Wait until the machine has reached its top
speed. You can then position the angle grinder
on the workpiece and machine it.
7.2 Changing the grinding wheels (Fig. 5)
Use the face spanner (5) supplied to change the

grinding wheels.

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. 5)
Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten
the flange nut with the face spanner.
Important!
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 flange nut with the flat side facing
the grinding or cutting wheel.

7.5 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 wheel´s rated speed must be higher than the
idle speed of the right-angle grinder.
Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are
approved for a minimum speed of 11000 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.

7.6 OPERATING MODES

7.6.1 Rough grinding
Caution: 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.
7.6.2 Cutting
Caution: Use the safety device for abrasive
cutting (available as accessory, see 9.4)
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.
