modate a wide variety of different accessories. Make sure
thecorrect sides of the flanges are being used ensuring no
excessive play between the accessory and the flanges.
Mounting
Place the inner flange (5) on the grinder spindle (7) (fig.
•
C1)
Place the wheel (14) against the flange. Screw the
•
threaded flange (6) onto the spindle (7). (fig. C2).
Make sure that the threaded outer flange (6) is facing in
•
the correct direction for the type of disc fitted. For
grindingdiscs, the flange (6) is fitted with the raised
portion facing towards the disc (fig. C3). For cutting
discs, the flange(6) is fitted with the inner portion facing
away from the disc (fig. C4).
Press in the spindle lock button (3) and rotate the
•
spindle until it locks. Keeping the lock button pressed
in, tightenthe threaded flange (6) with the spanner (15)
provided (fig. D)
Release the spindle lock.
•
Removing
Follow the procedure above in reverse order.
•
Fitting a Wire Cup Brush
Screw the wire cup brush directly onto the spindle
•
without using the inner and threaded flanges.
Mounting and Removing the Rubber Backing
Pad (Fig. D & E)
The rubber-backing pad is available as an option. The guard
is not required when using the tool for sanding with the
backing pad.
Mounting
Remove the guard from the tool.
•
Press the backing pad (16) onto the spindle (7). The
•
inner flange is not required (fig. E)
Position the abrasive disc (17) on the pad.
•
Screw the threaded flange (6) onto the spindle.
•
Press in the spindle lock button (3) and rotate
•
thespindle until it locks.
pressed in, tightenthe threaded flange (6) with the
spanner (15) provided (fig. D)
• Release the spindle lock.
Removing
Follow the procedure above in reverse order.
•
Mounting the Side Handle (Fig. F)
•
Screw the side handle (2) tightly into one of the three
holes (18) on the gear case.
Instruction for Use
Always observe the safety instructons and applicable
•
regulations.
Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are secured in
•
place.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Do not exert
•
side pressure on the grinding wheel or cutting disc.
Avoid overloading. Should the tool become hot, let it

Prior to Operation
• Install the appropriate guard and disc or wheel. Do not
use excessively worn discs or wheels.
• Be sure the inner and threaded flanges are mounted
correctly.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of
the arrows on the accessory and the tool.
Switching On And Off (Fig. A)
Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging in.
•
To run the tool, slide the ON/OFF switch (1) forward to
the "ON" position.
•
To stop the tool, slide the switch backwards to the
"OFF" position.
•
Always switch off the tool when work is finished and
before unplugging.
Do not switch the tool ON and OFF when under load.
Handy Hints (Fig. G)
•
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the body and
the other hand firmly around the side 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.
Grinding (Fig. H)
Use a depressed center Type 27 disc. Hold the tool at an
angle of approximately 20º-30º to work for grinding.
Wire Brushing
Use wire brushes to clean welds, metal corners, and angles,
and to remove paint.
Use a guard with wire brushes and wheels. Operators
and others in the area should wear appropriate eye, faceand
body protection. Strands of wire may break and fly off when
wire wheels and brushes are in use.
Sanding with Abrasive Discs (Fig. I)
When using an abrasive disc and rubber-backing pad, hold
the tool so that an angle of 5º to 15º exists between thedisc
and the work. Using an angle of 5º to 15º will allow you to
produce a smooth surface.
thesanding disc is pressed flat against the work, the sanding
action will be irregular and bumpy and the tool will be
difficultto control.
Edge Grinding and Cutting
Do not use edge grinding/ cutting wheels for surface
grinding applications because
notdesigned for side pressures encountered with surface
grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.
Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with type 27
wheels designed and specificed for this purpose. Protecty-
ourself during edge grinding and cutting by directing the
open side of the guard toward a surface. Edge grinding
andcutting wheels should contact the work surface only at
the edge of the wheel, not on the top or bottom of the
