wheel.
h) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kick-
back.
Safety warnings specifi c for wire brushing
operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation. Do
not overstress the wires by applying excessi-
ve load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for
at least one minute before using them. During
this time no one is to stand in front or in line
with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be
discharged during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you. Small particles and tiny
wire fragments may be discharged at high ve-
locity during the use of these brushes and may
become imbedded in your skin.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
For use in dry environments only

2 Description of the device:
The Micromot 230/E is ideally suited to tasks
such as precision drilling, milling, grinding,
polishing, brushing, rust removal, engraving,
chasing and cutting and, as a compact,
lightweight but still powerful device, is the fi rst
choice for electronics technicians, model
builders, precision
manufacturers, opticians and arts and crafts
professionals and
construction. Complete fl exibility is assured
when it comes to selecting the material to be
machined, thanks to our familiar and extremely
broad range of varied operational tools.
Machining of metals, non-ferrous metals,
glass, wood, minerals, ceramics, stone and
much more no longer presents a problem!
A carefully balanced permanent magnet DC motor
with extremely smooth running characteristics
provides powerful torque in this respect and,
in conjunction with the sensitive electronic
control, ensures the correct speed for the tool
employed and the task in hand.
The ground spindle with the collet holder is
mounted on precision ball bearings for maximum
precision, durability and smooth running.
Superior-quality, three-jawed collet chucks are
used for tool holding. This enables the reliable
and absolutely centric clamping of even smaller
shafts, fulfi lling the optimum prerequisites for
fi rst-class concentricity and clean working results!
An ergonomically positioned non-slip soft
component on the forward part of the Micromot
230/E enables the user to exploit all these
advantages and facilitates precision guiding
without fatigue. Even two-fi ngered guiding of the
device presents no problem.
