Mounting the tool-les protective guard
Fig. 2+3
Tool-les protective guard
The protective guard is pre-adjusted for the diameter of the spindle shaft. If necessary, the
tension of the clamping lever can be adjusted by turning the adjustment-bolt (13). Pay
attention to the correct fitting of the guard (7) on the spindle shaft (10).
•
Open the clamping lever (14)
•
Place the protective guard across the spindle shaft on the machine head in the required
position
•
Close the clamping lever (14) to clamp the protective guard (7).
Warning: the closed side of the protective guard has to point towards the user.
Rotating the handgrip
Fig. 4
The handgrip can be rotaded 90
o
regard to the machine housing. This can result in a better
control of the On/Off switch during special working positions; for example for grinding or left-
hand users.
•
Pull the knob (8) backwards with thumb and forefinger.
•
Rotate the handgrip in the new position (until the blocking).
Mounting the side handle
Fig 1
The side handle can be used for both left-hand and right-hand control.
•
Fasten the side handle (Fig. 5) for left-hand operation on the right-hand side of the
machine.
•
Fasten the side handle for right-hand operation on the left-hand side of the machine.
•
Fasten the side handle for upright working at the top of the machine.
Make sure that the side handle is fastened properly and cannot loosen
unexpectedly.
Mounting grinding discs and roughing discs
Fig. 3 and 4 show how to mount the flange (11) when using thick (4 – 8 mm) and thin (2,5 – 4 mm)
discs.
Special attention when starting the machine
•
Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.

Powercraft
•
Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable
substances.
•
Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands
away from the surface to be cut.
•
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use
another kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.
•
Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product
and when they are required.
•
If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
•
For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the
wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
•
Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it
should become nessesary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
•
Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when
starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the
mains-impedance Zmax <0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of
need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.
Prior to mounting an accessory always unplug the tool.
Mounting a grinding disc
Fig. 2
Use grinding discs of the correct dimension. Use fibre reinforced grinding discs only. The
grinding disc must not touch the edge of the guard.
•
Press the spindle lock (3) and turn the spindle (10) until it engages in the lock. Keep the
spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
•
Remove the flange nut (11) from the spindle using the spanner (12).
•
Position the grinding disc (4) on the flange (9).
•
Place the flange nut on the spindle an tighten it using the spanner.
•
Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is unlocked by rotating it.
