even though the switch is turned off. Keep your hands well

Replacing a disc

CAUTION.

Switch off the grinder and disconnect it from

the power point.
1. Turn the angle grinder on to its back and press the

spindle lock button (2) and rotate the spindle until it locks.

2. Insert the pins of the wrench (7) into the holes in the

outer flange (8) and remove it and the old disc.

NOTE.

Do not remove the inner flange (10).

WARNING.

Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than

that of the Max no load speed shown on the rating plate.
3. Clean the flanges and check the new disc.
4. Holding the angle grinder with the spindle facing

upwards, check that the inner flange is on the spindle

and correctly located. The two machined flat sections

must face the angle grinder and locate in the appropriate

position on the spindle.

5. Place the disc onto the spindle

with the label facing the angle

grinder. The hole in the disc

should locate onto the spindle

and fit firmly into the spigot

section of the inner flange.

NOTE.

Depending on whether the disc has a flat inner

section or a depressed inner section, proceed as follows.
6. For discs with a flat inner

section, screw on the outer

flange (8) with the protruding

spigot section facing away

from the disc.

7. For discs with a depressed

inner section, screw on

the outer flange with the

protruding spigot section

facing the disc so that it

locates in the hole in the disc.

8. Hand tighten the outer flange

until the disc is secure.

9. Press the spindle lock button

and tighten the flange with the

wrench.

10. Turn the new disc by hand,

ensuring that it is tightly

secured and that it rotates fully

and does not wobble unduly.

11. Run the angle grinder under

no load for at least one

minute to ensure the new

disc is in good condition.

Make sure you are wearing

all the safety gear and that

you face the grinder away from you.

CAUTION.

Do not use excessive force to clamp the disc.

It could crack it and cause failure during use.

WARNING.

Do not immerse the disc into any type of

lubricant including water. This angle grinder is designed as

a dry grinder/cutter. Failure to observe this warning could

result in a fatal shock.
