SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. Use a Residual Circuit Breaker on all 230V Power tools. This can help
minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.
g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully un-
wound and that its length is less than 30 m. Lengths over 30 m will effect
the tools performance as a result of voltage drop.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfam iliar wit h t he p ower tool or these in st ruction s to opera te
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h.Never use cutting discs for rough grinding. Do not exert any lateral
pressure on cutting disc.
i. Do not clamp the machine in a vice.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
Safety Instructions identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

mum overloading, maintain an angle between
the disc and work surface of approximately 15º–
30º when grinding and 10º–15º when sanding.
Exert light pressure on abrasive discs for efficient operation. Pushing too hard will cause a
drop in speed and may result in motor overload
and damage.
Use caution when working into corners as contact with the intersecting surface may cause the
grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the work piece
to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
7. REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES
(See Fig. 6)
Disconnect the plug from the power supply. Unscrew the retaining screw of the carbon brush
cover plate (9) and take it out. Loosen the fixing screw on the brush support and remove
it. Check the length of the brush and replace if
under 7 mm. When brushes need replacement
always renew both brushes, even if one is more
than 7 mm. Set the brush support into the body.
Secure the brush support screw. Replace the
carbon brush cover and insert and tighten the
retaining screw.
Check the tool is working before use, allow it run
for a few minutes to enable the brushes to settle.
For replacement carbon brush call the helpline
number at the front of this instruction booklet.
8. 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.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run your
angle grinder under no load for 2–3 minutes until
it has cooled to normal operation temperature.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER
1. Your angle grinder is useful for both cutting
through metals, i.e. for removing screw heads,
and also for cleaning / preparing surfaces, i.e.
before and after welding operations.
2. Different types of wheel/cutter will allow
the grinder to meet various needs. Typically,
grinding wheels and cutting discs are available for mild steel, stainless steel, stone and
brick. Diamond impregnated discs are available for very hard materials.
3. If the grinder is used on soft metals such as
aluminum the wheel will soon clog and will
have to be changed.
4. At all times, let the grinder do the work, do
not force it or apply excessive pressure to the
wheel/disc.
5. If cutting a slot ensure that the cutter is kept
aligned with the slot, twisting the cutter may
cause the disc to shatter. If cutting through
thin sheet, only allow the cutter to just project
through the material, excessive penetration
can increase the chance of causing damage.
6. If cutting stone or brick, it is advisable to use
a dust extractor.
7. If cutting a slot in stone or brick it is advisable
to use a diamond cutting disc.
MAINTENANCE
W A R N I N G : Ensure the grinder is discon-
nected from the mains power supply be-
fore attempting any maintenance.
1. Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and
free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed air into the vents to clear any internal
dust (safety goggles must be worn when undertaking this process).
2. Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and
free from grease. Do not wash with water or
use solvents or abrasive. Use only a damp
cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
Page 14
12
inside the tool. Never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
3. Your angle grinder requires no additional lubrication. With the exception of the carbon
brushes, there are no user serviceable parts
in your power tool.
4. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
5. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very
simple to operate, if you do experience problems, please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the power at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates,
check that outer flange is tight, check that the
wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged do not use as the damaged wheel may
disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new
wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
