Operating instructions
NOTE

running briefly.
Rough-grinding
WARNING!
Never use cutting-off wheels for rough-grinding.
–
Angle of wheel 20–40° for best cutting performance.
–
Applying moderate pressure, move the angle grinder
backwards and forwards. As a result, the workpiece will not
become too hot and there will be no discoloration; nor will
there be any grooves.
Cut-off grinding (Figure H)
WARNING!
A special cutting guard must be used for cut-off grinding.
–
Do not press, tilt or oscillate the power tool.
–
Angle grinder must always operate in the counter direction.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the angle grinder jumping
uncontrollably out of the groove.
–
Adjust the feed to the material which is to be work: the
harder the material, the slower the feed.

Maintenance and care
WARNING!
Before carrying out any work on the angle grinder, always pull
out the mains plug.
Cleaning
WARNING!
If metals are ground or cut over a prolonged period, conductive
dust may become deposited inside the housing. Impairment of
the protective insulation! Operate the power tool via a residual-
current-operated circuit-breaker (tripping current 30 mA).
Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots. Fre-

quency of cleaning is dependent on the material and dura-
tion of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry

compressed air.
Carbon brushes
The angle grinder features cut-off carbon brushes.
When the wear limit of the cut-off carbon brushes is reached,
the angle grinder switches off automatically.
NOTE
Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer for
replacement purposes.
If non-original parts are used, the guarantee obligations of the
manufacturer will be deemed null and void.
