Danger!

When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety regulations with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.

1. Safety regulations

General safety information for power tools

Danger!

Read all safety regulations and instructions.

Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.

The term „power tool“ used in the safety information and instructions refers to power tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated power tools (without a power cable).

1. Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosions and where there are infl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep children and other people away from the power tool while you are using it. If you are distracted you may lose control of the power tool.

2. Electrical safety

a) The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.

b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose for which it is not designed, for example to carry the power tool, hang it up or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Power cables that are damaged or tangled increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you use an electric power tool outdoors, use only extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3. Safety of persons

a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch on the power tool. Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power tool could cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your

GB

balance at all times. This will enable you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.

f) Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fi tting clothes or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts.

g) If dust extraction devices and dust collection devices can be fitted, they must be connected and must be used correctly. The use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers posed by dust.

h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety regulations covering electric power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after having used it many times. Carelessness can lead to serious injuries in just a fraction of a second.

1. Using and handling the power tool

a) Do not overload your power tool. Use the correct electric tool for the job in hand. The correct tool will enable you to work better and more safely within the specific performance range.

b) Do not use an electric power tool if the switch is defective. An electric power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery pack before making any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories or putting the power tool down. These precautions will prevent the power tool starting accidentally.

d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or who have not read these instructions to use the tool. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.

e) Look after power tools plug-in tools with care. Check that moving parts function correctly and do not jam, and whether any parts are broken or damaged such that they adversely affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to

control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories, plug-in tools, etc. as set out in these instructions. Take account of the conditions in your work area and the job in hand. Using electric tools for purposes other than the one for which they are designed can result in dangerous situations.

h) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. If the handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it will not be possible to operate and control the power tool safely in unforeseen situations.

1. Using and handling the cordless tool

a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is designed for a certain type of battery may pose a fi re risk if it is used with other types of battery.

b) Use only the correct batteries in the electric tools. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and a fi re risk.

c) Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic objects that could cause a short circuit between the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or a fi re.

d) In case of incorrect use, fl uid may escape from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you touch it by accident, rinse the affected area with water. If you get the fl uid in your eyes, also seek medical advice. Leaking battery fl uid can cause skin irritation or burns.

e) Never use damaged or altered rechargeable batteries. Damaged or altered rechargeable batteries can behave unpredictably and lead to a risk of fire, explosion or injury.

f) Never expose a rechargeable battery to fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130°C pose a risk of explosion.

g) Follow all the instructions on charging and never charge the rechargeable battery or cordless tool outside the specified allowable charging temperature range. Incorrect charging or charging outside the allowable charging temperature range could cause irreparable damage to the battery and increase the risk of fi re.

GB

6. Service

a) Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.
b) Never perform maintenance work on damaged rechargeable batteries. All maintenance work on rechargeable batteries should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized after sales service outlets.

Additional safety instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum power density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.

Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.

Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating actually being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment for safety reasons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a fire risk.
12. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture, rain and high humidity can cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been exposed to moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them immediately.
13. If your equipment is fitted with a detachable battery, remove the battery for safety reasons after you have finished your work

Information on chargers and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualified electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the

GB

cordless tool out of children's reach.

1. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
2. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
3. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
4. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
5. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suff ered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
6. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10^ C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
7. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.
8. Do not use batteries which have suff ered curvature or deformation during the charging process or which show other non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,...)
9. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
10. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental influences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and an ambient temperature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 40^ C. In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell

damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been overheated – replace them immediately if possible.

1. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and cordless tools. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry places with an ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).
2. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs which were stored below 0^ C for more than 60 minutes must be disposed of.
3. When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges cause damage of the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

Batteries and cordless electric equipment contain materials that are potentially harmful to the environment. Never place any rechargeable batteries or cordless electric machines or tools in your household refuse.

The rechargeable battery should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of such a collection center, you should ask in your local council offices.

