Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in
structural walls; see Section "Information
on Structures ".
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain
stationary due to its own weight.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
After heavily straining the power tool, con-
tinue to run it at no-load for several minutes
to cool down the accessory.
Grinding and cutting discs become very hot
while working; do not touch until they have
cooled.
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off
stand.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
The best roughing results are achieved when
setting the machine at an angle of 30° to 40°.
Move the machine back and forth with moderate
pressure. In this manner, the workpiece will not
become too hot, does not discolour and no
grooves are formed.

Cutting disc and cutting guide
(Cutting masonry/stone is permitted
only with use of the cutting guide)
Flap Disc
With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces
and profiles can be worked.
Flap discs have a considerably higher service
life, lower noise levels and lower sanding tem-
peratures than conventional sanding sheets.
Cutting Metal
For cutting with bonded abrasives, always
use the protection guard for cutting 14.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapt-
ed to the material being cut. Do not exert pres-
sure onto the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the
machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cut-
ting discs by applying sideward pressure.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best
to start at the smallest cross section.

The machine must
always work in an
up-grinding mo-
tion. Otherwise,
the danger exists
of it being pushed
uncontrolled out
of the cut.
