! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
• Grip ring J 9
For a better grip when working
! always use grip ring J when holding the tool so
that ventilation slots L will not be covered by
your hands
• Speed selection wheel K 2 (9470)
- for determining the right speed table 0 can be used
as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
• Electronic soft-start (9470)
Ensures reaching the maximum speed smoothly without
a sudden impact when tool is switched on
• Electronic constant speed (9470)
Keeps the speed at a constant level as the load increases
• Electronic overload protection (9470)
Reduces the speed of the cutting disc automatically in
case the tool is overloaded for a longer period of time
For returning to normal working speed:
- switch off tool
- let tool cool down for 30 seconds
- switch on tool
• Replacing carbon brushes !
This tool is equipped with carbon brushes which pop up
automatically when worn, thus preventing the motor
from being damaged; when the tool stops unexpectedly,
replace the brushes as follows:
! ensure that switch H is in the "O" position
! disconnect the plug
- open the tool with a Torx-15 key (not supplied with
the tool)
- disconnect and remove the worn carbon brushes as
illustrated
- insert and connect the new carbon brushes (supplied
with the tool)
! prevent the spring from popping back by holding
it up with one hand while replacing the carbon
brush with the other hand
- ensure that the wiring is put back as illustrated
! always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time
• Grinding @
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
• Cutting #
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on
tool head, in order to prevent the tool from being
pushed out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner
- do not apply pressure on the tool; let the speed of
the cutting disc do the work
- the working speed of the cutting disc depends on the
material to be cut
- do not brake cutting discs with side pressure

The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual (indicated by an asterisk) has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 50144; it may be used to compare one tool with
another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to
vibration when using the tool for the applications
mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
