Rotating the Machine Head
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Completely unscrew the four screws. Rotate the
machine head carefully, without removing it from
the housing, to the new position. Screw in and
tighten the four screws again.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
When operating the machine with power from mobile
generators that do not have sufficient reserve capacity
or are not equipped with suitable voltage control with
starting current amplification, loss of performance or
untypical behavior can occur upon switching on.
Please observe the suitability of the power generator
being used.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, push the On/Off switch 4 for-
wards.
To lock the On/Off switch 4, press the On/Off switch
4 down at the front until it latches.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off
switch 4 or, if it is locked, briefly push down the back
of the On/Off switch 4 and then release it.

The machine head can
be rotated with respect
to the machine housing
in 90° steps. In this
Kickback stop
manner, the On/Off
(GWS 11-125 CI/GWS 11-125 CIE/
switch can be brought
GWS 14-125 CI/GWS 14-125 CIE/
into a more convenient
GWS 14-125 CIT/GWS 14-150 CI)
position for special
working situations, e.g.,
for cutting operations
using the cutting guide
with dust extraction
protection guard 20/cut
off stand or for left-
handed persons.
Restarting protection
(GWS 11-125 CI/GWS 11-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CI/GWS 14-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CIT/GWS 14-150 CI)
The restarting protection feature prevents uncon-
trolled restarting of the machine after an interruption in
the power supply.
To restart the operation, switch the On/Off switch
4 to the Off position and start the machine again.
Reduced starting current
(GWS 11-125 CI/GWS 11-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CI/GWS 14-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CIT/GWS 14-150 CI)
The electronic reduced starting current limits the
power consumption when switching the tool on and
enables operation from a 13 ampere fuse.
Constant Electronic Control
(GWS 11-125 CI/GWS 11-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CI/GWS 14-125 CIE/
GWS 14-125 CIT/GWS 14-150 CI)
Constant electronic control holds the speed constant
at no-load and under load, and ensures uniform work-
ing performance.
Check grinding tools before using. The
grinding tool must be mounted properly and
be able to move freely. Carry out a test run
for at least one minute with no load. Do not
use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating
grinding tools. Damaged grinding tools can
burst and cause injuries.
In case of a sudden drop in speed,
e. g. jamming while carrying out a sep-
arating cut, the power supply to the
motor is interrupted.
To restart the operation, switch the
On/Off switch 4 to the Off position
and start the machine again.
