OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
1. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
A) CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
a) Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for
use with the equipment.
b) If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack
from the charger and allow time for the battery to cool down
before recharging.
c) The battery in your new tool is not charged when it leaves the
plant. Therefore it must be full charged before using the first
time.
d) Please charge the battery to reach full or no less than half charge
before storage. If the tool will not be used for long periods of
time, charge the battery every 3-6 months.
B) REMOVE OR INSERT BATTERY PACK (SEE FIG. A, B)
Press the battery pack release button and remove the battery pack
from the tool. After recharge slide the battery pack into tool's battery
port. A simple push and slight pressure will be sufficient.
OPERATING
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for cutting, roughing and brushing metal
and stone materials without using water. For cutting metal, a special
protection guard for cutting (accessory) must be used.
1. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING AUXILIARY HANDLE (SEE FIG. C)
You have the option of two working positions to provide the safest
and most comfortable control of your angle grinder. The handle can
be screwed clockwise into either hole on the sides of the gear case.
NOTE: This handle should be used at all times to maintain complete
control of the tool.
2. GUARD ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. D1-D3)
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery pack
from your tool.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the wheel guard must
be mounted.
Wheel guard for grinding
The coded projection on the wheel guard ensures that only a guard
that fits the machine type can be mounted.
Open the clamping lever. Place the wheel guard with coded
projection into the coded groove on the spindle of the machine head
and rotate to the required position (working position).
To fasten the wheel guard, close the clamping lever.
The closed side of the wheel guard must always point to the operator.
NOTE: With the clamping lever open the clamp adjusting nut can be
adjusted to ensure the guard is securely clamped after the clamping
lever is finally closed.
Wheel guard for cutting (not supplied)
WARNING: For cutting metal, always work with the wheel
guard for cutting.
The wheel guard for cutting is mounted in the same manner
as the wheel guard for grinding.
3. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON (SEE FIG. E)
Clean the grinder spindle and all parts to be mounted. For clamping
and loosening the grinding tools, lock the grinder spindle with the
12
spindle lock button.
WARNING: Actuate the spindle lock button only when
the grinder spindle is at a standstill!
4. FITTING THE DISCS (NOT SUPPLIED) (SEE FIG. F1-F3)
WARNING: Remove the battery before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Put the inner flange onto the tool spindle. Ensure it is located on the
two flats of spindle.
Place the disc on the tool spindle and inner flange. Ensure it is
correctly located. Fit the threaded outer flange making sure it is
facing in the correct direction for the type of disc fitted. For grinding
discs, the flange is fitted with the raised portion facing towards the
disc. For cutting discs, the flange is fitted with the raised portion
facing away from the disc.
Press in the spindle lock button and rotate the spindle by hand until
it is locked. Keeping the lock button pressed in, tighten the outer
flange with the spanner provided.
NOTE: After mounting the grinder tool and before switch on, check
that the grinding tool is correctly mounted and that it can be turn
freely, make sure that the grinding tool does not graze against the
protecting guard or other parts.
5. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always hold your angle grinder firmly with both hands when operating.
6. SLIDE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. G)
To start the power tool, first press the back of on/off switch, then
push the on/off switch forward.
To lock the on/off switch, press the on/off switch down at the front
until it engages.
To switch off the power tool, briefly press down the back of the on/
off switch and then release it.
7. REMOVING THE GUARD
Never remove your guard for any other working conditions. To
remove, first take off the disc and both flanges. Then open the
clamping lever and rotate the guard to align the projections with
the gear case cut outs, then remove the guard. To re-fit the guard,
repeat this process in reverse. Keep all parts in a safe place.
8. TO USE THE GRINDER (SEE FIG. H)
WARNING: Do not switch the grinder on while the disc is
in contact with the workpiece. Allow the disc to reach
full speed before starting grinding.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main handle and other
hand firmly around the auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as
possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimum overloading,
keep an angle between the disc and the workpiece surface at
approximately 15 to 30 when grinding.
o o
Use cautiously when working into corners as contacting with the
intersecting surface may cause the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete, allow the workpiece to cool. Do not
touch the hot surface.
9. CUTTING
WARNING! For cutting metal, always work with the
wheel guard for cutting (not supplied).
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the tool.
