SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Warning! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for
Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 3100:2002;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool
repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool.
Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing.
Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective. When using an extension lead
on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable
for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a
risk of fire and electric shock.

GENERAL
1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered work areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high humidity or
rain. Do not use your tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the
work area or to touch the tool or power lead.
4. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
5. Head protection. Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever the
operations may produce dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection whenever the
sound level seems uncomfortable.
6. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). Electric safety can be further
improved by using a high sensitivity (30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired.
9. Secure work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece; it is safer as it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Always check that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
11. Extension leads. Before use inspect the extension leads and replace if damaged.
When using the tool outdoors, only use extension leads intended for outdoor use
and marked accordingly.
12. Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. The
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Do not
force the tool.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment, or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
Warning! Use of this tool can generate flying sparks, make sure the work area is
free of lint and debris.
• Make sure the disc is not in contact with the work piece before the switch is turned on.
• Keep the safety guard in place.
• Check the disc carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged discs immediately.
• Be careful not to damage the spindle or either of the disc flanges. Damage to
these parts could result in disc breakage.
• Hold the tool firmly.
• Prior to using the tool on a work piece, run it under no load and watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation of the disc or a poorly balanced disc.
• Use only discs designed for each specified function and purpose. Do not use
cutting discs for grinding or metal wheels on masonry.
• Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool at an angle of approximately 15°- 30°
to the work piece surface.
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. If rotational speed drops abnormally
the pressure should be released immediately. Little more than the weight of the
tool should be applied. Forcing and excessive pressure can cause dangerous disc
breakage or damage to the tool.
• Use only discs having a maximum operating speed no less than the “No Load
Speed” marked on the nameplate.
BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE ANGLE GRINDER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE ATTACHING OR REMOVING THE DISC OR ATTACHMENT.

OPERATION

Assembling the Side Handle
The side handle should be assembled to the grinder prior to use. This is done by
screwing the threaded end of the handle firmly in to the metal gear case of the
grinder. There are three different positions the handle can be fitted to the grinder.
Choose the most appropriate position considering user comfort and the task at hand.
Adjusting the Safety Guard
Ensure the guard is fitted and at an angle which ensures it is between you and the
disc/wheel. The guard is there to protect you from dislodging objects at the work
piece and from accidental contact with the disc/wheel, of your hand, fingers or
other parts of your body. To adjust the guard, loosen the guard securing screw
using a screwdriver. Rotate the guard into the required position, then refasten the
screw. Ensure the guard is firmly secured prior to use.
Attaching and Removing Grinding Discs
•Inspect the grinding disc before fitting and during use to ensure it is not
deformed or cracked.
Note: Always ensure replacement discs/wheels maximum no load “RPM” speed
exceeds the no load speed marked on the rating label of this grinder. Use of a disc
or wheel which maximum no load “RPM” speed is less than the grinders is a hazard.
• Remove the outer threaded flange by hand if loose. If tight, depress the spindle
lock button at the top of the metal gear case and rotate the spindle to locate
the lock position. With the spindle locked and the spindle lock button still
depressed, use the pin spanner supplied to loosen the outer retaining flange
(threaded flange).
• Holding the angle grinder with the spindle facing upwards, ensure the inner
retaining flange (non threaded flange) is on the spindle and located correctly.
The two machined flat sections on one side of the inner retaining flange must
face the angle grinder and locate in the appropriate position on the spindle.
• Insert the grinding disc onto the angle grinder spindle with the disc label facing
the angle grinder. The hole in the disc should be located onto the spindle.
Ensure the hole in the disc locates and fits firmly into the ring section of the
inner retaining flange.
•Screw the outer retaining flange onto the spindle with the raised ring section
facing the angle grinder. This ring section must locate with in the hole in the disc.
•Tighten the outer retaining flange by locking the spindle as previously explained
then use the pin spanner to tighten the flange.
• Removal of the disc is conducted in reverse order to the above.
• Regularly check the disc retaining flange has not loosened during use.
Note: When fitting a cutting disc, the raised ring section on the outer retaining
flange should face away from the disc. The diamond cutting wheel should be fitted
the same as if fitting a cutting disc. The direction of the arrow on the wheel should
correspond with the arrow on the front of the metal gear case.

OPERATION (cont.)
Grinding Discs, Cutting Discs and Diamond Wheels
• Do not fit or use a grinding disc for cutting applications - For cutting, use a cutting
disc and ask your hardware retailer for advice regarding the type of material you
wish to cut. Grinding discs are used for grinding metal only.
• The grinding disc is not solid. It is made from grit which is bonded together
with reinforcement and adhesives. It is always possible part of the disc can
dislodge and fly away from the tool at high speed. This is why you must wear
the appropriate safety equipment (glasses, gloves and protective clothing)
and follow all safety instructions.
• The diamond wheel is designed for cutting masonry products. Do not cut metal
with this wheel.
• Do not use any kind of attachment (discs or otherwise) which have a diameter
greater than 125mm.
On/off Switch
The grinder is started by pushing the small lever at the front of the switch forward
(toward the metal gear case), then depressing the switch.
To turn the grinder off, simply let go of the switch (this will cause it to return to the
off position).
• Keep the ventilation slots of the tool clean at all times. If possible prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the saw to ensure it is free from all dust particles
which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
• When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will spark and/or stop. The brushes are
a wearing component of the tool and should be replaced prior to the carbon
wearing out fully. Brushes will wear out after many uses but before they do take
the tool to an electrician or a power tool repairer for quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the
repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
