Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
working situations, e. g., for cutting operations
using the cutting guide with dust extraction pro-
tection guard 20 or for left-handed persons.
Completely unscrew the four screws. Rotate the
machine head carefully, without removing it
from the housing, to the new position. Screw in
and tighten the four screws again.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.

tion, loss of performance or untypical behavior
can occur upon switching on.
Please observe the suitability of the power gen-
erator being used, particularly with regard to
the mains voltage and frequency.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, press the On/Off switch
2 forward and then down.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 2.
Reduced starting current (PWS 20-230 J)

the power consumption when switching the tool
on and enables operation from a 13 ampere
fuse.
Working Advice
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Check grinding tools before using. The
grinding tool must be mounted properly
and be able to move freely. Carry out a test
run for at least one minute with no load. Do
not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating
grinding tools. Damaged grinding tools can
burst and cause injuries.
Exercise caution when cutting slots in
structural walls; see Section "Information
on Structures ".
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain
stationary due to its own weight.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
