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.
e. 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.
f.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
RESIDUAL RISKS
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These are:
f Impairment of hearing.
f Risk of personal injury due flying particles.
f Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during
operation.
f Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
f Risk of dust from hazardous substances.

ASSEMBLY
Warning! To prevent accidental operation, turn
off and unplug tool before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
Attaching the wheel guard (Fig. B)
Warning! Never grind or brush without guard in place.
f Place the tool on a table, with the spindle (9) facing up.
f Place the spring washer (8) over the spindle and
locate it on the shoulder (10).
f Place the guard (5) onto the tool as shown.
f Place the flange (7) over the spindle with the
protruding pips towards the guard. Make sure that the
holes in the flange align with the screw holes.
f Secure the flange with the screws (6). Make sure that
the screws are fully tight and that the guard can be
rotated.
Removing the wheel guard - for sanding only (Fig. C)
Caution! To prevent loss of control, do not set tool down
until accessory has completely stopped turning. This tool
is fitted with a guard. For sanding only, you can remove the
guard as follows:
f Remove the outer flange, disc and inner flange if they
have been attached.
f Use a screwdriver to remove the screws (6).
f Remove the flange (7), guard (5) and spring washer
(8). Store these parts carefully.
Adjusting the guard
The guard can be rotated 90°.
f Rotate the guard as required.
Fitting the side handle
f A three position auxiliary handle (3) is furnished with
your grinder and can be screwed into either side of the
grinder housing as well as into the top.
Warning! This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL
TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool. Always
make sure the handle is tight.
Fitting and removing depressed center wheels
(Fig. D, E y F)
Caution! Never use any depressed-center wheels
without the proper guard.
f Fit the guard as described above.
f Place the inner flange (11) onto the spindle (9), as
shown (Fig. D). Make sure that the flange is correctly
located on the flat sides of the spindle.
f Place the disc (12) onto the spindle (9), as shown
(Fig. D). If the disc has a raised center (13), make sure
that the raised center faces the inner flange.
f Make sure that the disc locates correctly on the inner
flange.
f Place the outer flange (14) onto the spindle. When
fitting a grinding disc, the raised center on the outer
flange must face towards the disc (A in Fig. E). When
fitting a cutting disc, the raised center on the outer
flange must face away from the disc (B in Fig. E).
f Keep the spindle lock (4) depressed and tighten the
outer flange using the two-pin spanner (15)(Fig. F).
f When using a depressed-center wheel, hold the tool
so that an angle of approximately 30° exists between
the wheel and the work.
f When using ready-mount or hubbed wheels, flanges
are not required.
Warning! Check rated speed on depressed-center
wheel. Never use a wheel with rated speed lower than the
speed on the nameplate of the tool.
Edge grinding
Edge grinding may be done with Type 27 depressed center
wheels specifically designed for this purpose. These
wheels are available locally. They must not be subject to
side pressure.
