instruction book carefully.

InTEnDED USE

The machine is intended for cutting, and grinding metal and
stone materials without using water. For cutting using, a
special protection guard (not supplied ) must be used.

1. LOCK-OFF SWITCh (See Fig. A )

Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting. To
switch on your tool, push the safety switch lever (b) forward
and depress on/off switch (a) fully. Now your tool is switch
on. To switch off your tool, just release the On/Off switch.

An auxiliary handle is supplied and can be fixed into any
of the three positions on the gear housing. If you are right
handed fit the handle as shown in Fig.B. If you are left
handed fit the handle the other way round. When using a
cutting disc, you can screw the handle into the position on
top of the gear housing.

nOTE:

This handle should be used at all times to maintain

complete control of the tool.

3. hAnD GrIP ArEAS (See Fig. C )

Always hold your angle grinder firmly with both hands when
operating.

(See Fig. D )

WArnInG!
Before any work on the machine itself,

pull the mains plug.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the
wheel guard must be mounted.

Fitting the guard

Aline the projection on the guard to the indentation on the
gear box. Place the protection guard with projection into the
groove on the spindle collar of the machine head, and rotate
the guard to the required working position.
Tighten the screw on the spinder collar with the Allen Key
(12).

nOTE:

The closed side of the guard must always point

towards the operator.

removing the guard

Loosen the screw on the spindle collar with the Allen Key
(12).

Rotate the guard to a proper position and take it off from
the machine.

5. SPInDLE LOCK BUTTOn

Must only be used when changing a disc. Never press when
the disc is rotating!

6. FITTInG ThE DISCS (nOT SUPPLIED) (See
Fig. E1-E3 )

Fit the inner flange onto the tool spindle and screw it tightly
(See Fig. E1).
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 E2).
Press in the spindle lock button and rotate the spindle by
hand until it is locked. Keeping the lock button pressed in,
tighten the outer flange with the Spanner(11) provided. (See
E3).

7. TO USE ThE DISCS (not supplied) (See Fig.
F )
FOr GrInDInG

ATTEnTIOn: Do not switch the grinder
on whilst the disc is in contact with the

work piece. Allow the disc to reach full speed
before starting to grind.

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, maintain an angle between the disc and work
surface of approximately 15

-30

when grinding.

Use caution when working into corners as contact with the
intersecting surface may cause the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the work piece to cool. Do
not touch the hot surface.

FOr CUTTInG

WArnInG! For cutting metal, always
work with the wheel guard for cutting

(not supplied).

When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine.
Work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by
applying sideward pressure.
