Changing the Cutting Disc (see figures B1 − B2)

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Do not activate the spindle lock (5) while the tool spindle (20) is moving. The power tool may become damaged if you do this.

Do not touch the cutting disc after use until it has cooled. The cutting disc becomes very hot during use.

Only use cutting discs that match the specifications given in this operating manual and that have been tested and marked in accordance with EN 12413.

Use any intermediate layers provided with the cutting disc.

Place unused cutting discs in an enclosed container or their original packaging. Store the cutting discs lying flat.

Removing the cutting disc

Bring the power tool into the work position.
Swivel the retracting blade guard (4) backwards as far as possible.
Turn the hexagon screw (23) using the hex key (12) provided while pressing the spindle lock (5) until it engages.
Hold the spindle lock down and unscrew the hexagon screw (23).
Remove the washer (22) and the clamping flange (21).
Remove the cutting disc (6).

If required, clean all the parts you want to fit before installing them.

Place the new cutting disc on the tool spindle (20) such that the sticker points away from the tool arm.
Fit the clamping flange (21), the washer (22) and the hexagon screw (23). Press the spindle lock (5) until it engages and retighten the hexagon screw (23) by turning it clockwise. (Tightening torque approx. 18–20 Nm)
Slowly guide the retracting blade guard (4) all the way down until the cutting disc is completely covered.
Make sure that the retracting blade guard (4) is working properly.

After fitting the cutting disc, check that the cutting disc is fitted correctly and can turn freely before switching on the power tool.

Make sure that the cutting disc does not brush against the retracting blade guard (4), the fixed protective guard (18) or any other parts.
Put the power tool into operation for approx. 30 seconds.
If there is substantial vibration, switch the power tool off immediately, remove the cutting disc and then refit it.
