Inserting/replacing the diamond cutting disc (for applications such as cutting tiles)
- Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
- Wearing protective gloves while inserting and replacing diamond cutting discs is recommended.
- Diamond cutting discs become very hot while working; do not touch them until they have cooled.
- Use only diamond-tipped cutting discs. Do not use segmented cutting discs or bonded, reinforced cutting discs.
- Open and close the base plate (3) carefully to prevent injuries and material damage.
- Maintain enough distance between the power tool and the workpiece to prevent any damage.
- Hold the power tool by the handle (11).
- Push the unlocking lever (4) for the base plate (3) down. The base plate opens.
- Press and hold the spindle lock button (12).
- Do not press the spindle lock button (12) while the saw spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged if this happens.
- Use the hex key (16) to undo the clamping bolt with clamping flange (15) in rotational direction ➊.
- Remove the diamond cutting disc (21) and the mounting flange (13) from the grinding spindle.
- Maintain enough distance between the power tool and the workpiece to prevent any damage.
- Hold the power tool by the handle (11).
- Push the unlocking lever (4) for the base plate (3) down. The base plate opens.
- Clean the diamond cutting disc (21) and all the clamping elements to be fitted.
- Insert the mounting flange (13).
- Place the diamond cutting disc (21) on the mounting flange (13). The rotational direction of the arrow on the diamond cutting disc must match the rotational direction of the arrow on the power tool.
- Press and hold the spindle lock button (12).
- Use the hex key (16) to tighten the clamping bolt with clamping flange (15) in rotational direction ➋. The tightening torque should be 6–9 Nm, which corresponds to hand-tight plus ¼ turn.
- Close the base plate (3) again. You will hear it click into place.
