Fitting Abrasive Tools Using an Open-Ended Spanner and Spindle Lock (see figure A)
- Only use open-ended spanners that are suitable and undamaged (see "Technical Data").
- Clean the grinding spindle (3) and all the parts to be fitted.
- Press the spindle lock (13) and turn the clamping nut (2) by hand until locked.
- Press and hold the spindle lock and loosen the clamping nut (2) with the open-ended spanner (9) by turning it anticlockwise.
- Insert the straight shank of the grinding tool all the way into the collet (1).
- Press the spindle lock (13) and tighten the application tool by placing the open-ended spanner (9) on the spanner flat and turning it clockwise.
The grinding tools must run completely concentrically. Do not continue to use damaged grinding tools that are out of balance. If the grinding tools are out of balance, they should be replaced.
- Do not, under any circumstances, tighten the collet with the clamping nut until a grinding tool has been fitted. The collet may otherwise become damaged.
- Only use mounted points with an appropriate shank diameter. A mounting point with a shank diameter which does not correspond to the tool holder of the power tool (see "Technical data") cannot be held properly and will damage the collet chuck.
- The application tool must be clamped at least 10 mm. The inner shank dimension L0 can be used to calculate the maximum permitted speed of the application tool from the specifications provided by the manufacturer of the application tool. It must not be less than the maximum speed of the power tool.
