Design features
of the power tool
Vibration-dampening auxiliary handle
[WS22-180 T, WS22-230 T, WS22-230 D]
Vibration-dampening auxiliary handle 13 reduces the
negative influence of vibration on body work, making
work safer and more comfortable�
Turn handle (see fig. 5)
Turn handle 8 can be put into three positions relating
to the horizontal axis of body 6 (see fig. 5). This allows
switch 10 to be put into the position most convenient
for working, and it allows left-handed people to operate
the power tool without decreasing their personal safety�
• Press onto lock 7 and while holding it in position, put
turn handle 8 into the required position�
• Release lock 7�
Soft start
Soft start (limiting system of starting current) enables
smooth start of power tools - the disc is being run up
gradually with no jerks and kickbacks; no jump-like
load is imposed on the motor upon switching�
Recommendations
on the power tool operation
Cutting (see fig. 6)
• Install cutting disc as described below�
• Start the power tool, wait until the engine gains its
maximum speed and only after that, smoothly bring
cutting disc to the surface processed�
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the power tool,
as it will not bring better results but it will overload the
engine and wear out cutting disc faster�
• Move the power tool along the cutting line with mod-
erate feed, not distorting and not making vibrating and
bursting movements�
• Cutting should be implemented in the direction
shown on fig. 6. When cutting in the reverse direction
the danger of uncontrolled throwing of the power tool
out to the side of the operator, which can lead to seri-
ous injuries appears�
Grinding (see fig. 7)
Grinding is applied for the rough and quick grinding of
metals, the processing of welding seams, etc� Select
The manufacturer reserves the possibility to introduce changes.
the type of grinding disc depending on the work, which
you are going to implement�
• Install grinding disc as described above�
• Start the power tool, wait until the engine gains its
maximum speed and only after that smoothly bring
grinding disc to the surface processed�
• Holding the power tool at an angle of 10° to 15° relating
to the surface processed (see fig. 7) is recommended.
If this angle is less than recommended, it will make
controlling the power tool more difficult. If this angle is
more than recommended, the processing quality will
decrease and grooves will be left on the billet surface�
• Make alternate-reciprocal movements applying
moderate pressure to the power tool� Excessive
pressure will not bring better results but it will
overload the engine and create the danger of
destruction of grinding disc, which can cause severe
injuries�
Power tool maintenance /
preventive measures
Before carrying out any works on the power tool it
must be disconnected from the mains�
Cleaning of the power tool
An indispensable condition for a safe long-term
exploitation of the power tool is to keep it clean� During
the long treatment of metal, current-conducting dust
can be accumulated inside the power tool� Regularly
flush the power tool with compressed air thought the
ventilation slots 3�
