Operating Instructions; Switching On And Off - GMC AG230MGSS Mode D'emploi

Fitting a grinding or cutting disc
Note: Ensure you have the correct guard installed for the disc you
plan to install.
1. Ensure that the Inner Flange (6) is in place on the Spindle (4) and
positively engaged
2. Place the cutting or grinding disc onto the inner flange
Note: If using depressed centre discs, ensure that the depression is
positioned towards the inner flange.
3. Screw the Threaded Flange (5) onto the Spindle (4). The raised
GB
centre of the threaded flange should face towards the disc when
installing a grinding disc, and away when installing a cutting disc
4. Depress the Spindle Lock Button (3) and rotate the spindle until
you feel the lock engage
5. You can now use the supplied Pin Spanner (8) to fully tighten the
threaded flange. When tight, release the spindle lock button.
The grinder is now ready for use
6. To remove a disc, depress the spindle lock button, rotate the
spindle until you feel the lock engage, and use the pin spanner to
remove the threaded flange
Adjusting the swivel-action handle
Warning: Always unplug the grinder from
the mains supply before making any
adjustments.
Note: The main handle position of this
angle grinder can be adjusted to suit the
individual application and user preference
for different work positions. This
increases operator safety and comfort
dramatically when working with heavy
angle grinders.
1. Depress the Swivel-Action Button (14)
2. Rotate the handle into the desired
position
Note: The handle rotates 90° clockwise
or anticlockwise from its standard
position.
3. Ensure the handle is firmly locked in
position and the swivel-action button
has been released
Note: Change the Auxiliary Handle (2) to a position that best
complements the orientation of the main handle and suits
the application.

Operating Instructions

Switching on and off

WARNING: Due to this angle grinder's
high power rating it is necessary to
completely unwind the cable of any
extension leads or cable reels used to
connect this device to the mains
power supply.
Note: Do not switch the machine on/
off when the disc is in contact with the
workpiece. Always allow the motor to
reach its full speed before applying load,
and to stop completely before placing the grinder down. Always hold
the machine securely, using both hands, on the handles provided
NOTE: Switching off the angle grinder under load will significantly
reduce the service life of the on/off switch.
1. To start the machine, grip the Rear Handle (1) and Auxiliary Handle
(2) firmly
2. Shift the Lock-Off Device (12) forward and squeeze the On/Off
Trigger Switch (7)
3. Release the trigger switch to stop the machine
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations.
Stone and metal grinding discs are not interchangeable, use the
correct disc for your application
• When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30° to the
workpiece surface (Fig B)
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding.
Excessive pressure does not result in more effective removal of
material, but will in fact cause premature wear of the grinding disc and
increase wear and tear on the machine.
