Working procedures
NOTE
►
Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications. Otherwise, they
can break, be damaged or cause injuries.
Rough grinding
Never use cutting discs
for rough grinding!
■
Move the angle grinder with moderate
pressure back and forth over the workpiece.
■
For soft material, move the roughing disc
at a flat angle over the workpiece; for hard
material at a slightly steeper angle.
Abrasive cutting
Never use roughing discs
for cutting!
■
Use only tested fibre-reinforced cutting or
grinding discs that are approved for a
peripheral speed of not less than 80 m/s.
CAUTION!
►
The grinder continues running after being
turned off. Do not try to brake it by applying
lateral counterpressure.
■
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/a vice to
hold the workpiece firmly in place. This is much
safer than simply holding it in your hand.
■
Always switch off the appliance before
putting it down and wait for the appliance to
come to a complete standstill.
■
Use the appliance only for dry cutting or
sanding.
■
The additional handle
on the appliance for all work.
■
Materials containing asbestos may not be
processed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

DANGER! ALWAYS GUIDE THE
APPLIANCE THROUGH THE WORK-
PIECE IN REVERSE ROTATION.
►
In the opposite direction there is a risk of
a kickback. The appliance can be pushed
out of the cut.
■
Always switch the appliance on before
applying it to the workpiece. After completing
the task, lift the appliance from the workpiece
and then switch it off.
■
Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working. Ensure that your stance
is secure and stable.
■
For an optimum grinding effect, move the appli-
ance evenly at an angle of 15° to 30°
(between the grinding disc and workpiece)
backwards and forwards.
■
When working on angled surfaces, do not
exert great force on the workpiece. If the
rotational speed drops significantly, you must
reduce the pressure exerted to allow safe and
effective working. If the appliance suddenly
brakes completely or jams, it must be switched
off immediately.
■
Cutting: Work at a moderate feed rate and
do not tilt the cutting disc.
■
Roughing and cutting discs become very hot
– let them cool down completely before
touching them.
■
Never use the appliance for purposes other
than the ones for which it was designed.
■
Always make sure that the appliance is
turned off before inserting the battery into it.
■
In the event of danger, turn off the appliance
and remove the battery. Ensure that the appli-
ance is easily and quickly accessible in the
event of an emergency.
■
Always remove the battery during work
breaks, when adjusting the appliance and
when it is not in use. The appliance must be
kept clean, dry and free of oil and grease at
all times.
