IMPORTANT! Before carrying out the following operations,
make sure that the plug is disconnected from the mains.
TRANSPORT
Always use the packaging or case (when provided) when
transporting the tool; this will protect it from impact, dust and
humidity which can compromise normal operation.
During transport, remove the abrasive disc, brush, etc. from
the machine.
HANDLING
Firmly grasp the handgrip (pos. 2) without using the switch;
keep the tool well away from your body and after use place it
down gently without hitting the disc.
STARTING UP
When choosing where to use the power tool, the following
should be considered:
- that the area is not damp and is sheltered from the elements.
- that the working area is sufficiently large and free from obstacles.
- that the area is well lit.
- that the tool is used close to the interrupter switch.
- that the power supply system is earthed and conforms to the
standards (only if the power tool is Class 1, and equipped with
a plug with earth cable).
- that the room temperature should be between 10° and 35° C.
- that the environment is not in a flammable/explosive atmo-
sphere.
Take out the machine and components and visually check that
they are perfectly intact; then proceed to thoroughly clean them
in order to remove any protective oils from metal surfaces.
ASSEMBLING PROTECTION PROVIDED WITH THE ANGLE
GRINDER (fig.C, pos.10)
IMPORTANT! Only certain types of abrasive discs can
be installed on a given protection; follow the information
provided in the “INSTRUCTIONS - Disc Protection” chapter
on the following pages.
Protection already assembled on the angle grinder:
Check that the protection has been correctly assembled and
fixed.
Disassembled protection provided:
Depending on the protection in use, follow the relevant steps
below.
Protection secured with a flange (pos.24):
Turn the angle grinder upside down. Unscrew the disc lock
flange (pos.9) and remove the disc hold flange (pos.8) from
the threaded shaft (pos.7). Unscrew the screws securing
the flange (pos.24) and remove it. Mount the protection
(pos.14) on the angle grinder, inserting it in the circular
seat. Reposition the flange on the protection and tighten the
screws using the washers, but do not secure completely.
Rotate the protection into the position indicated in fig.A
(protection turned towards the main handgrip) and secure
the screws tightly.
Protection secured with a single screw (pos.25):
Turn the angle grinder upside down. Mount the protection
(pos.14) on the angle grinder, inserting it in the circular
seat. Rotate the protection into the position indicated in fig.A
(protection turned towards the main handgrip). Secure by
tightening the screw located on the ring. Make sure that it
is firmly locked into place and does not turn.
SIDE HANDGRIP ASSEMBLY (pos.13)
The lateral handgrip can be assembled on any side on which
there is a threaded hole (pos.12); it is usually secured on the left
in order to grab hold with the left hand, but it can be assembled
in the position of your preference (e.g. for left-handed people).
Insert the handgrip into the threaded hole of the device and
secure by screwing tightly.
ABRASIVE DISC ASSEMBLY (pos.10, not included)
1) Check that the rotation direction of the disc corresponds to
that of the angle grinder.
2) Turn the angle grinder upside down.
3) Check that the diameter of the seat of the 2 flanges and the
hole of the disc are the same size; to this end, it is better
to measure using a gauge (not included) and reading the
technical data.
4) Temporarily block the rotation of the motor shaft by pressing
the button (pos.5) and unscrew the disc lock flange (pos.9).
Do not disassemble the disc hold flange (pos.8).
