Removing The Guard; Soft Start - Worx WX22AG Manual Original

(working position).
To fasten the wheel guard (14), close the
clamping lever (8).
The closed side of the wheel guard (14)
must always point to the operator.
NOTE: with the clamping lever (8) open the
clamp adjusting nut (9) can be adjusted to
ensure the guard is securely clamped after the
clamping lever (8) is finally closed.
Wheel Guard for Cutting
WARNING! For cutting metal, always
work with the wheel guard for cutting.
The wheel guard for cutting (15) is mounted in the
same manner as the wheel guard for grinding.

8. REMOVING THE GUARD

Never remove your guard for any other
working conditions. To remove, first take
off the disc and both flanges. Then open the
clamping lever (8) and rotate the guard to
align the projections with the gear case cut
outs, then remove the guard. To re-fit the
guard, repeat this process in reverse. Keep all
parts in a safe place.

9. SOFT START

Internal electronic components allow the
motor speed to increase slowly, which reduces
the"twisting"effect on your wrists due to the
high power motor.
10. ROTATING THE GEAR CASE
For special working situations, the gear
case can be rotated 90o to improve working
comfort and safety. First, disconnect from the
mains supply then remove the disc and guard.
Remove the 4 x screws from the gear case
(See Fig.G). Carefully rotate the gear case in
your desired direction but do NOT pull the
gear case out of the housing. If the gear case
comes out of the housing the motor carbon
brushes will need replacing.
11. TO USE THE GRINDER
ATTENTION: Do not switch the
grinder on whilst the disc is in
contact with the workpiece. Allow the
disc to reach full speed before starting
to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the
Angle grinder
main handle and other hand firmly around the
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of
the exposed disc as possible is pointing away
from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the
disc touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal
and minimum overloading, maintain an
angle between the disc and work surface of
approximately 15 -30
O
Use caution when working into corners as
contact with the intersecting surface may
cause the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the workpiece
to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
12. CUTTING
WARNING! For cutting metal, always
work with the wheel guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the
machine. Work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down
cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed
is important.
The machine must always work in an up-
grinding motion. Therefore, never move the
machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the
danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of the cut.
13. BRUSH WEAR INDICATOR (WX22AG
WX23AG WX23AG.2) (See Fig. H)
Your angle grinder is fitted with an automatic
brush wear indicator. A green led indicates
that the brush condition is normal. A red led
indicates that the brush is coming to the end
of its useful life and should be replaced as
soon as possible.
14. AUTO-STOP CARBON BRUSH (ONLY
FOR WX23AG.1) (See Fig. I1)
When the resin insulating tip (17) inside the
carbon brush (18) is exposed to contact the
commutator (16), it will automatically shut
off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes should be replaced. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
when grinding.
