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 (10) 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.
Lubrication
The grease in the gearbox will require replacement after extensive use of the tool. Please go to a qualified service agent to perform this service.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning
1.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag. Wear safety goggles or an eye shield and gloves whist cleaning.
3.
4.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight, particularly the outer flange. They may vibrate loose over time.
