5. Replace upper spindle nut. Flange of upper spindle nut should be facing downward so that it seats itself in the center reinforcement hub on the grinding disc.
6. Push in spindle lock button (located on the back side of the metal gear hous- ing) and simultaneously tighten spindle nut with spanner wrench. Be sure to tighten nut securely.
You are now ready to begin operation of your Angle Grinder.

Evenly and carefully, lower grinding disc surface to |
| |
| material surface. Do not apply excessive pressure. |
|
| Forcing the grinder down against your work surface |
|
| puts unnecessary strain on the motor and will likely |
|

TECHNICAL TIPS
GRINDING
Always use side/top mount handle for control. Move the grinder back and forth in sweeping strokes. Too much pressure, the wrong angle or improper motion may cause burning. Be aware of your material’s reaction to the grinding disc. Some materials may throw excessive sparks; some materials may conduct extreme heat from the point of contact.
Avoid unnecessary risks by staying alert and attentive at all times.
CUTTING
Always use side/top mount handle for control. Make sure your cutting disc is rated for AT LEAST 11,000 RPM. Pull trigger switch and carefully apply cutting blade edge to material to be cut. As with grinding, too much pressure, the wrong angle or improper motion may cause burning. Be aware of your material’s reaction to the cutting disc. Some materials may throw excessive sparks; some materials may conduct extreme heat from the point of contact. Avoid unnecessary risks by staying alert and attentive at all times.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, keep the cord away from the path of the grinder. Otherwise the cord may be caught by the disc; this may sever the cord and expose live wires or make the gear box electrically “live.”
