REMEMBER:
Comply with all safety precautions and
instructions when using your BluCave products.
When in doubt always ask for advice.
•
• Always wear protective clothing.
• Always work in an uncluttered environment.
TIPS:
Allow the disc to reach full speed before making
contact with the work surface. Control the
pressure and surface contact between the
grinding disc and your work piece to ensure
optimum disc speed. Grinding flat surfaces are
usually done on an acute angle. Too great an
angle causes concentration of pressure on a small
area which may gouge or burn the surface of your
work piece.

particles.
After working with materials that produce fine particles
such as dust from bricks or metal filings always allow
the Angle Grinder to run with no load in a dust free
environment. This will help to clear particles from the
internal parts. It is recommended to flow compressed
air through the air vents to further assist this process.
Regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth to
ensure the Angle Grinder does not become slippery or
excessively dirty.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
LUBRICATION
A lubricant has been applied to the gear box that will
last the life of the tool. You are not required to lubricate
the tool during its normal working life.

The Angle Grinder comes with two 40mm flanges that
are used to clamp a wide variety of accessories. The
fitting of the flanges is extremely important.
Note: The direction of the clamp nut will change for
cutting or grinding.
Caution: Always inspect the grinding wheel, cutting disc
or accessory before use. Do not use chipped, cracked
or otherwise defective parts.
Position the inner flange (which has no thread) onto the
spindle. Locate the two flats, with the two flat sections
on the spindle. See Fig.3.
Position the disc/wheel onto the spindle against the
inner flange with the disc/wheel label facing toward
the grinder. The hole in the disc/wheel should fit neatly
over the raised circular section of the inner flange.
