Protection class
The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific models.
When switching on power tools with starting current limitation, the voltage drops briefly. Interference with other equipment may occur in the
event of unfavourable conditions in the electricity supply. Malfunctions are not expected if the impedances in the electricity supply are below
0.25 ohms.
Fitting
Fitting protective equipment
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Note: If the grinding disc breaks during operation or the
holding fixtures on the protective guard/power tool become
damaged, the power tool must be sent to the after-sales ser-
vice immediately; see the "After-sales service and advice on
using products" section for addresses.
Protective guard for grinding
(GWS 24-230 JVX)
Open the clamping lever (27). Place the protective guard
with the coding cam (26) in the coding groove on the spindle
collar so that the shoulder of the protective guard is sitting
on the flange of the power tool and then rotate the protective
guard to the required position. Close the clamping lever
(27).
Adjust the protective guard (25) such that sparking in
u
the direction of the operator is prevented.
You can change the clamping force of the fastener on the
protective guard by loosening or tightening the adjusting
screw (28). Make sure that the protective guard is held
firmly in place and check this regularly.
Note: The coding cams on the protective guard ensure that
only a protective guard that is suitable for the power tool can
be fitted.

Clean the grinding spindle (4) and all the parts to be fitted.
Lock the grinding spindle with the spindle lock button (1)
before clamping and releasing the abrasive tools.
Do not press the spindle lock button while the grind-
u
