Operating instructions
NOTE
When the angle grinder is switched off, the grinding tool
continues running briefly.
Rough-grinding
WARNING!
Never use cutting-off wheels for rough-grinding.
–
Angle of wheel 20–40° for best cutting performance.
–
Applying moderate pressure, move the angle grinder
backwards and forwards. As a result, the workpiece will not
become too hot and there will be no discoloration; nor will
there be any grooves.
Cut-off grinding (Figure J)
WARNING!
A special cutting guard must be used for cut-off grinding.
–
Hazardous quartz dust is produced when bricks, concrete
and natural stone are cut.
–
Do not press, tilt or oscillate the power tool.
–
The angle grinder must always be operated backwards,
see diagram.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the angle grinder jumping
uncontrollably out of the groove.
–
Adjust the feed to the material which is to be cut:
the harder the material, the slower the feed.

Cleaning
WARNING!
If metals are ground or cut over a prolonged period, conductive
dust may become deposited inside the housing. Impairment of
the protective insulation! Operate the power tool via a residual-
current-operated circuit-breaker (tripping current 30 mA).
Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots. Fre-
quency of cleaning is dependent on the material and dura-
tion of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry
compressed air.
Carbon brushes
The angle grinder features cut-off carbon brushes.
When the wear limit of the cut-off carbon brushes is reached,
the angle grinder switches off automatically.
NOTE
Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer for
replacement purposes.
If non-original parts are used, the guarantee obligations of the
manufacturer will be deemed null and void.
When the power tool is being used, the carbon brushes can be
seen sparking through the rear air inlet apertures.
If the carbon brushes spark excessively, switch off the angle grin-
der immediately.
Take the angle grinder to a customer service workshop authorised
by the manufacturer.
Gears
NOTE
Do not loosen the screws on the gear head during the warranty
period. Non-compliance will deem the guarantee obligations of
the manufacturer null and void.
Repairs
Repairs may be carried out by an authorised customer service
centre only.
Spare parts and accessories
Other accessories, in particular sanding tools and cutting gu-
ards, can be found in the manufacturer's catalogues.
