EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
1. Grinding wheel guard - 1 pce
2 . Socket spanner - 1 pce
3 . Additional handle - 1 pce
PREPARATION FOR WORK
ATTACHING THE ADDITIONAL HANDLE
The additional handle ( 3 ) is installed in one of the holes in the grinder
head. It is recommended to use the grinder with the additional handle.
When holding the grinder with both hands (also using the additional
handle), there is less risk of touching the grinder wheel or brush with
your hand, as well as of injuries during recoil.
ADJUSTABLE MAIN HANDLE
The wheel guard protects the operator against flying broken pieces
and accidental contact with a working tool or sparks. The guard
should always be fitted. Special attention should be paid so that its
covering part faces the operator.
• Install the grinding wheel guard ( 4 ) so the protrusion on its clip
matches the notch on the grinder gear casing.
• The wheel guard can be set in any position.
• Secure the mounting bolt.
The removal and adjustment of the wheel guard are performed in a
reverse order to its installation.
REPLACEMENT OF WORKING TOOLS
When working tools are replaced, wear working gloves at all times.
The spindle lock button (1) is only designed to lock the grinder
spindle, when a working tool is installed or removed. Do not use
it as a braking button, when the wheel rotates. Otherwise, the
grinder may become damaged or the user may be injured.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
When grinding or cut-off wheels with the thickness below 3 mm are
installed, the outer flange nut (5) should be tightened with the flat
surface from the wheel side (fig. B).
• Press the spindle lock button ( 1 ).
• Insert the special key (included) into two holes of the outer flange ( 5 )
( fig. A ).
• Rotate the key to loosen and remove the outer flange ( 5 ).
• Place the wheel so it is pressed against the surface of the inner flange
(
6 ).
• Tighten the outer flange ( 5 ) and slightly tighten it with the special key.
The wheel is removed in the reverse order. During installation, the wheel
should be pressed against the surface of the inner flange (
6 ) and seated
centrally in the neck.
INSTALLING THE WORKING TOOLS WITH THREADED HOLES
• Press the spindle lock button ( 1 ).
• Remove a previously installed working tool, if it is installed.
• Both flanges should be removed before installation – the inner flange
(
6 ) and outer flange ( 5 ).
• Put the threaded part of a working tool onto the spindle and slightly
tighten.
Working tools with threaded holes are removed in the reverse order.
INSTALLING THE ANGLE GRINDER ON A TRIPOD FOR ANGLE
GRINDERS
The angle grinder can be used on a dedicated tripod for angle grinders,
provided that it is correctly installed according to instructions of the
manufacturer of a tripod.
OPERATION / ADJUSTMENTS
Before the grinder is used, check condition of the grinding wheel.
Do not use chipped, broken or otherwise damaged grinding wheels.
Worn grinding wheel or brush should be immediately replaced with
new one before use. Once your work is completed, you should
switch off the grinder and wait until it comes to a complete stop.
Only then the grinder can be put aside. Do not brake a rotating
grinding wheel by pressing it against a workpiece.
• Do not overload the grinder. The weight of the power tool exerts
sufficient pressure to efficiently work with the tool. Overloading
and excessive pressure may lead to dangerous cracking of the
working tool.
• If the grinder is dropped during operation, it should be checked
and a working tool might need to be replaced, when it is damaged
or deformed.
• Never strike the workpiece with a working tool.
• Do not use the grinding wheel for hammering or stripping of the
workpiece, especially when corners, sharp edges are worked, etc.
(this may cause loss of control of the power tool and recoil).
• Do not use discs from circular saws intended for wood cutting.
Failure to observe this recommendation may result in recoil of
the power tool, loss of control and may lead to injuries of the
operator.
SWITCHING ON /SWITCHING OFF
When the grinder is switched on and operated, it should be held
with both hands.
• Press the rear part of the switch ( 2 ).
• Move the switch ( 2 ) forwards - (towards the head) ( fig. C ).
• Press the front part of the switch for continuous operation.
• The switch will be automatically locked in the position for continuous
operation.
• Press the rear part of the switch ( 2 ) to switch the tool off.
Once the grinder is switched on, wait until the grinding wheel
reaches maximum speed and only then you can begin to work.
During operation do not use the switch to switch the grinder on
and off. The grinder switch can be used only when the power tool is
moved away from the workpiece.
CUTTING
• The angle grinder can be used for cutting in a straight line only.
• Do not cut a workpiece holding it in your hands.
• Large workpiece should be supported. Make sure the support
points are located near the cutting line and at the ends of the
workpiece. A stably located workpiece will not tend to move,
when it is cut.
• Small workpieces should be fastened in a vice or using clamps, for
example. The workpiece should be fastened so that it is cut near
the fastening element. This will ensure higher cutting precision.
• Do not allow the cut-off wheel to vibrate or jump, since this will lower
the quality of cutting and may cause the cut-off wheel to break.
• Do not exert lateral pressure onto the cut-off wheel during
cutting.
• A proper cut-off wheel should be used depending on a workpiece
type.
• When a workpiece is cut, it is recommended that a cutting
direction is the same as rotation direction of the cut-off wheel.
The cutting depth depends on a wheel diameter ( fig. G ).
• Only wheels with nominal diameters not larger than recommended
for a given grinder model should be used.
• Do not allow the fastening flanges to contact a workpiece in case of
deep cuts (e.g. sections, building blocks, bricks, etc.).
Cut-off wheels reach high temperatures during operation. It cannot
be touched with uncovered body parts, before they cool down.
GRINDING
Grinding wheel, cup-type grinding wheels, flap wheels, wheels with
abrasive fibre, wire brushes and flexible discs, etc. should be used for
grinding. Each type of discs and workpiece requires proper working
method and personal protective equipment.
Cut-off wheels should not be used for grinding.
Grinding discs are intended for removal of material with an edge
of the disc.
• Do not use the lateral surface for grinding. The optimum working
angle for this disc type is 30° (fig. H).
• Works related to grinding can be performed only, when proper
grinding discs are used for a given workpiece.
When flap wheels, discs with abrasive fibre and flexible discs for
sandpaper are used, attention should be paid to the proper tool
angle (fig. I).
• Do not grind with the entire surface of a wheel.
• This disc type should be used for working flat surfaces.
Wire brushes are mainly used for cleaning sections and hard-to-
reach spaces. They can be used to remove rust, painting coats, etc.
from a workpiece surface (fig. K).
Only such working tools can be used, whose permissible rotational
speed is higher or equal to the maximum no load speed of the
grinder.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Before any operations related to installation, adjustment, repairs or
maintenance are commenced, the plug of the power cord should be
disconnected from the socket.
