  • Always use the safety hood (12) for the cutting disc.

  • Use the angle grinder stand only with an angle grinder which is equipped with a metal hood for the cutting disc.

  • Position the hood in such a way that the cutting disc is only accessible from the bottom and the hood can not touch the work piece.

  • Cutting causes flying sparks. Make sure no flammable material is in your working area. The sparks may also damage paint, glass and other surfaces.

  • Do not wear garments made of nylon or polyester, wear only suitable work clothes of low flammability.

  • Make sure the power cord of the angle grinder is out of the cutting area and out of the range of the sparks.

  • Make sure the work piece is clamped tightly and rests solidly on the base plate.

  • Store the angle grinder in a dry place which is free from dust.

  • Regularly check the screws for tightness during work. Regularly check the angle grinder stand for damage. Vibration can loosen the screws of damage parts. Do not use the angle grinder you find damaged parts on it.

  • Make sure the cutting disc is in a right angle to the base plate.

Assembly Instructions

Assembly Instructions

Please follow the sketches to set up the stand. Depending on the angle grinder, you require up to 7 open end spanners (8 mm, 2 x 10 mm, 2 x 14 mm and possibly 2 x 17 mm), two Allen wrenches (5 mm and 6 mm) and a slot screwdriver (approx. 5 mm).
Mount the saddle (2) with the Allen screws (4) and the washers (3) on the base plate (1).
Mount the handle (10) with the embedded screw and the corresponding nut on the retainer (6). Place a washer (21) between nut and retainer.
Attach the angle grinder to the retainer (6). Please notice that the angle grinder has to be equipped with the correct cutting disc before mounting. The cutting disc can not be changed while the angle grinder is attached to the stand. Now check whether your angle grinder is equipped with a 10, 8 or 6 mm treated mounting hole for the accessory handle. Find the correct retaining screws (8) and the corresponding nuts (9). (Please follow figure B).

Stick the correct retaining screws (8) through the mounting pieces (14). Because most angle grinders require 8 mm screws, the correct plastic inserts for 8 mm screws are already installed. If you require a different size of screw, remove the plastic insert and use the smaller insert for the smaller 6 mm screws or no insert for 10 mm screws. Mount the mounting pieces (14) by clamping them with the nuts (9).
Insert the adjusting screw (13) into the lower hole and the adjusting screw (7) into the upper hole of the retainer (6). The rubber buffers of the screws must rest on the housing of the angle grinder after mounting (See figures A and D). Initially, retract the rubber buffer against the retainer (6).
Now insert the plastic retainers (15) of the mounting pieces (14) into their guides in the retainer (6) (figure B). Now mount the mounting pieces (14) and the plastic retainers (15) with the Allen screws (5) in the slotted holes of the retainer (6).
Use the adjusting screws (7) and (13) to adjust the angle grinder in a right angle to the base plate (1) and mounted without slack on the retainer.
Adjust the saddle (2) after loosening the Allen screws (4) in such a way that the cutting disc exactly dives into the slot in the base plate (1).
Now mount the safety hood (12). Attach the hood (12) to the metal rod (11) and secure it with the nuts (29). Then, insert the metal rod into the corresponding hole in the retainer (6) (figure C) and secure it with the nut (28) and the screw (27).

After mounting, turn on the angle grinder and allow it to run for several seconds. After that, pull the power plug of the angle grinder and check all screws for tightness.

  • Avoid sharp impacts and apply even force on the work piece.
