Setting up
Multi-position front handle
Screw the front handle (5) into the
most suitable mounting port (6)
(left side or right side) to suit the
application. Ensure that the handle
is fully screwed in place and firm.
Disc guard
WARNING. Switch off the grinder and disconnect it from the
power point.
NOTE. Grinding operations normally require the angle grinder
to be held with the grinding disc parallel to the plane of the
workpiece whilst cutting operations normally require the angle
grinder to be held with the cutting disc at right angles to the
workpiece. Take the time to find the best combination of front
handle and slimline handle positions to suit the task on hand. It
can make a considerable difference to the levels of convenience
and safety of operation.
1. Open the quick release guard lever (14).
2. Position the lug on the inside of the central guard ring in the
vertical slot in the spindle cover and press the guard onto the
spindle cover.
3. Twist the guard to the
appropriate position for either
grinding or cutting.
4. Lock the guard in position with
the quick release guard lever.
Operation
This angle grinder can be used for grinding and cutting steel,
stone or ceramic workpieces such as pipe, box section,
rectangular, angle iron steel bar,
house bricks and tiles. Do not
attempt to grind wood or a soft
metal such as lead. The material
will quickly “fill” the disc and render
it useless.
Before starting the grinder first
ensure that the disc, disc guard and
tool are in good condition.
Position the guard (4) as described in the disc guard section so
that it will deflect hot sparks away from the operator.
Switching on and off
1. Plug the power cord into the power point.
2. Start the tool by depressing the on/off trigger switch (1).
Release the trigger to stop the tool.
3. If you press the lock on button
(2) while the trigger switch is
depressed, the switch is kept in
the operating position. To release
the lock on button, press and
release the trigger switch.
4. Hold the grinder firmly while it
is switched on and only apply
gentle pressure to the workpiece.
Little more than the weight of the
tool should be applied to give the
best and most efficient material
removal. Forcing and excessive
pressure can cause dangerous
disc fracture or damage to
the tool. Hold the grinder at
approximately 15° to 30º to the
work and move slowly.
