General safety advice

DANGER OF LOSS OF LIFE AND ACCIDENT TO INFANTS AND CHILDREN!

Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging materials. Packaging materials present a suffocation hazard. Children often underestimate danger. Always keep the product out of reach of children. This product is not a toy.

• Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
  Store the product in dust-free and dry conditions.

To avoid danger to life from electric shock!

Ensure that the mains lead does not enter the working area of the disc or lie within range of flying sparks.
Always keep the angle grinder's mains lead in place using the clip 25 (see Fig. C).
Always pull your angle grinder's mains plug out of the mains socket before you carry out any cleaning or adjustment of your product.

Avoiding the danger of injury and/or damage to property!

While working with your angle grinder always wear protective glasses, hearing protection and

safety gloves, and if necessary a hairnet (with long hair) and a dust mask (depending on the materials being cut).

Do not wear loose clothing while you are working with your product.
Fasten the product through the fastening holes down on to a workbench / table. Ensure that the workbench / table and the product are stable.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various

operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Ensure that you do not come into contact with the cutting disc while working.

Always use the cutting disc safety guard 5.
Use this product only with angle grinders that have a suitable metal protective guard around the disc (see Fig. A).
Position this protective guard on the grinder in such a way that the lower part of the rotating cutting disc is uncovered and the grinder's protective guard cannot come into contact with the workpiece.

CAUTION! DANGER OF

FIRE! Cutting metal creates sparks. Ensure that there are no

ignitable materials in the working area.

Sparks can damage paint, glass and other surfaces. Do not wear clothing made of nylon or polyester; wear suitable, non-inflammable working clothes.
Ensure that the workpiece is held firmly in place and lies tightly against the base plate.
Do not use the product on workpieces that are too large, otherwise they cannot be held firmly in middle of the vice.
Check before and regularly during use that the screws, bolts and other fixings are firmly seated.
Check the product regularly for damage. Vibrations can loosen screws, bolts and other fixings during use.
- Never use your product if you discover that it is damaged in any way.
Ensure that the cutting disc of your angle grinder is mounted at right angles to the base plate.
Use cutting discs only and not roughing discs in this product.
Check the cutting disc of your angle grinder regularly for damage.
Never use a disc if you discover it has any dents, nicks or other damage. It could disintegrate.

Do not allow parts of your body to come within working range of the cutting disc until after it has come to a standstill.
When cutting follow the instructions of the manufacturers of the electrical power tool and the cutting disc.
Use angle grinders that have a cutting disc diameter of 115 or 125mm only.

Do not allow anyone else to come within the working range of the product while you are using it.

Grip the handle tightly when using the angle grinder and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
- Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
- When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
- Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

Assembly

CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Assemble and use the product on a fire-resistant surface only.

Follow these steps:

Fastenthesaddle 21 on to the base plate 20 with the hexagonal socket head screws 23 and washers 22 (see Fig. A).

Fastenthehandle 3 on to the mount 24 with the projecting screw thread and the corresponding nut (see Fig. A).

Note: Please bear in mind that the angle grinder must be fitted with a suitable cutting disc before assembly. It is not possible to change the disc with the angle grinder installed in the product.

Now prepare for mounting the angle grinder in the mount 24.

Note: At this point, first check the size of the handle thread of your angle grinder. It may be M6, M8 or M10.

Then place the corresponding mounting bolts, washers and matching nuts distance pieces and plastic bushings to one side, ready for use.

Insert the necessary plastic bushings into the mounting pieces (see Fig. B).

Note: Ensure that the size of the plastic bushings 6 matches the required mounting bolts 8. Plastic bushings are not required for mounting bolts M10 8.

Screw the matching mounting bolt through the rear mounting piece (see Fig. B).

Fasten the rear mounting piece 26 in place by tightening the corresponding size of nut 9 on the mounting bolt 8 (i.e. by turning it in the direction of the mounting piece 26) (see Fig.B).

Insert the adjustment screw 13 through the bottom hole and the adjustment screw 1 through the top hole of the mount 24 (see Fig. E). Note that later the rubber buffers of these screws must lie against the angle grinder housing.

Note: First insert these screws so that the rubber buffers lie directly against the mount 24.

Now push the plastic locating pieces 12 of the mounting pieces 11, 26 on to the guide of the mount 24 (see Fig. B).

Then attach the mounting pieces 11,26 through the plastic locating pieces 12 with the hexagonal socket head screws in the elongated holes in the mount 24 (see Fig. B).

Place the desired distance piece 10 on the mounting bolt 8 and washer 7 on to the front mounting piece 11 (see Fig. D).

Note: The three distance pieces are for choosing the most appropriate cutting depth. Note: Set the distance piece 10 so that the cutting disc cannot come into contact with the workbench / table below the base plate 20 (see Figure E).

Screw the matching mounting bolt through the front mounting piece.

Fasten the front mounting piece 11 in place by tightening the corresponding size of nut 9 on the mounting bolt 8 (i.e. by turning it in the direction of the mounting piece 11).

Now set the adjustment screws 1, 13 so that the angle grinder is aligned at right angles to the base plate 20 and firmly attached to the mount 24 (see Fig. E).

After slightly loosening the hexagonal socket head screws 23, adjust the saddle 21 so that the cutting disc of the angle grinder lowers into centre of the slot provided in the base plate 20.

Now attach the safety guard 5. To do this push the safety guard 5 on to the metal rod 2 and fasten it in place with the wing nut 4 (see Fig. C).

Now insert the metal rod 2 into the corresponding opening in the mount 24 and fasten it in place with the wing screw 27 (see Fig. C).

Always keep the angle grinder's mains lead in place using the clip 25.

After assembly is complete, switch the angle grinder on for a few seconds and then switch it off again. Check again that all the screws, bolts and fixings are firmly seated.

Operation

Adjust the guide bolts 16 for desired workpiece placement.

Place the workpiece on to the base plate 20 against the rear stop 18 and secure it by rotating rotary adjustment knob 14.

Note: Ensure that the workpiece lies against the base plate [20] (see Fig. E).

CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Ensure that the length of the workpiece is at least half the length of the stop [18], otherwise the workpiece may become loose and slide out.

Set the vice stops 17, 18 so that the workpiece lines up with the centre of the cutting disc.
Now switch on the angle grinder and press it down on to the workpiece.
Avoid any backwards movement and apply even pressure on the workpiece.
