manufacturer's working instructions, as well as the rele-

Operating Instructions.
The self-start lock prevents the cordless straight grinder
from automatically restarting again after a power inter-
ruption, e.g., after changing the battery. In this case,
switch the power tool off, remove it from the workpiece
and check the application tool. Afterwards, switch the
power tool on again.
Use a collet that fits the grinding accessory.
Insert the clamping shaft of the grinding accessory to the
stop into the collet chuck.
Observe the maximum permitted projecting shaft length
(a) of the grinding accessory according to the manufac-
turer's instructions (see page 7).
Move the power tool back and forth applying uniform
pressure, so that the workpiece surface does not become
too hot.
For best performance, operate the power tool only with
the B18A.173 battery. When using other batteries, the
functionality can be limited.
Handling the battery.
Operate and charge the battery only within the battery
operating-temperature range of 0°C – 45°C (32°F –
113°F). At the beginning of the charging procedure, the
battery temperature must be within the battery operat-
ing-temperature range.

Repair and customer service.
When working metal under extreme operat-
ing conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. Blow out
the interior of the power tool via the ventilation slots fre-
quently with dry and oil-free compressed air.
When working gypsum-containing materials, dust can
settle within the power tool and switch element, which
can harden in connection with humidity. This can impair
the switching mechanism. Blow out the interior of the
power tool via the ventilation slots and the switch ele-
ment frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must
be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
the FEIN customer service centre.
