properly attached.
- Place the grinding wheel on the support flange (3).
The grinding wheel must lay flat on the supporting
flange. The metal flange on the cut-off wheel must
lay flat on the support flange.
Note: The support flange (3) is secured to prevent it
from falling off. To remove: use some force if
necessary.
7.3 Securing/releasing the (tool-free)
clamping nut (depending on features)
Only tighten the (tool-free) clamping nut (2)
manually.
For the machine to operate, the clip (1) must
always lie flat on clamping nut (2) .
To secure the (tool-free) clamping nut (2):
Do not use the (tool-free) clamping nut if the
accessory has a clamping shank thicker than 6
mm! In this case, use the clamping nut (17) with 2-
hole spanner (18).
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 7.1).
- Flip up the clip (1) on the clamping nut.
- Fit the clamping nut (2) on the spindle (4). See
illustration on page 2.
- (1)Tighten the clamping nut on the clip manually
in a clockwise direction.

To release the (tool-free) clamping nut (2) :
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 7.1).
- Flip up the clip (1) on the clamping nut.
- Unscrew the clamping nut (2) , turning it
anticlockwise manually .
Note: If the clamping nut is very tightly secured (2),
you can also use a 2-hole spanner to unscrew it.
7.4 Securing/releasing the clamping nut
(depending on features)
Securing the clamping nut (17):
The 2 sides of the clamping nut are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle as follows:
See illustration D on page 2.
- A) For thin grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (17) faces upwards
so that the thin grinding wheel can be attached
securely.
B) For thick grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (17) faces
downwards so that the clamping nut can be
attached securely to the spindle.
- Lock the spindle. Turn the clamping nut (17)
clockwise using the 2-hole spanner (18) to
secure.
Releasing the clamping nut:
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 7.1). Turn the
