of burrs from metal surfaces, weld surface processing, cutting
light-wall tubes and other small metal objects etc. They are used
in engineering industry, automotive and chemical industry. With
the use of proper tools, the angle grinder can be used not only
for cutting or grinding, but also for rust and paint coats removal.
The areas of its application include repair and construction works,
not only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be used for
cutting and grinding of construction materials, such as brick, paving
stones, ceramic tiles, etc.
The power tool is designed for dry operation only and it must
not be used for polishing. The power tool should be used
according to its purpose.
Use inconsistent with its purpose
• Do not work materials that contain asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work materials, whose dust is inflammable or
explosive. During operation, the power tool produces sparks, which
may ignite emitted vapours.
• Do not use cut-off wheels for grinding. The cut-off wheels are
used to cut with its face, while grinding with lateral surface of such
a cut-off wheel threatens with its damages and puts the operate in
danger of injuries.

PREPARATION FOR WORK
ATTACHING THE ADDITIONAL HANDLE
The additional handle (3) is installed in one of the holes in the
grinder head. It is recommended to use the grinder with the
additional handle. When holding the grinder with both hands (also
using the additional handle), there is less risk of touching the grinder
wheel or brush with your hand, as well as of injuries during recoil.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE GRINDING WHEEL GUARD
The wheel guard protects the operator against flying broken
pieces and accidental contact with a working tool or sparks. The
guard should always be fitted. Special attention should be paid
so that its covering part faces the operator.
The design of the wheel guard mounting allows for toolless setting
of the guard in an optimum position.
• Loosen and pull back the lever (10) on the wheel guard (4).
• Rotate the wheel guard (4) in a selected position.

• Lock by lowering the lever (10).
The removal and adjustment of the wheel guard are performed in a
reverse order to its installation.
REPLACEMENT OF WORKING TOOLS
When working tools are replaced, wear working gloves at all times.
The spindle lock button (1) is only designed to lock the grinder
spindle, when a working tool is installed or removed. Do not use
it as a braking button, when the wheel rotates. Otherwise, the
grinder may become damaged or the user may be injured.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
When grinding or cut-off wheels with the thickness below 3 mm
are installed, the outer flange nut (5) should be tightened with
the flat surface from the wheel side (fig. B).
• Press the spindle lock button (1).
• Insert the special key (included) into two holes of the outer flange
(5) (fig. A).
• Rotate the key to loosen and remove the outer flange (5).
• Place the wheel so it is pressed against the surface of the inner
flange (6).
• Tighten the outer flange (5) and slightly tighten it with the special key.
The wheel is removed in the reverse order. During installation, the
wheel should be pressed against the surface of the inner flange (6)
and seated centrally in the neck.
INSTALLING THE WORKING TOOLS WITH THREADED HOLES
• Press the spindle lock button (1).
• Remove a previously installed working tool, if it is installed.
• Both flanges should be removed before installation – the inner
flange (6) and outer flange (5).
• Put the threaded part of a working tool onto the spindle and
slightly tighten.
Working tools with threaded holes are removed in the reverse order.
INSTALLING THE ANGLE GRINDER ON A TRIPOD FOR ANGLE
GRINDERS
The angle grinder can be used on a dedicated tripod for angle
grinders, provided that it is correctly installed according to
instructions of the manufacturer of a tripod.
OPERATION / ADJUSTMENTS
Before the grinder is used, check condition of the grinding
wheel. Do not use chipped, broken or otherwise damaged
grinding wheels. Worn grinding wheel or brush should be
immediately replaced with new one before use. Once your work
is completed, you should switch off the grinder and wait until
it comes to a complete stop. Only then the grinder can be put
aside. Do not brake a rotating grinding wheel by pressing it
against a workpiece.
• Do not overload the grinder. The weight of the power tool
exerts sufficient pressure to efficiently work with the tool.
Overloading and excessive pressure may lead to dangerous
cracking of the working tool.
• If the grinder is dropped during operation, it should be
checked and a working tool might need to be replaced, when
it is damaged or deformed.
• Never strike the workpiece with a working tool.
• Do not use the grinding wheel for hammering or stripping
of the workpiece, especially when corners, sharp edges are
worked, etc. (this may cause loss of control of the power tool
and recoil).
• Do not use discs from circular saws intended for wood cutting.
Failure to observe this recommendation may result in recoil
of the power tool, loss of control and may lead to injuries of
the operator.
