Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment's construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Fitting the additional handle

• The angle grinder must not be used without the additional handle (3).
• The additional handle can be secured in any of three positions (A, B, C).

Setting the guard

• Switch off the tool. Pull the power plug.
• Adjust the guard (4) to protect your hands so that the material being ground is directed away from your body.
• T he position of the guard (4) can be adjusted to any specific working conditions. Undo the clamp handle (a) and turn the cover (4) into the required position.
• Ensure that the guard (4) correctly covers the gear wheel casing.
• Secure the clamp handle (a) again.
• Ensure that the guard (4) is secure.

Take care that the safety device is secure.
Never use the angle grinder without the guard.

Test run for new grinding Wheels

Allow the right-angle grinder to run in idle for at least 1 minute with the grinding or cutting wheel fi tted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be replaced immediately.

Operation

Switch

The angle grinder comes with a safety switch which is designed to prevent accidents. To start, push the locking lever (a) forwards, then press the On/Off switch (2).

Speed controller

You can select the speed by turning the speed controller (6).
Switch position 1: approx. 3,000 rpm
Switch position 2: approx. 6,000 rpm
Switch position 3: approx. 8,000 rpm
Switch position 4: approx. 9,800 rpm
Switch position 5: approx. 10,500 rpm
Switch position 6: approx. 11,000 rpm
The best speed depends on the area of application and the maximum rated speed of the grinding/sanding tool. Select a speed in the range from 3,000 to 11,000 rpm using the speed control switch (6). You can choose from 6 diff erent switch positions. The speeds in the various switch positions are as follows:

Status indicator (Fig. 1)
The status indicator (7) lights up when the power plug is connected.
Wait until the machine has reached its top speed. You can then position the angle grinder on the workpiece and machine it.

Changing the grinding wheels

Use the face spanner (5) supplied to change the grinding wheels. The face spanner (5) is stored in the additional handle (3). Pull the face spanner (5) out of the additional handle (3) when you need it.

For safety reasons, the angle grinder must not be operated with the face spanner (5) inserted in it.

Pull out the power plug.

• Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
• Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding wheel to latch in place.
• Open the flange nut with the face spanner.
• (Fig. 7)
  
• Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten the flange nut with the face spanner.

Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and grinding spindle are at a standstill! You must keep the spindle lock pressed while you change the wheel!
For grinding or cutting wheels up to approx. 3 mm thick, screw on the fl ange nut with the fl at side facing the grinding or cutting wheel.

Motor

It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation holes clean at all times.

Grinding Wheels

• Never use a grinding or cutting wheel bigger than the specified diameter.
• Before using a grinding or cutting wheel, check its rated speed.
• The maximum speed of the grinding or cutting wheel used must be higher than the idle speed of the angle grinder.
• Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a minimum speed of 11,000 rpm and a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
• Check the direction of rotation when you use diamond cutting wheels. The directional arrow on the diamond cutting wheel must point in the direction in which the tool rotates.

Take special care that the grinding/sanding wheels are properly stored and transported. Ensure that the grinding/sanding wheels are never exposed to shock, jolts or sharp edges (for example during transport or storage in a toolbox). This could cause damage (such as cracks) to the grinding/sanding wheels and place the user in serious danger.

Operating Modes

Rough grinding (Fig. 12)

Use the safety device for sanding/grinding (included in items supplied). For the best rough grinding results, hold the grinding wheel at an angle of between 30° and 40° to the workpiece surface and guide back and forth over the workpiece in steady movements.

Cutting (Fig. 13)

Use the safety device for abrasive cutting (available as accessory) When you use the right-angle grinder for cutting purposes, avoid tilting it in the cutting plane. The cutting wheel must have a clean cutting edge. A diamond cutting wheel is best used to cut hard stone.
It is prohibited to use the machine on asbestos materials!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grinding.

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician. Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
