The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion.
Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction!
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of the cut.
8. USING THE TURNING HANDLE (See Fig. G)
To best suit the different working positions, your angle
grinder is equipped with a turning handle.
Press the rear of the locking button on the turning handle
and you can rotate the handle 90º to left or right. Then
release the locking button. A click will be heard, when the
handle is then fully locked in place.
WARNING! Make sure the handle in the
locked position before start the angle
grinder.
Rotating the handle is permitted only in the
switched off condition.
9. TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES (NOT
SUPPLIED) (See Fig. H )
Remove the screws securing the motor brush cover (See
H). Remove the cover, gently lift out, and pull the spade
connector free. Hold back the coil spring and slide the worn
brush out of the housing, carefully release the spring. Locate
the replacement brush, (in the same orientation) whilst again
holding back the coil spring. Ensure the brush is located and
free to move, release the spring; it should now sit within the
groove on the brush. Re-attach the spade connector to the
terminal, replace the cover and secure.
NOTE: Brushes should be replaced in pairs. If
any query, contact the Helpline.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR GRINDER
1.
Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed
then start working.
2.
Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the Disc's
moving speed means longer working time.
3.
Always work with a 15º-30º angle between disc
and workpiece. Larger angles will cut ridges into the
workpiece and affect the surface finish. Move the angle
grinder across and back and forth over the workpiece.
4.
When using a cutting disc never change the cutting
angle otherwise you will stall the disc and angle grinder
motor or break the disc. When cutting, only cut in the
opposite direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in the
same direction as the disc rotation the disc may push
itself out of the cut slot.
EN
5.
When cutting very hard material best results can be
achieved with a diamond disc.
6.
When using a diamond disc it will become very hot. If
this happens you will See a full ring of sparks around
the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no
load speed for 2-3 minutes.
7.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may
See sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and
will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to
operate, if you do experience problems, please check the
following:
1.
If your grinder will not operate check the power at the
main plug.
2.
If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check that
outer flange is tight, check that the wheel is correctly
located on the flange plate.
3.
If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged
do not use as the damaged wheel may disintegrate,
remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old
wheels sensibly.
4.
If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the wheel
will soon become clogged and will not grind effectively.
