6.4 Motor
It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during
operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilati-
on holes clean at all times.
6.5 Grinding Wheels
•
Never use a grinding or cutting wheel bigger
than the specified diameter.
•
Before using a grinding or cutting wheel,
check its rated speed.
•
The maximum speed of the grinding or cut-
ting wheel used must be higher than the idle
speed of the angle grinder.
•
Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are
approved for a minimum speed of 6.500 rpm
and a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
•
Check the direction of rotation when you use
diamond cutting wheels. The directional arrow
on the diamond cutting wheel must point in
the direction in which the tool rotates.
Take special care that the grinding/sanding
wheels are properly stored and transported.
Ensure that the grinding/sanding wheels are
never exposed to shock, jolts or sharp edges (for
example during transport or storage in a toolbox).
This could cause damage (such as cracks) to the
grinding/sanding wheels and place the user in
serious danger.

6.6 Operating Modes
6.6.1 Rough grinding (Fig. 11)
Caution: Use the safety device for san-
ding/grinding (included in items supplied).
For the best rough grinding results, hold the grin-
ding wheel at an angle of between 30° and 40° to
the workpiece surface and guide back and forth
over the workpiece in steady movements.
6.6.2 Cutting (Fig. 12)
Caution: Use the safety device for abrasi-
ve cutting (available as accessory, see 8.4)
When you use the right-angle grinder for cutting
purposes, avoid tilting it in the cutting plane. The
cutting wheel must have a clean cutting edge.
A diamond cutting wheel is best used to cut hard
stone.
It is prohibited to use the machine on as-
bestos materials!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grin-
ding.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
