Never attempt to remove the guard.

Mounting and removing the wheel disc
(Fig. B)

• Always use suitable wheel disc for this

machine with diameter Ø 100 / 115 / 125 mm
and a bore from 16 / 22 / 22 mm the thickness
of the wheel disc should be 6 mm for wheel
disc for grinding and 3 mm for wheel disc
for cutting, the mounting wheel disc may not
touch the safety guard.

Mounting

• Place the machine on a table with the

protection guard (3) facing upwards.

•   Mount the flange (9) onto the spindle (8).
•   Place the wheel disc (10) onto the spindle (8).
•   Keep the spindle lock button (1) pressed and

firmly tighten the clamping nut (11) onto the
spindle (8) by using the spanner (12).

Removing

• Place the machine on a table with the

protection guard (3) facing upwards.

• Keep the spindle lock button (1) pressed and

loosen the clamping nut (11) using the spanner
(12).

• Remove the wheel disc (10) from the spindle (8).
• Keep the spindle lock button (1) pressed and

firmly tighten the clamping nut (11) using the
spanner (12).

3. OPERATING

Make sure that the work piece is properly
supported or fixed and keep the supply
cord routing away from the work area.

Switching on and off (Fig. A)

• To switch the machine on, press the On/off

switch (2).

• To switch the machine off, release the On/off

switch (2).

Hold the machine away from the work piece when
turning it on and off because the wheel disc could
damage the work piece.
• Clamp the work piece firmly or use another

method to ensure that it cannot move while
working.

• Check the discs regularly. Worn wheel discs

have a negative effect on the machine’s efficien-
cy. Change to a new wheel disc in good time.

• Always first turn the machine off after use

before removing the plug from the socket.

Deburring (Fig. C)

An angle of inclination of 30º to 40º will give the
best results when deburring. Move the machine
back and forth using light pressure. This will
prevent the work piece from discolouring or
becoming too hot and will avoid making groves.

Never use abrasive cutting discs for
deburring work!

Cutting (Fig. D)

For cutting, a special protection guard must be
used (not included).
Maintain firm contact with the work piece to
prevent vibration and do not tilt or apply pressure
and when cutting. Use moderate pressure when
working, appropriate to the material that is
being worked on. Do not slow down wheel discs
by applying sideways counter pressure. The
direction in which you want to cut is important.
The machine must always work against the
direction of the cut; so never move the machine
in the other direction! There is the risk that the
machine will catch in the cut causing kickback
and that you will lose control.

Hints for optimum use

• Clamp the work piece. Use a clamping device

for small work pieces.

•   Hold the machine with both hands.
•   Switch on the machine.
•   Wait until the machine has reached full speed.
•   Place the wheel disc on the work piece.
•   Slowly move the machine along the work

piece, firmly pressing the wheel disc against
the work piece.

• Do not apply too much pressure on the

machine. Let the machine do the work.

• Switch off the machine and wait for the

machine to come to a complete standstill
before putting the machine down.
