Adjusting the Guard
The guard can be rotated 90°.
• Rotate the guard as required.
Fitting the Side Handle
•A three position auxiliary handle (4) is furnished with your grinder and can be screwed into either side of the grinder housing as well as into the top.
WARNING: This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool. Always make sure the handle is tight.

•Fit the guard as described above.
•Place the inner flange (11) onto the spindle (7) as shown (fig. 4). Make sure that the flange is correctly located on the flat sides of the spindle.
•Place the disc (12) onto the spindle (7) as shown (fig. 4). If the disc has a raised center (13), make sure that the raised center faces the inner flange.
•Make sure that the disc locates correctly on the inner flange.
•Place the outer flange (14) onto the spindle. When fitting a grinding disc, the raised center on the outer flange must face towards the disc (A in fig. 5). When fitting a cutting disc, the raised center on the outer flange must face away from the disc (B in fig. 5).

Fitting Wire Cup Brushes & Stringer Bead/Cable Twist Brushes
Wire brushes screw directly on the spindle of the machine without the use of flanges. When using wire brushes, thread firmly on spindle by hand.
Fitting Abrasive Discs
Use an abrasive disc with a backing pad for sanding with your angle grinder.
•Remove the guard.
•Place the flange, (backing pad and abrasive disc sold separately) and outer flange on the spindle as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7A shows how to attach an abrasive disc with a rubber backing pad.
•Tighten the abrasive disc as shown in Figure 8 by depressing the spindle lock button and turning the abrasive disc by hand.
OPERATION
WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Switching On and Off
•To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
•For continuous operation, press the
•To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch. To switch the tool off in continuous operation, press the on/off switch once more and release it.
WARNING: Do not switch the tool off while under load.
Overload
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle grinder. This can happen if your angle grinder is subjected to heavy use for prolonged periods of time. Do not in any circumstances, attempt to exert too much pressure on your angle grinder to speed up your work. The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your angle grinder.
SANDING
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
•Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
•Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
•No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all cleanup is completed.
•Adustmask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE: Only those dustmasks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the NIOSH approved proper mask.
Environmental Safety
•Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
•Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
•Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Helpful Hints
•Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the body and the other hand firmly around the side handle as shown in Figure 9.
•Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
•Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.
•Maintain an angle between the disc and work surface (Fig. 10) of approximately 30° when grinding and
CAUTION: Use extra care when grinding into a corner as a sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be experienced when the wheel contacts a secondary surface.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary maintenance procedure.
CAUTION: Dust and grit from metal grinding often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not cleaned out.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
Lubrication
Black & Decker tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be lubricated regularly every year depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should be attempted only by trained power tool repairperson's such as those at Black & Decker service centers or in other qualified service personnel.
