ASSEMBLY
Be sure to disconnect the angle grinder from the power supply before attaching or removing
the disc or attachment. Make sure that a grinding or cutting disc is mounted with the label on
top or facing the angle grinder.
If you are fitting any other kind of attachment, refer to attachment fitting instructions. Incorrect
attachments can cause the motor to burn out, generally damaging the tool or causing injury.
Attaching and removing the grinding disc provided.
• Inspect the disc before fitting and during use to ensure it is not deformed or cracked.
• Ensure that the guard is fitted and at an angle which ensures it is between you and the
grinding disc. The guard is there to protect you from dislodging objects at the workpiece
and from accidental contact with the disc, of your hand, fingers or other parts of yourself.
• Do not fit or use a grinding disc for cutting applications. For cutting, use a cutting disc and
ask your hardware retailer for advice regarding the type of material you wish to cut.
Grinding discs are used for grinding metal only.
• The grinding disc provided is not solid. It is made from grit which is bonded together with
reinforcement and adhesives. It is always possible that a part of the disc can dislodge and
fly away from the tool at high speed. This is why you must wear the appropriate safety
equipment (glasses, gloves and protective clothing) described herein and follow all safety
instructions also described herein.
• Do not use any kind of attachment (discs or otherwise) that has a diameter of greater
1
than 4- / in.

• Remove the outside retaining flange by hand if loose. If tight, depress the spindle lock
button at the top of the gear box housing, rotate the spindle to locate the lock position.
Once the spindle is locked and cannot be rotated, use the wrench supplied to loosen the
retaining flange.
• Remove the grinding disc from its envelope.
• Holding the angle grinder with the spindle facing upwards, ensure the nonthreaded flange
is on the spindle and located correctly. The two machined flat sections on one side of the
nonthreaded flange must face the angle grinder and locate in the appropriate position on
the spindle.
• Insert the grinding disc onto the angle grinder spindle with the disc label facing the angle
grinder. The hole in the disc should be located onto the spindle. Ensure that the hole in the
disc locates and fits firmly into the ring section of the nonthreaded flange.
• Screw the threaded flange onto the spindle with the protruding ring section facing the
angle grinder. This ring section must locate with the hole in the grinding disc.
• Tighten the threaded flange by locking the spindle and tighten with the spanner provided.
• Removal of the disc is conducted in reverse order to the above.
• Regularly check that the disc retaining flange has not loosened during use.
NOTE: When fitting a cutting disc, the ring section on both flanges should face away from the disc.
