7.1
Adjusting the speed (depending on
features)
Set the recommended speed at the thumbwheel.
(5) (small number = low speed; large number = high
speed)
Cutting disc, roughing disc, cup wheel and diamond

7.2
Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When switching
the machine on and off, keep it away from dust
deposits. After switching off the machine, only place
it down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in a
safe position and concentrate.
Machines with slide switch:
Switching on: Push the slide switch (4) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt downwards until
it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide
switch (4) and release.

Working instructions
Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Roughing: position the machine at an angle of
30° - 40° for the best working results.
Separating:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
8. Cleaning
Motor cleaning: blow compressed air through the
rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,
frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must
be held firmly.
9. Troubleshooting
(depending on equipment)
Restart protection: The machine does not start.
The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is
inserted with the machine switched on, or if the
current supply is restored following an interruption,
the machine does not start up. Switch the machine
off and on again.
