Fitting the Abrasive Tools
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Clean the grinding spindle (15) and all the parts to be fitted.
Lock the grinding spindle with the spindle lock button (3)
before clamping and releasing the abrasive tools.
Do not press the spindle lock button while the grind-
u
ing spindle is moving. The power tool may become dam-
aged if you do this.
Grinding/Cutting Disc
Pay attention to the dimensions of the grinding tools. The
mounting hole diameter must fit the mounting flange without
play. Do not use reducers or adapters.
When using diamond cutting discs, pay attention that the
direction-of-rotation arrow on the diamond cutting disc and
the direction of rotation of the machine (see direction-of-ro-
tation arrow on the machine head) agree.
See graphics page for the mounting sequence.
To fasten the grinding/cutting disc, screw on the clamping
nut (11) and tighten with the two-hole spanner.
After fitting the abrasive tool, check that the abrasive
u
tool is fitted correctly and can turn freely before
