ASSEMBLY
GUARD MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Your grinder comes with an adjustable wheel guard. This is to allow you to grind at various angles
and still be protected to some extent from flying residue or debris.
● If the guard needs to be installed, or if you wish to rotate the guard to provide more protection
at the angle you plan to use the grinder.
WARNING - Be sure the tool is switched off and unplugged.
1. Loosen the clamping screw on the collar.
2. Locate the guard collar onto the tool or rotate the guard to give you protection
and expose the disc on the appropriate side.
3. Tighten the screw to clamp the guard in place.
CAUTION - Do not use this tool with the guard removed.
INSTALLATION OF A GRINDING WHEEL
WARNING - Be sure the tool is switched off and unplugged.
1. Turn the tool upside down. Place the backing washer over the spindle, making sure the fit is tight.
2. Place the grinding or cutting disc on the top of the backing washer,
ensuring the bore of the disc fits into the step of the flange.
3. Mount the concave recess side of the locking nut over the spindle.
4. Press the spindle lock firmly and ensure there is no movement in the spindle. Then, while the
spindle lock is depressed, tighten the locking nut in a clockwise direction using the pin spanner.
5. Allow the angle grinder to run at idle for at least 1 minute with the grinding or cutting disc
correctly assembled. Vibration indicates the disc should be stopped and immediately replaced.
OPERATION
SWITCH
1. Hold the tool firmly off the work surface with one hand on the rear hand grip
and the other on the forward handle.
2. With your index finger, push safety lock forward and depress handle.
3. When the tool is running at full speed, lower it gently onto the surface.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
CAUTION - Do not cover the exhaust vents while the tool is in use. This may cause damage
to the motor and reduce the efficiency of the tool.
1. Before starting the grinder, put on safety glasses and make sure that the grinding wheel,
guard and the tool are in good condition and correctly fitted.
2. Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on the rear handle and the other on the side handle.
3. Turn the angle grinder on and then apply the grinding wheel to the workpiece.
4. For the best results, hold the grinder at a 10° - 15° angle to the work piece.
5. Guide the abrasive disc's contact point back and forth over the workpiece with a steady motion.
6. Use just enough pressure to keep the grinder from chattering or bouncing.
7. Avoid overloading the tool for a long time, heavy pressure will decrease its speed and
put a strain on the motor.
8. Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before turning your grinder off.
9. When cutting, avoid tilting the tool out of the cutting plane. Ensure the cutting disc has a clean edge.
10. Do not use a cutting disc for rough grinding.
