CARRYING YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
When lifting or carrying your Angle Grinder always pick
it up by the main body grip area or the loop grip on the
Controller.
Caution:
Never carry the tool with your hand on the
trigger.
MOUNTING GRINDING WHEELS OR
CUTTING DISCS
Note:
Ensure the grinding wheel, cutting disc or
accessory item is correctly mounted and tightened
before use and run the tool with no load for 30
seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is
considerable vibration or if other defects are detected.
If this occurs check the machine to determine the
cause.
Note:
The Angle Grinder is designed to be fitted with
depressed center grinding wheels or, cutting off wheels
when an enclosed type guard is fitted (Not Included)
.
Please contact the Distributor shown on page 12 to
purchase enclosed guard part number CGTAG-115 if you
wish to use a cut off wheel.
The Angle Grinder comes with two 40mm flanges that
are used to clamp a wide variety of accessories. The
fitting of the flanges is extremely important.
Note: The direction of the clamp nut will change for
cutting or grinding.
Caution:
Always inspect the grinding wheel, cutting disc
or accessory before use. Do not use chipped, cracked
or otherwise defective parts.
Position the inner flange (which has no thread) onto the
spindle. Locate the two flats, with the two flat sections
on the spindle.
See
Fig.3.
Position the disc/wheel onto the spindle against the
inner flange with the disc/wheel label facing toward
the grinder. The hole in the disc/wheel should fit neatly
over the raised circular section of the inner flange.
Position the clamp nut
(which has an internal
thread) onto the spindle:
a) For Grinding Wheels:
Ensure the clamp nut raised
section faces
towards
the
disc/wheel.
(Shown Fig. 3.)
b) For Cutting Discs: Ensure the clamp nut raised
section faces
away
from the disc/wheel.
Screw the clamp nut onto the spindle in a clockwise
direction. Depress the spindle lock button on the head
of the Angle Grinder and rotate the disc/wheel and
spindle so that the spindle locks. With the supplied
wrench, position the two pins of the wrench into any
two of the holes in the outer flange. While continuing
to depress the spindle lock button, rotate the wrench in
a clockwise direction until the flange is firmly clamping
the disc/wheel. Do not over tighten. Release the
spindle lock button. To remove disc/wheel reverse the
procedure above.
See
Fig.4.

CONGRATULATIONS
YOU’RE NOW A
BLUCAVER!
You’re one of the growing community who have
embraced the BluCave work zone!
The BluCave Angle Grinder is one of the many
convenient AC ToolBods (power tool bodies) that
clicks into your BluCave AC Controller.
REMEMBER:
Comply with all safety precautions and
instructions when using your BluCave products.
•
When in doubt always ask for advice.
•
Always wear protective clothing.
•
Always work in an uncluttered environment.
TIPS:
Allow the disc to reach full speed before making
contact with the work surface. Control the
pressure and surface contact between the
grinding disc and your work piece to ensure
optimum disc speed. Grinding flat surfaces are
usually done on an acute angle. Too great an
angle causes concentration of pressure on a small
area which may gouge or burn the surface of your
work piece.

CLEANING/SERVICING:
Keep the Angle Grinder clean and dust free.
Always ensure the ventilation slots plus the AC ToolBod
and AC Controller connector are free of any dirt or dust
particles.
After working with materials that produce fine particles
such as dust from bricks or metal filings always allow
the Angle Grinder to run with no load in a dust free
environment. This will help to clear particles from the
internal parts. It is recommended to flow compressed
air through the air vents to further assist this process.
Regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth to
ensure the Angle Grinder does not become slippery or
excessively dirty.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
LUBRICATION
A lubricant has been applied to the gear box that will
last the life of the tool. You are not required to lubricate
the tool during its normal working life.
