The direction in which the cutting is performed is
important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding
motion. Therefore, never move the machine in the other
direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.

8. USInG ThE TUrnInG hAnDLE (See Fig.
G)

To best suit the different working positions, your angle
grinder is equipped with a turning handle.
Press the rear of the locking button on the turning handle
and you can rotate the handle 90

to left or right. Then

release the locking button. A click will be heard, when the
handle is then fully locked in place.

WArnInG! Make sure the handle in the
locked position before start the angle
grinder.
rotating the handle is permitted only in the
switched off condition.

9. TO rEPLACE ThE BrUShES (nOT
SUPPLIED) (See Fig. h )

Remove the screws securing the motor brush cover
(See H). Remove the cover, gently lift out, and pull the
spade connector free. Hold back the coil spring and slide
the worn brush out of the housing, carefully release
the spring. Locate the replacement brush, (in the same
orientation) whilst again holding back the coil spring.
Ensure the brush is located and free to move, release the
spring; it should now sit within the groove on the brush.
Re-attach the spade connector to the terminal, replace the
cover and secure.

nOTE: Brushes should be replaced in
pairs. If any query, contact the

helpline.

1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed

then start working.

2. Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the

Disc’s moving speed means longer working time.

3. Always work with a 15

-30

angle between disc

and workpiece. Larger angles will cut ridges into the
workpiece and affect the surface finish. Move the
angle grinder across and back and forth over the
workpiece.

4. When using a cutting disc never change the cutting

angle otherwise you will stall the disc and angle
grinder motor or break the disc. When cutting, only
cut in the opposite direction to the disc rotation. If you
cut in the same direction as the disc rotation the disc
may push itself out of the cut slot.

5. When cutting very hard material best results can be

achieved with a diamond disc.

6. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot. If

this happens you will See a full ring of sparks around
the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no
load speed for 2-3 minutes.

7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or

clamped to prevent movement.

mAiNTENANCE

remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you
may See sparks through the ventilation slots. This is
normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to
operate, if you do experience problems, please check the
following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the power at the

main plug.

2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check that

outer flange is tight, check that the wheel is correctly
located on the flange plate.

3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged

do not use as the damaged wheel may disintegrate,
remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of
old wheels sensibly.

4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the

wheel will soon become clogged and will not grind
effectively.
