Flexible rollers (8), flap wheels (9) and wire brushes can be
attached directly to the grinding spindle (1).
For sanding sleeves (11), the shank (10) must first be at-
tached to the grinding spindle (1). The sanding sleeve (11)
can then be twisted onto the shank (10).
Fitting the abrasive tools (see figure A)
– Hold the abrasive tool so that the SDS mounting
springs (13) are pointing away from the grinding
spindle (1).
– Slide the abrasive tool onto the grinding spindle (1) in a
turning motion until you hear it engage.
– Check that it is locked by pulling on the abrasive tool.
Fitting the sanding sleeves (see figure B1 − B2)
– Hold the shank (10) so that the SDS mounting
springs (13) are pointing away from the grinding
spindle (1).
– Slide the shank (10) onto the grinding spindle (1) in a
turning motion until you hear it engage.
– Check that it is locked by pulling on the shank.
– Wind the sanding sleeve (11) over the shank (10) until
the rubber flaps are completely covered.
Removing the abrasive tool (see figures C1−C2)
– Press the SDS actuator button (14) to unlock it and pull
the abrasive tool off the grinding spindle (1).
Dust extraction guard
Note: When working with wire brushes, always use the dust
extraction guard provided.
Fitting the dust extraction guard (see figure D)
– Push the dust extraction guard (2) all the way into the two
fastening grooves (16) of the tool arm (15); note that
some light resistance will be felt.
– Tighten the clamping screw (4).
The dust extraction guard is now firmly mounted on the tool
arm.
Adjusting the dust extraction guard (see figure E)
Adjust the dust extraction guard (2) so that dust or
u
sparks are not directed towards the operator.
The dust extraction guard (2) can cover the grinding spindle
at various angles. This is done using the latching
grooves (17).
– Once it has been mounted, turn the dust extraction
guard (2) to suit the application and the workpiece
shape.
The dust extraction guard locks into three positions.
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
1 609 92A 4M6 | (21.08.2019)
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
External dust extraction (see figure F)
– Connect an extraction hose (18) with a suitable dust ex-
traction adapter (19) (diameter 19 mm) via the extrac-
tion outlet (3). Connect the extraction hose to a dust ex-
tractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of how to connect to various dust
extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dust that is dry, especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching On and Off
– To start the power tool, slide the on/off switch (6) for-
wards.
– To lock the on/off switch (6) in position, push the on/off
switch (6) forwards until it clicks into place.
– To switch off the power tool, release the on/off
switch (6); or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/
off switch (6) backwards and down and then release it.
Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
u
abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are
damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged
abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
