Work instructions

NOTE
When the power tool is switched off, the grinding tool continues
running briefly.
Rough-grinding
WARNING!
Never use cutting-off wheels for rough-grinding.
–
Angle of wheel 20–40° for best cutting performance.
–
Applying moderate pressure, move the angle grinder
backwards and forwards. As a result, the workpiece will not
become too hot and there will be no discoloration; nor will
there be any grooves.

Maintenance and care

Before carrying out any work on the angle grinder, always pull
out the mains plug.
Cleaning
If metals are ground or cut over a prolonged period, conductive
dust may become deposited inside the housing. Impairment of
the protective insulation! Operate the power tool via a residual-
current-operated circuit-breaker (tripping current 30 mA).


Carbon brushes (not L 13-10 125-EC)
The angle grinder features cut-off carbon brushes.
When the wear limit of the cut-off carbon brushes is reached,
the angle grinder switches off automatically.
Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer for replacement
purposes. If non-original parts are used, the guarantee obligations of
the manufacturer will be deemed null and void.
Gears
Do not loosen the screws on the gear head during the warranty
period. Non-compliance will deem the guarantee obligations of
the manufacturer null and void.
Repairs
Repairs may be carried out by an authorised customer service
centre only.
Spare parts and accessories
For other accessories, in particular grinding tools, see the ma-
nufacturer's catalogues.
Exploded drawings and spare-part lists can be found on our ho-

WARNING!
Do not press, tilt or oscillate the power tool.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the angle grinder jumping
uncontrollably out of the groove.
The angle grinder must always be operated backwards.
Adjust the feed to the material which is to be cut: the harder
the material, the slower the feed.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots. Fre-
quency of cleaning is dependent on the material and dura-
tion of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry
compressed air.
