OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Before using your tool be sure to read the
instruction manual carefully.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Slide the switch forward to start your tool and lock your
tool for continuous working. To switch off your tool,
depress the rear of the spring loaded switch (See Fig A).
2. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always hold your angle grinder firmly with both hands
when operating (See Fig B).
3. AUXILIARY HANDLE
You have the option of two working positions to
provide the safest and most comfortable control of
your angle grinder (See Fig C). The handle is screwed
clockwise into either hole on the sides of the gear case.
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Must only be used when changing a disc. Never press
when the disc is rotating!
5. DISC FITTING
The inner flange (6) is located over the spindle (7) and
on the two spindle flats. Locate the disc onto the inner
flange and then the outer flange (5) is screwed onto
the spindle (See Fig.E). Press the spindle lock button (4)
and rotate the spindle until it locks, then firmly tighten
the outer flange using your special spanner to clamp
the disc (See Fig D). The pins on your special spanner
locate in the holes on the outer flange. Check the disc
rotates freely and is securely clamped. Make a no load
test run for 20 seconds to check disc vibration and disc
run out. To remove a disc, reverse these instructions.
6. ADJUSTABLE OUTER FLANGE CLAMPING
The outer flange (5) should be adjusted to suit different
disc thickness. For thinner cutting or diamond discs
the raised part of the outer flange is fitted facing away
from the disc (See Fig F.1). For thicker grinding discs the
raised part of the outer flange is fitted facing the disc to
provide improved support for the disc hole (See Fig F.2).
Always ensure your disc is securely clamped.
7. GUARD ADJUSTMENT
To move the guard you must release the guard lock bolt
(8) using the other end of the special spanner (See Fig
G). The guard can then be rotated to provide maximum
protection against sparks and debris. Finally, tighten the
guard bolt (8).
