Assembly (pic. III) 1 Protection cover (WX 125 #58000 angular grinders only) The closed protection cover must be fitted for dividing. The open cover may be used for rough machining. 2 Clamping flange 3 Grinding wheel 4 Flange nut The appliance is ready to be operated after being assembled. Electrical connection The angle grinder has been designed for 230 V~50 Hz AC. To be plugged to outlets with grounding only! Working voltage: Make sure the working voltage specified on the type label matches the voltage of your power supply.

Grinding wheels Never use a wheel that is bigger than the allowed wheel diameter. The allowed wheel revolutions must always be checked before any assembly and use. Revolutions printed on the wheel must necessarily be higher than the idle speed of the angle grinder.

Let the grinder run idle for app. 1 minute before starting your work. Any unbalanced wheel must be immediately replaced! Fitting the flange at grinding or dividing wheels Centering flange Flange fitting at a grinding wheel with embedded or straight centre. (pic. V) Clamping flange Flange fitting at a dividing wheel with a straight centering flange. (pic. VI) Flange fitting at a dividing wheel with an embedded centering flange. (rotate the flange) (pic. VII) Work proposal/Roughing grinding Keep the wheel at 30° - 40° against the workpiece surface and grind with regular motions. Dividing grinding Do not rotate the angle grinder at the edge level when dividing. The dividing wheel must have a clean cutting edge.
