2. Veiligheidsinstructies
Neem altijd de volgende veiligheidsmaatregelen in acht om elektrische schokken, brand en ernstig letsel te voorkomen.
- Veiligheid werkgebied: Houd de werkruimte schoon en goed verlicht. Rommelige of donkere ruimtes zijn een risico op ongelukken. Gebruik geen elektrisch gereedschap in explosieve atmosferen, zoals in de buurt van ontvlambare vloeistoffen, gassen of stof.
- Elektrische veiligheid: Stekkers van elektrisch gereedschap moeten in het stopcontact passen. Wijzig de stekker nooit op enigerlei wijze. Vermijd lichamelijk contact met geaarde oppervlakken zoals leidingen, radiatoren, fornuizen en koelkasten.
- Persoonlijke veiligheid: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating the tool. Wear a dust mask if operations create dust. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Gebruik en onderhoud van elektrisch gereedschap: Forceer het elektrische gereedschap niet. Gebruik het juiste elektrische gereedschap voor uw toepassing. Haal de stekker uit het stopcontact voordat u aanpassingen uitvoert, accessoires verwisselt of elektrisch gereedschap opbergt.
- Specific Angle Grinder Safety:
- Gebruik altijd de beschermkap die bij het gereedschap wordt geleverd.
- Ensure the grinding wheel is correctly mounted and tightened before use.
- Do not use damaged or incorrect accessories.
- Laat het gereedschap op volle snelheid komen voordat u het op het werkstuk aanbrengt.
- Wees u bewust van terugslag en hoe u dit kunt voorkomen.
3. Instellen
Before operating the angle grinder, ensure it is properly set up.
- Uitpakken: Carefully remove the angle grinder and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Do not use the tool if any part is damaged.
- De zijhandgreep bevestigen: The side handle can be screwed into either the left or right side of the gear housing, depending on user preference and application. Ensure it is securely tightened.
Refer to the product image for the typical placement of the side handle.
- Het monteren van de slijpschijf:
- Zorg ervoor dat het gereedschap losgekoppeld is van het stroomnet.
- Druk op de spindelvergrendelingsknop om de spindel vast te zetten.
- Plaats de binnenflens op de spindel.
- Position the grinding wheel (e.g., 125 mm abrasive wheel, Type 27) onto the inner flange, ensuring it sits flush.
- Screw the outer flange (clamping nut) onto the spindle.
- Use the spanner wrench to firmly tighten the outer flange while holding the spindle lock.
- De beschermkap afstellen: The protective guard must always be used. Adjust its position to provide maximum protection for the operator, directing sparks and debris away from the user. Loosen the guard's clamping screw, rotate the guard to the desired position, and then securely tighten the screw.
