Fitting the auxiliary handle
WARNING: To ensure operator safety, ALWAYS use the Auxiliary Handle (7).
Install it at the most appropriate position for the individual task.
1. Screw the Auxiliary Handle clockwise into one of the two mounting points of
the gear housing. Tighten by hand (Image A)
Note: The auxiliary handle can be mounted to the left or right hand side of
the gear housing.
2. To remove the handle, unscrew anti-clockwise
Adjusting, removing and installing the wheel
guards
WARNING: The correct guard MUST be installed for each application before
operation commences. This is a legal requirement.
WARNING: NEVER install a cutting disc or superabrasive cutting wheel without
the correct cutting wheel guard (optional accessory) in place.
Note: The guard must be adjusted so that it is situated between the disc and
the operator. Reset the guard if the work angle or the position of the operator
changes. Seek professional guidance if you are unsure how to operate the
guards or any other safety features of the machine correctly.
Adjusting the grinding guard
Note: The grinding guard can be moved through a range of approximately 90°
so that it can be placed between the disc and the operator at any required
work angle.
1. Loosen the clamping mechanism of the Grinding Guard (7)
2. Move the grinding guard into a position where it is located between the disc
and the operator at the work angle to be used
3. Tighten the clamping mechanism of the grinding guard
Fitting a grinding or cutting disc
Note: Ensure the correct guard is installed for the disc.
1. Ensure the Inner Flange (3) is in place on the Spindle (1) and positively
engaged
2. Place the cutting or grinding disc onto the Inner Flange
Note: If using depressed centre discs, ensure that the depression is positioned
towards the Inner Flange.

3. Screw the Threaded Flange (2) onto the Spindle (1). The raised centre of the
Threaded Flange should face towards the disc when installing a grinding
disc, and away when installing a cutting disc
4. Depress the Spindle Lock Button (4) and rotate the Spindle until the lock
engages
5. The supplied Pin Spanner can now be used to fully tighten the Threaded
Flange. When tight, release the Spindle Lock Button. The grinder is now
ready for use
6. Remove a disc by depressing the Spindle Lock Button, then rotate the
spindle until the lock engages, and use the Pin Spanner to remove the
Threaded Flange
Fitting a wire cup brush
Note: When using the angle grinder with wire cup brushes, it may be
beneficial to fit the grinding guard and rotate beneath the Auxiliary Handle (6)
purely for the benefit of protecting the operator's hand. This will depend on the
design of the wire cup brush and the operation being performed.
1. Remove the Threaded Flange (2), grinding disc (if installed) and Inner Flange
(3) from the Spindle (1)
2. Screw the cup brush directly onto the Spindle
3. Depress the Spindle Lock Button (4) and rotate the Spindle until the lock
engages
4. Tighten the cup brush with a suitable spanner. Release the Spindle Lock
Button. The machine is now ready for use (Image B)
5. To remove a cup brush, depress the Spindle Lock Button, rotate the Spindle
until the lock engages, then use a suitable spanner to remove the cup brush
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and
hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching ON & OFF
Note: Do not switch the machine ON/OFF when the disc is in contact with the
workpiece. Always allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying the
load, and to stop completely before placing the grinder down. Always hold the
machine securely, using both hands, on the handles provided
WARNING: Switching OFF the angle grinder under load will significantly
reduce the service life of the ON/OFF Slider Switch (5).
1. To start the machine, grip the Rear Handle (6) and Auxiliary Handle (7) firmly
2. Push the ON/OFF Slider Switch (5) forward into the '1' position, to start
the machine
3. Stop the machine by releasing the ON/OFF Switch
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone
and metal grinding discs are not interchangeable. Use the correct disc for
the application
• When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30° to the workpiece
surface (Image C)
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding.
Excessive pressure does not result in more effective removal of material, but
will in fact cause premature wear of the grinding disc and will increase wear
and tear on the machine.
Cutting
WARNING: Always ensure the correct guard (optional accessory) for use with
cutting discs or superabrasive wheels is installed.
Note: This machine is not designed for wet cutting.
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and
metal cutting discs are not interchangeable. Use the correct disc for the
application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and
produce projectiles that could injure the operator and/or bystanders
