How to the adjustable pin spanner:
Using an adjustable pin spanner for an angle grinder is straightforward and can help you easily change grinding discs or perform maintenance. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
1. Preparation:
- Safety First: Ensure the angle grinder is unplugged or the battery is removed to prevent accidental starting.
- Protective Gear: Wear safety gloves and eye protection to safeguard against any accidental slips or debris.
2. Adjusting the Pin Spanner:
- Locate the Locking Nut: Identify the locking nut or flange that secures the grinding disc on the angle grinder.
- Adjust the Pins: Use the adjustable mechanism on the spanner to align the pins with the holes on the locking nut. Adjust the distance between the pins to match the spacing on your specific grinder's nut.
3. Using the Spanner:
- Insert the Pins: Place the spanner's pins into the holes on the locking nut or flange.
- Secure Grip: Ensure the pins are securely seated in the holes to avoid slippage.
4. Removing the Locking Nut:
- Hold the Grinder Steady: With one hand, hold the grinder steady.
- Turn the Spanner: Using the other hand, turn the spanner counterclockwise to loosen the locking nut. If the nut is tight, apply steady pressure until it begins to move.
5. Changing the Disc:
- Remove the Nut: Once the nut is loose, remove it completely.
- Swap the Disc: Remove the old disc and replace it with the new one, ensuring it is seated correctly on the spindle.
6. Securing the New Disc:
- Reattach the Nut: Place the locking nut back onto the spindle, tightening it by hand initially.
- Tighten with Spanner: Use the pin spanner to further tighten the nut by turning it clockwise. Ensure it is secure but do not over tight, as this could damage the disc or the grinder.
7. Final Check:
- Test the Fit: Give the disc a gentle wiggle to ensure it is firmly in place and properly secured.
- Power Up: Plug the angle grinder back in or reinsert the battery.
Tips:
- Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the pins and adjustment mechanism to ensure the spanner remains in good working condition.
- Proper Storage: Store the pin spanner in a safe place to avoid damage or loss of the tool.
Using an adjustable pin spanner correctly can make maintaining and operating your angle grinder more efficient and safe.
