitable discs with the correct inner and outer diameters. Do not use adapters or reducers
Only activate the motor lock (1) when the drive axle is not rotating.
Do not use worn, damaged or dirty discs.
• Place the inner flange with the collar facing outwards onto the drive axle.
• Turn the inner flange until it snaps into place on the drive axle.
• Place the cutting or grinding disc (8) onto the inner flange.
Please note that the disc (8) must not touch the guard while rotating
later due to its shape. For cranked discs, the crank should point
away from the housing as the disc would otherwise grind against the
guard.
If the disc (8) has information on the direction of rotation, the direc-
tion on the disc must match the direction of rotation on the appliance
(arrow on guard (6) or on motor housing).
• Press the motor lock (1) and screw the outer flange onto the drive axle by
hand.
Depending on the thickness of the disc (8), the collar of the outer
flange must point inwards or outwards (see illustration).
When using discs with a thickness of 4 mm or more at the machine
connection, the outer flange is screwed on with the collar pointing
inwards as shown in the illustration.
For thinner discs, the flange must be screwed on with the collar
pointing to the outside.
• Tighten the outer flange with the motor lock (1) still pressed down using the
face pin wrench (9).
After attaching the disc, allow the appliance to idle for about a minute to test the disc (8). Do not stand or
allow other people close by to stand in the midst of the rotating disc. Damaged discs usually break during
this test phase.
If you notice strong vibrations, sparks or unstable operation during the test run, switch off the appliance
immediately and replace the disc.
