Explanation of the symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Use spindle lock only in stand still mode.

Risk of fire

Keep bystanders away

Wear ear and eye protection

Wear protective gloves

Special safety instructions

• Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to the maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on the grinding disc.
• Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the machine.
• Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.
• Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier's instructions.

- Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.

• Do not use grinding discs for deburring.

- When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.

- Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged.

- Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds. Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the machine on again.

• Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable substances.

• Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away from the surface to be cut.

• Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.

- Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

- Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product and when they are required.

- If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.

- For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

- Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become nessesary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.

- Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the mains-impedance Z_max < 0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm ² . When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. ASSEMBLY

Before adjusting the machine, make sure the plug is removed from the socket.

Mounting grinding discs

Fig. B

Use grinding discs of the correct dimension. Use fibre reinforced grinding discs only. The grinding disc must not touch the edge of the guard.

• Press the spindle lock (6) and turn the spindle (9) until it engages in the lock. Keep the spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
• Remove the flange nut (12) from the spindle using the spanner (11).
• Position the grinding disc (7) on the flange (5).
• Place the flange nut on the spindle an tighten it using the spanner.
• Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is unlocked by rotating it.

Mounting the side handle

The side handle can be used for both left-hand and right-hand control.

DK

• Fasten the side handle (Fig. A-5) for left-hand operation on the right-hand side of the machine.
• Fasten the side handle for right-hand operation on the left-hand side of the machine.
• Fasten the side handle for upright working at the top of the machine.

Make sure that the side handle is fastened properly and cannot loosen unexpectedly.

4. USE

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Do not place the machine on the workpiece when switching the machine on or off. The grinding disc may damage the workpiece.

• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during the cutting activities.
• Hold the machine firmly and press it under an angle of approximately 15^irc against the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly across the workpiece.
• Regularly inspect the grinding disc. Worn grinding discs have a negative effect on the efficiency of the machine. Replace a grinding disc on time.
  • Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the wall socket.

Switching on and off

• This machine is equipped with a safety switch.
• The safety switch can only be operated by pushing the button forwards (to disengage) directly followed by pressing the button.

Before start working, the machine must be run according to the max. speed.

Operation

• Always put the angle grinder in zero load (without load) when you connect or disconnect.
• Always keep the mains lead away from moving parts.
- During the grinding you have to work under an angle between 10^irc and 15^irc , so that you get in touch with splashing sparks as few as possible.

During cutting between 30° and 45°.

- Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the mechanism.

Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.

Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
