5. Insert battery 1 as shown in Fig. 3 in the
housing opening of the device until it en-
gages.
To protect the battery from harmful total di-
scharge while in operation, the charge status
is permanently monitored electronically and the
device will switch off before it reaches the cri-
tical discharge condition. The battery will now
need to be recharged. Do not attempt to put the
device back into operation with a discharged
battery!
6. To charge, press the release buttons 2, pull
out the battery to the rear and carry out
steps 1-5.
The charging process can be interrupted at any
time and continued without damage to the battery.
Caution!
Drastically reduced operating times after the
charging process indicates that the battery
needs to be replaced!
If after inserting the battery into its designated
opening the light-emitting diode fl ashes instead
of glowing yellow continuously, the cause may
be a too high temperature, a defect, or the total
discharge of the battery.
• If the battery is too hot, the charging process
will start automatically after it cools down.
• If, on the other hand, the battery has a nor-
mal temperature but is totally discharged, the
charger will check if it still draws power or it
if is already defective.
• If the battery can be recovered, the yellow
light-emitting diode will glow continuously
after some time, signalling the successful
charging process.
• If the yellow light-emitting diode fl ashes, the
battery is defective and needs to be disposed
of; see also "Note on disposal within the EU"
later on in these instructions.

General handling of the device:
Caution!
• Do not work with damaged or worn bits and
cutters! Make sure the tools are in perfect
condition. Damaged or worn tools can break
and cause injuries!
• Never press the lock button if the bits and
cutters and are still rotating.
• Please note: The utilised bits and cutters may
not exceed a maximum diameter of 50 mm!
• Make sure that the permissible maximum
speed of the bits and cutters does not un-
dershoot the speed of the device! The tool
can break when the maximum permissible
speed is exceeded. Flying parts can cause
damage and severe injuries!
• Never work without dust protection mask and
safety glasses. Some dusts have a hazardous
effect! Materials containing asbestos may not
be machined!
• Ensure the work piece is fi xed securely! Loo-
se work pieces should be clamped in a sui-
table fi xture. This prevents the work pieces
from fl ying about.
• A correct and uniform speed achieves a high
grinding performance, not excessive contact
pressure! Excessive pressure is to be avoi-
ded: it only stresses the device and can even
damage the bits and cutters!
• Hold the device without covering the ventila-
tion slots. If it overheats, you absolutely must
shut off the device and allow it to cool down.
• Do not use the cutting disc for rough-machi-
ning. Risk of fracture!
• Work only with a correctly adjusted protective
guard!
Replacing the sanding or cutting disc
Pre-assembled with a fan sander with grain
100 and 50 mm diameter, ideal for grinding and
smoothing malleable cast iron, grey cast iron,
stainless steel, steel, non-ferrous metal, wood
and plastic.
The supplied high-grade corundum sanding
disc is ideal for roughing, grinding, sharpening
and removing rust from metal or non-ferrous
