than supplied with the machine to make the disc fit
properly.

flange nut (12) and cannot touch the grinding surface.
-
Inspect the grinding disc for any damage – do not use
cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged discs.
-
Set the guard, rotate the guard to the best position to
catch sparks and debris from the disc.

Run idle for 30 seconds - if there is any abnormal vib-
ration or other fault – switch off, inspect and rectify
