INTENDED USE
The machine is intended to grind slots, in conjunction with
a dust-category M vacuum cleaner, in mineral materials
such as reinforced concrete, brickwork and road surfaces,
without the use of water.
The rotational speed of this machine is adjustable. For
grinding slots with diamond grinding wheels, the machine
must always be set on the maximum rotational speed.
POWER SUPPLY
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the
same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only
be operated on single-phase AC supply. The tool is double-
insulated in accordance with European Standard and can
therefore be used from non-grounded sockets.
DUST EXTRACTION
Dust released when processing (grinding of
minerals) can be harmful to one's health. Tou-
ching or breathing-in the dusts can cause al-
lergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.

• To achieve a high degree of dust extraction, use a dust
category M vacuum cleaner for mineral dust together
with this power tool.
• Provide good ventilation of the working place.
• It is recommended to wear a FFP2 fi lter class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Please observe the following notes in order to reduce the
dust emissions occurring while working.
• Only use combinations of diamond grinding wheels, con-
crete grinders with mounted guard and extraction hood
as well as dust category M vacuum cleaners that are re-
commended by Carat. Other combinations can lead to
insuffi cient dust collection and separation.
• Observe the operating instructions of the vacuum clea-
ner for maintenance and cleaning of the vacuum cleaner,
including the fi lter. Empty dust collection containers im-
mediately once full. Clean the fi lters of the vacuum clea-
ner regularly and always insert the fi lters completely into
the vacuum cleaner.
• Only use vacuum hoses as intended by Carat. Do not
manipulate the vacuum hose. When rocks or chunks of
stone/masonry are drawn into the vacuum hose, cease
work and clean the vacuum hose immediately. Prevent
the vacuum hose from being bent or creased.
• Use the concrete grinder only as intended for.
• Only use tools that are in perfect condition. Decrease in
work progress is noticeable whilst using worn tools.
• Observe the general requirements for construction sites.
• Provide for good ventilation.
• Ensure that the work area is free of obstructions. For lon-
ger grinding jobs, the vacuum cleaner must be able to
move along freely and at the right time.
• Wear hearing protection, protective goggles, a dust
mask and gloves as required. As dust mask, use at least
a particle-fi ltering class FFP 2 half-mask.
• Use a suitable vacuum cleaner for cleaning the work-
place. Prevent settled dust from being swirled up by
sweeping.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Pull the mains plug of the power tool from the
socket, before any work on the machine itself!
It's recommended to wear worker's gloves while assem-
bling or changing the diamond grinding wheels.
Diamond grinding wheels become very hot due operating.
Don't touch them until they have cooled down.
Diamond grinding wheels
This power tool is not intended to be used in combination
with other tools than diamond grinding wheels. The guard
doesn't supply suitable protection for tools other than dia-
mond grinding wheels.
The arbor of the diamond grinding wheels must fi t the
mounting fl ange. Do not increase the arbor of the diamond
grinding wheels. Do not use reducers or adapters.
The permissible speed (rpm) of the diamond grinding
wheels used must be at least the 10.000 min-1.
