Spindle Lock (fi g. 1)
The spindle lock (b) is provided to prevent the
spindle from rotating when installing or removing
wheels. Operate the spindle lock only when the
tool is turned off, unplugged from the power
supply, and has come to a complete stop.

button and rotate the spindle until you are unable
to rotate the spindle further.
Metal Applications
When using the tool in metal applications, make
sure that a residual current device (RCD) has
been inserted to avoid residual risks caused by
metal swarf.
If the power supply is shut off by the RCD, take
the tool to authorised Förch repair agent.
WARNING: In extreme working
conditions, conductive dust can
accumulate inside the machine housing
when working with metal. This can result
in the protective insulation inthe machine
becoming degraded with a potential risk of
an electrical shock.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the
machine, we recommend to clear the ventilation
slots on a daily basis. Refer to Maintenance.
Using Flap Discs
WARNING: Metal dust build-up.
Extensive use of fl ap discs in metal
applications can result in the increased
potential for electric shock. To reduce this
risk, insert an RCD before use and clean
the ventilation slots daily by blowing dry
compressed air into the ventilation slots
inaccordance with the below maintenance
instructions.
MAINTENANCE
Your Förch power tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular
cleaning.
