Setting up

Multi-position auxiliary handle

 

1. Screw the multi-position

 

A

auxiliary handle (8) into the

most suitable mounting point

 

(5) (top, left side or right side)

 

to suit the planned operation.

 

(Fig. A)

 

2. Press the rotating handle

 

release button (10) and turn

 

the rotating handle (9) to suit

 

the planned operation. (Fig. B)

NOTE. The rear handle (9) can

 

be rotated to the left or right. It

 

must be “locked” into one of the

 

three preset positions: central,

 

90° to the left or 90° to the

 

right. It must not be used at any

 

position in between these three

 

preset positions as it might rotate

 

during use and create a hazard.

 

NOTE. Grinding operations normally require the angle grinder to be held with the grinding disc at an angle of 20° to 30° between the tool and the plane of the workpiece whilst cutting operations normally require the angle grinder to held with the cutting disc at right angles to the workpiece. Take the time to find the best combination of auxiliary handle and rotating handle positions to suit the task on hand. It can make a considerable difference to the levels of convenience and safety of operation.

WARNING. Switch off the

 

grinder and disconnect it from

 

the power point.

 

NOTE. Grinding operations

 

normally require the angle

 

grinder to be held with the

 

grinding disc parallel to the plane

 

of the workpiece whilst cutting

 

D

operations normally require the

angle grinder to be held with

 

the cutting disc at right angles

 

to the workpiece. Take the time

 

to find the best combination of

 

front handle and slimline handle

 

positions to suit the task on hand.

 

It can make a considerable

 

 

difference to the levels of

E

convenience and safety of

 

operation.

 

1.Open the quick release guard lever (4). (Fig. C)

2.Position the two lugs on the inside of the central guard ring in the vertical slot in the spindle cover and press the

guard onto the spindle cover. (Fig. D)

3.Twist the guard to the appropriate position for either grinding or cutting. (Fig. E)

4.Lock the guard in position with the quick release guard lever. (Fig. C)

Operation

LED Overload protection system

Overloading the tool means the tool is being leaned on excessively during use, slowing down the speed of the tool. As a result of the motor slowing down, the internal fan does not work to its full capacity.

The LED Overload protection system (16) will alert you when it is overloading.

The grinder will warn you when you are approaching overload by flashing the Yellow light.

If you continue to ignore the yellow light or do not see it, the red light will come on and the grinder will immediately come to a stop. When this occurs, wait a brief moment then restart the grinder, however, take additional care not to press on the tool too much.
