 Inspect discs regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on efficiency of the machine
and may cause severe injury to user or damage to surrounding. Replace the grinding disc
on time.
7.2.1 Test run for new grinding wheels
When starting the tool, hold the tool in a well protected area and allow the angle grinder to
reach idle speed with the grinding/cutting disc fitted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be
replaced immediately.
7.3 Carbon brushes (fig 4)
Carbon brushes that are burned, broken or shorter than 5 mm are to be replaced by original
replacement brushes. Always replace the carbon brushes in pairs.
Your POWXQ angle grinder allows easy access to the cole brush. Remove the external brush
caps on either side of the machine using a Phillips (cross) screw driver
Move the spring, holding the cole brush aside, remove the wire connector and pull out the cole,
install the new one (don’t forget to reposition the spring) and close the brush caps again.
Let the machine run freely without load for a while, allowing the coles to fit right (sparking may
occur, but is not harmful and will disappear after a while)
If you are not confident to perform this by yourselves, ask a qualified person to do it for you.
7.4 Mounting the side handle (Fig 5)
The side handle can be used for both left-hand and right-hand control.
 Fasten the side handle for left-hand operation on the right-hand side of the machine.
 Fasten the side handle for right-hand operation on the left-hand side of the machine.
 Fasten the side handle for upright working at the top of the machine.
Make sure that the side handle is fastened properly and cannot loosen
unexpectedly.
8 OPERATION
8.1 Pay special attention when starting the machine
 Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the
machine during the cutting activities.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stand.
 Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine to avoid cutting the electric
cable.
 Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.
 Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on and when it has reached full
speed.
 When cutting into walls! Make sure to avoid hidden electrical wiring (electric shock!) or
pipes (water, gas...).
 Make sure the grinding/cutting disc is not contacting the work piece before the switch is
turned on.
 Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.
