range, and therefore the guard must not be positioned
there.
The usage range of the guard is determined by its teeth B
(see Figure
), and one of them must always be
clamped in the hole of the release lever (see chapter on
checking the fitting of the guard with the release lever).
The guard teeth are not located along its whole
circumference, and its uttermost usage position is
determined by fitting the last tooth C in the release lever
hole.
Checking the fitting between the
guard and the release lever, Figure
Spring A pushes the released release lever
the guard
. The release lever has a hole and one of the
guard teeth
should fit the hole (see figure
thus prevent its turning.
Every time you mount the guard or adjust its position, you
must check if the lever fits into the guard by trying to turn
the guard when the lever is released:
- If the guard does not turn, the release lever blocks it
correctly (Figure
- If the guard rotates, it means that the release lever
has not blocked it yet, which is shown in Figure
, where the release lever leaned on the guard
teeth and thus no tooth was clamped in the hole.
Turn the guard until after the maximum of 15°
degrees of turning the release lever itself fits the
guard and blocks its turning. The guard is only now
in the correct position.
Never set the guard outside the usage range. If you set
it outside its usage range, the guard could be taken down
and cause personal injuries.
Always set the guard in such a position that the
release lever will prevent its rotation. Unblocked guard
could turn during work and cause personal injuries.
Removing the guard, Figure
When sanding with sanding paper and brushing with a
wire brush, you need to remove the guard in the following
manner:
- First remove the flange nut, the accessory and the
flange
(see
the
accessories)
- Push the release lever in the direction of
support, turn the guard in the direction shown in
Figure
and then remove it.
Protection guard for cutting, Figure
Always use the protection guard
mounted and removed in the same manner as the
protection guard for grinding.

and tighten the nut
!
Flange nut must be tightened sufficiently. Over-
tightened nut can cause damages.
!
Never press the spindle lock-off button during
work.
!
Check the free rotation of the disk before using the
tool.
!
Grinding and cutting discs get very hot during work
therefore do not touch them until they cool down.
OPERATION
!
Power supply voltage must correspond to the data
on the tool's nameplate. Power tools marked with
230V can also be connected to 220V mains. Power
tools marked with 120V can also be connected to
110V mains.
Tool start-up
• Switching ON: Push the ON/OFF switch forward,
Figure
.
Hold the tool firmly when you switch it on.
• Switch lock-off: Push the switch button forward and
press the front part in order to lock it.
• Switching OFF: Press the rear part of the ON/OFF
switch (Figure
OFF position.
!
Switch off the power tool only when it is no longer
in contact with the workpiece.
Working with the power tool
!
Before using the tool check if the grinding / cutting
disc is positioned and fixed correctly to the tool
and let it run unloaded for 60 seconds in a safe
position for the user.
!
If strong vibrations appear or if you notice any
irregularity in its operation, immediately switch off
the tool and mount another grinding / cutting disc.
If the situation is not improved, take the tool to an
authorized service centre.
!
Fix the workpiece.
You must have absolute control over the grinder during
work (see Figure
Start working only when the disc has reached its full
speed.
Excessive pressure on the tool will not improve either the
speed or the quality of the work. It will merely fatigue the
tool and shorten its service life.
!
In case the tool is jammed, immediately switch it off
and unplug it. Continue working only when the
cause of jamming has been removed.
!
Never cover ventilation slots on the motor housing.
Closed ventilation slots will cause motor overheating
and damage to the tool.
Grinding metals
!
Never use cutting discs for grinding.
When grinding with grinding disc the angle between the
disc and the workpiece should be 20° to 40° (see Figure
)
.
Apply light pressure during grinding by moving the grinder
along the workpiece. This way you will prevent
overheating the workpiece and different colour of grinding.
When grinding with abrasive paper the angle between the
abrasive paper and the workpiece should be 20° to 30°.
