Cutting operations
The machine must be used only for dry cutting!
When cutting, do not press, jam or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move
the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
For cutting, especially hard material, the diamond cutting disc can overheat and
become damaged as a result. This is clearly indicated by circular sparking, rotating with
the diamond cutting disc. In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the
diamond disc to cool by running freely at no-load speed for a short time.
Noticeable decreasing work progress and circular sparking are indications that
the diamond disc has become dull. Briefly cutting into abrasive material can resharpen
the disc.
Turning the machine handle (only for AGP 230AV)
The handle can be turned with respect to the motor housing by 90° either to the left or
right side. This allows the on/off switch to be positioned more conveniently for certain
working situations.
Unplug the machine (1)
Pull the handle unlocking button (2)
Turn the handle in the desired position until it engages (3)
