2) Switching
Switching on (See Fig. I):
The angle grinder comes with a safety switch which is
designed to prevent accidents. To switch on, press
down the On/Off switch(3) at the back, push it
forwards and then press it down at the front.
Switching off:
To switch off the angle grinder, depress the On/Off
switch (3) at the back. The On/Off switch (3) will jump
back into its starting position.
Wait until the machine has reached its top speed.
You can then position the angle grinder on the
workpiece and machine it.
3) Grinding/cutting 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 cutting
wheel used must be higher than the idle speed of
the angle grinder.
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.
4) Changing the grinding/cutting wheels
Use the spanner (8) supplied to change the grinding
wheels.
Danger! For safety reasons, the angle grinder must
not be operated with the spanner (8) inserted in it.
Warning!
Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
Press the spindle lock (2) and allow the grinding
wheel to latch in place.
Open the outer flange with the spanner.(See Fig. J)
Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten
the outer flange with the spanner.
Notice!
Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and
grinding spindle are at a standstill! You must keep the
spindle lock pressed while you change the wheel!
5) Flange arrangements when using
grinding and cutting wheels ( See Fig. K)
GB
Be sure that wheel guard (6 or 12) is in place.
Thread the inner flange (9) onto spindle, then place
wheels (7) on the spindle.
Thread on the outer flange (10) and tighten it using
the supplied spanner (8), while holding the spindle
lock in.
TO REMOVE: Reverse procedure.
6) Motor
It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during
operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation
holes clean at all times.
7) Operating Modes
7.1 Rough grinding (Fig. L)
Caution: Use the safety device for sanding/
grinding
For the best rough grinding results, hold the grinding
wheel at an angle of between 15° and 30° to the
workpiece surface and guide back and forth over the
workpiece in steady movements.
7.2 Cutting (Fig. M)
Caution: Use the safety device for abrasive
Cutting
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
asbestos materials!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grinding.
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Risk of injury! Before any
maintenance or cleaning work:
Remove the battery.
Let the device cool down.
Cleaning
The device must not be sprayed with water
or placed in water. Otherwise there is a risk
of electric shock.
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediate-
ly each time you have finished using it.
