OPERATION
WARNING:
!
This tool is equipped with a disc guard that is ONLY safe for
grinding operation. The guard is NOT safe for cutting operation. Using this tool for
cutting operation will create a hazard that can result in serious personal injury.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE DISC GUARD (See Figs. 2A, 2B, 2C)
Make sure the grinder is unplugged before making any adjustments.
For work with grinding discs, the disc guard must be mounted.
The projections on the disc guard (10) ensure that only a guard that fits this
angle grinder can be mounted. Loosen the Clamp Adjusting Nut (See Fig. 2A).
To install the guard align the guard projections with the matching grooves on the
spindle housing (See Fig. 2A). Push the guard down as far as it will go.
Rotate the guard to a working position (See Fig. 2B example).
NOTE: Working position is with the closed side of the guard toward the
operator and open side pointing directly away from the operator to provide
maximum protection against sparks and flying debris.
Tighten the Clamp Adjusting Nut (See Fig. 2C).
To Adjust Guard: loosen clamp adjusting nut, rotate guard to another working position,
and tighten nut.

OPERATION cont.
INSTALLING THE DISCS (See Figures 4A, 4B, 4C)
Clean the spindle, disc and inner and outer flange before installing disc.
The spindle must be locked into stationary position by means of the spindle lock
button (3) when clamping or loosening discs and outer flange. (See Fig. 5)
Put the inner flange onto the tool spindle. Ensure it is located on the two flats
of spindle. (See Fig. 4A)
Place the disc on the tool spindle and inner flange. Ensure it is correctly positioned
with the raised center portion resting on the inner flange. (See Fig. 4B)
Thread the outer flange onto the spindle by hand. Make sure the flange is facing in
the correct direction with the raised portion facing towards the disc (see Fig. 4B).
Press in the spindle lock button to prevent spindle rotation. Keeping the lock button
pressed in, use the provided spanner to tighten the outer flange onto the disc.
Insert the two protrusion tips of the spanner into two of the flange holes and turn
clockwise to tighten (See Fig. 4C). Release spindle lock button.
Note:
After installing disc and before turning tool on, check that the disc is securely
installed and that it turns freely. Make sure that the disc does not graze against the
guard or other tool parts.
