Maintenance

Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out
cleaning and maintenance work.

This machine has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper machine care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each
use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not
come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the
plastic parts.

Lubrication

The machine requires no additional lubrication.

Faults

Should a fault occur, please contact the address on the warranty card. On the
back page of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that
can be ordered.

Environment

In order to prevent the machine from damage during transport, it is delivered
in a sturdy packaging. Most of the packaging materials can be recycled. Take
these materials to the appropriate recycling locations.

Web support: www.omegawolf.com/powercraft
Model Number: PAG-230/2100

Operation

•

Hold the machine firmly and move it against the workpiece. Move the
grinding disc evenly across the workpiece.

•

Move the machine during roughing under an angle of 30º - 40º across the
workpiece (fig. 7).

•

The machine must be moved in same direction as the arrow on the tool
head shows, in order to prevent the tool from being pushed out of the
cut in an uncontrolled manner (fig.8). Let the speed of the cutting disc do
the work, do not apply pressure on the tool. Do not break cutting discs
with side pressure and do not tilt the tool while cutting.

•

Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on
the machine.

•

Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not
place the machine on a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the
mechanism.

•

Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the
wall socket.

Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.

mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by our
customer service centre unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instructions manual. Have defective switches replaced by our customer
service centre. Do not use tool if the switch does not turn on and off.

Mounting the toolless protective guard

The protective guard is pre-adjusted for the diameter of the spindle shaft. If
necessary, the tension of the clamping lever can be adjusted by turning the
adjustment-bolt (13). Pay attention to the correct fitting of the guard (7) on
the spindle shaft (10).

•

Open the clamping lever (14)

•

Place the protective guard across the spindle shaft on the machine head

Safety instructions

•

For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the
thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

•

Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty
conditions. If it should become nessesary to clear dust, first disconnect the
tool from the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal parts.

•

Should your electricity supply be in poor condition, the voltage might
drop when starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment
(for example blinking of a lamp). If the mains-impedance Zmax <0.348
Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In this case contact your local
supply authority for further information)
