Setting up
Multi-position side handle
Screw the side handle (6) into the
most suitable mounting port (4)
(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 main
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 (11).
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 (3) 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 pushing
the on/off trigger switch (5)
forward up and over the
latching ramp to lock the
switch on.
3. 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.
4. Once the grinding or cutting is finished, push the back
section of the on/off switch (5) to stop the grinder.
