IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Angle Grinder. Do not use the Angle Grinder while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Angle Grinder may result in serious personal injury. • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. • Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
You will need to select the appropriate disc depending on the type of material you are grinding. When grinding, do not force the Angle Grinder. The weight of the Angle Grinder itself should provide all the force that is required. If the tool slows significantly, lift it away from the surface to allow it to regain speed. Continuous use at lower speeds will result in permanent damage to your tool.
Attaching and removing the grinding disc provided 1. Inspect the grinding disc before fitting and during use to ensure it is not deformed or cracked. 2. Ensure that the guard is fitted in a position which ensures it is between you and the grinding disc. The guard is there to protect you from flying objects that may be dislodged at the work piece and from accidental contact of your hand, fingers or other part of your body with the disc. 3. Do not fit or use a grinding disc for cutting applications.
. If the outer flange is tight, depress the spindle lock button at the top of the gear box housing and rotate the spindle until it locks in position. Once the spindle is locked and cannot be rotated, use the pin wrench supplied to loosen the outer flange. Fig A 8. Remove the grinding disc from its envelope. 9. Hold the Angle Grinder with the spindle facing upwards and make sure that the inner flange is on the spindle and located correctly.
To reduce the risk of injury and to ensure maximum control during use, hold the tool with both hands while the tool is in operation. OPERATION: Operating the on/off switch 1.
