7 ASSEMBLY / MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Prior to mounting/dismounting an accessory always unplug the tool.
7.1 Mounting / adjusting / removing the guard
The safety guard of your POWXQ angle grinder is equipped with a quick clamp system,
allowing you to mount, move or remove the guard without tools.
Warning: Never operate the angle grinder without the safety guard properly
mounted and locked.
7.1.1 Mounting/installing the guard. (Fig 1)
 Make sure the quick clamp is in its open position.
 Position the guard on the guard basis. Please notice the notch on the inside of the guard
ring coincides with the foreseen cut out in the guard basis.
 Turn the guard in the desired position and tighten it by locking the clamp. (if the clamp is
not tight enough, open it again, tighten the nut using a spanner, then lock the clamp again)
7.1.2 Repositioning (turn) / removing the guard
 To reposition/turn the guard, release the quick clamp, turn the guard, and retighten the
clamp.
 To remove the guard: if installed, first remove the mounted disc, then work in the opposite
as described above under mounting/installing the guard.
7.2 Installing / replacing the grinding wheel (fig 2)
Prior to mounting/dismounting an accessory always unplug the tool.
Only Use discs of the correct dimension and of good quality. (Use fiber-reinforced
cutting/grinding discs (for stone-metal) or diamond disc (for stone) only).
The grinding disc may not touch the edge of the guard.
 Press the spindle lock (fig A, n° 5) and turn the spindle until it engages in the lock. Keep
the spindle lock pressed during this procedure.
 Loosen and remove the flange nut from the spindle using the spanner.
 Position the disc on the flange.
 Place the flange nut on the spindle and tighten using the spanner.
 Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is unlocked by rotating it.
 Make sure the disc is installed in the correct way (direction of rotation)
Important! Never press the spindle lock before the motor and disc have come
to a complete standstill!
Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor. It will break.
For grinding/cutting discs up to approx. 3 mm thick, screw on the flange nut with the flat side
facing the grinding or cutting wheel. (Fig 3)
