en ENGLISH
- We recommend the use of battery packs with
identical item number.
- The use of battery packs with different capacity
(Ah) is permitted. In this case, the battery pack
with the smaller capacity (Ah) determines the
userful life.

flange should not turn on the spindle when
properly attached.
- Place the grinding wheel on the support flange (1).
The grinding wheel must lay flat on the supporting
flange.
7.3 Securing/Releasing the 2-hole nut

The edge of the 2-hole nut (9) faces upwards so
that the thin grinding disc can be attached
securely.
Y) For thick grinding discs:
The edge of the 2-hole nut (9) faces downwards
so that the 2-hole nut can be attached securely to
the spindle.
- Locking the spindle. Turn the 2-hole nut (9)

always switch it off when the battery pack is
removed from the machine.
Always hold the machine with both hands on
the designated handles, take a secure stance
and concentrate on the work.
Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust
and chips. After switching off the machine,
only place it down when the motor has come to a

8.1 Working Directions
Grinding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of
30° - 40° for the best working results.
Cut-off grinding:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Sanding:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
9. Cleaning
Button (16) for adjusting the handle:
Occasionally vacuum clean the button or blow
compressed air through it (when pressed, in all 3
main handle positions). Prior to this operation,
separate the power tool from the power source and
wear protective goggles and a dust mask.