To ensure that any defective/damaged lithium-ion batteries are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

Safety Information for all Applications a) This electric tool is designed for use as a grinder/sander and cutting-off machine. Obey all the safety instructions, general instructions, illustrations and data supplied with the tool. If you fail to obey the following instructions, you may suffer an electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.

GB

b) This electric tool is not designed for sanding, working with wire brushes or polishing. Use of the electric tool in ways it was not intended could lead to dangerous situations and injuries.
c) Do not use any accessories which have not been designed and recommended by the manufacturer specifi cally for this electric tool. Just because you can attach an accessory to your electric tool, this does not guarantee that you can use it safely.
d) The maximum speed of the plug-in tool must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified on the electric tool. Accessories which rotate faster than the maximum speed may break and be catapulted out of the tool.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the plug-in tool must comply with the dimension specifications of your electric tool. Plug-in tools of the wrong size cannot be adequately screened or checked.
f) Plug-in tools with thread must fi t exactly on the thread of the grinding spindle. In the case of plug-in tools that are fl ange-fi tted, the hole diameter of the plug-in tool must fi t the mounting diameter of the fl ange. Plug-in tools that are not exactly secured to the electric tool will rotate irregularly, vibrate a great deal and might result in you losing control.
g) Do not use damaged plug-in tools. Before use, check plug-in tools such as grinding/sanding wheels for splintering and cracks, grinding/sanding disks for cracks, wear or heavy wear, and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the electric tool or the plug-in tool is dropped, check whether it is damaged or use an undamaged plug-in tool. When you have checked and fitted the plug-in tool, make sure that you and other persons in the vicinity are not on a level with the rotating plug-in tool and allow the electric tool to run for one minute at maximum speed. Damaged plug-in tools will generally break during this test time.
h) Wear personal protection equipment. Use face guards, eye protection or goggles depending on the application. If reasonable, wear a dust mask, ear protection, safety gloves or special aprons to keep small grinding and material particles away from you. Protect your eyes from flying foreign bodies which may be created by a

range of applications. Dust masks or respiration masks must fi liter the dust generated by the application. If you are exposed to loud noise for a lengthy period of time, you may suffer hearing loss.

i) Ensure that others keep a safe distance away from where you are working. Anybody who enters the area must wear personal protection equipment. Pieces of the workpiece or broken plug-in tools may be catapulted into the air and cause injuries even outside the immediate vicinity of where you are working.

j) Hold the tool only by the insulated handles when carrying out work during which the plug-in tool could strike concealed power cables or its own mains lead. Contact with a live cable will also make the metal parts of the tool live and will cause an electric shock.

k) Keep the power cable away from rotating plug-in tools. If you lose control of the machine, the mains lead may be cut or caught and your hand or arm might be pulled into the rotating plugin tool.

I) Never put the electric tool down until the plug-in tool has reached a complete standstill. The rotating plug-in tool may come into contact with the surface on which you place it which could result in you losing control of the electric tool.

m) Never leave the electric tool running whilst you are carrying it. Your clothing can come into contact with the rotating plug-in tool and the plugin tool could thus bore into your body.

n) Clean the ventilation slots on your electric tool at regular intervals. The motor fan draws dust into the housing and a heavy accumulation of metal dust can pose electric risks.

o) Never use the electric tool in the vicinity of inflammable materials. Sparks may ignite these materials.

p) Do not use any plug-in tools which require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolants could result in electric shocks.

Other safety information for all applications Recoil is the sudden reaction as a result of a jammed or blocked rotating plug-in-tool, such as a grinding wheel, grinding disks, wire brushes etc. Jamming or blocking leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating plugin-tool. This causes acceleration of any uncontrolled electric tools rotating in the

GB

opposite direction to the plug-in-tool at the point of blockage.

If for example a grinding wheel gets jammed or blocked by the workpiece, the edge of the grinding wheel could get stuck and the grinding wheel could break free or recoil, if it should come into contact with the workpiece. The grinding wheel moves toward or away from the operator, depending upon the direction of rotation of the disk at the point of blockage. Grinding wheels could also be broken if this occurs.

Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable precautions, as described below.

a) Hold the electric tool securely and move your body and your arms into a position in which you can absorb the force created by the recoil. Always use the additional handle (if there is one) to give you the maximum possible control over recoil forces or reaction moments whilst the tool is operating at full speed. The operator can manage the recoil and reaction forces by taking suitable precautions.
b) Never move your hand into the vicinity of rotating plug-in tools. The plug-in tool may catch your hand if it suffers recoil.
c) Keep your body out the area into which the electric tool will be moved if it suffers recoil.

Recoil will throw the electric tool into the direction opposite to the grinding/sanding wheel at the point at which it is blocked.

d) Work with particular care around corners, sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-in tool does not bounce off or jam in the workpiece.

At corners, sharp edges or if it bounces, the rotating plug-in tool will tend to jam. This will result in loss of control or recoil.

e) Do not use chain saw blades or toothed saw blades. These plug-in tools often cause recoil or loss of control of the electric tool.

Special safety information for grinding/sanding and cutting-off

a) Use only grinding/sanding wheels that have been approved for your electric tool and the safety hood designed for these grinding/sanding wheels. Grinding/sanding wheels which are not designed for the electric tool cannot be shielded adequately and are unsafe.

b) The safety hood must be securely fastened to the electric tool and adjusted so that it offers maximum safety, in other words it prevents the smallest possible part of the grinding/sanding wheel from striking the operator. The safety hood helps to protect the operator from broken pieces, accidental contact with the cutting-off wheel, and sparks which could ignite clothing.
c) Grinding/sanding wheels may only be used for the applications for which they are recommended. For example: Never grind/sand a side surface area with a cutting off wheel. Cutting-off wheels are designed for removing material with the edge of the wheel. Applying lateral force to these cutting-off wheels can cause them to break.
d) Always use undamaged clamping fl anges of the correct size and shape for the grinding/sanding wheel you have selected. Suitable flanges support the grinding/sanding wheel and thus reduce the risk of the grinding/sanding wheel breaking. Flanges for cutting-off wheels may differ from the flanges for other grinding/sanding wheels.
e) Do not used worn grinding/sanding wheels from larger electric tools. Grinding/sanding wheels for larger electric tools are not designed for the higher speeds of smaller electric tools and may break.
f) Offset grinding wheels must be fitted such that their grinding face does not project beyond the level of the guard hood edge. An incorrectly fitted grinding wheel that projects beyond the level of the guard hood edge cannot be adequately shielded.

Other special safety information for cutting-off wheels

a) Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel or applying excessive contact pressure. Do not make any excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting-off wheel will increase the stress on it and its susceptibility to jam or block and therefore the possibility of recoil or of the grinding wheel breaking.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting-off wheel. If you move the cutting-off wheel in the workpiece away from yourself, in the event of recoil the electric tool and the rotating wheel may be catapulted directly towards you.
c) If the cutting-off wheel jams or you interrupt your work, switch off the tool and

GB

hold it still until the wheel has reached a complete standstill. Never attempt to pull the cuttingoff wheel out of the cut whilst it is still rotating, otherwise it may suffer recoil. Find and rectify the cause of the jam.

d) Do not switch the electric tool on again whilst it is inside the workpiece. Allow the cuttingoff disk to reach its full speed before you continue the cut with care. Otherwise the wheel may catch, jump out of the workpiece or cause recoil.
e) Support panels or large workpieces to reduce the risk of recoil by a jammed cuttingoff wheel. Large workpieces may sag under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides of the wheel both near the cut and also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful with “pocket cuts” in existing walls or in areas which you cannot see clearly. As the cutting-off disk enters the cut it may suffer recoil if it cuts into gas or water pipes, electric cables or other objects.

6.6 Motor

It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation holes clean at all times.

6.7 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 maximum speed of the grinding or cutting wheel used must be higher than the idle speed of the angle grinder.
• Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a minimum speed of 8,500 rpm and a peripheral speed of 52 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.

Warning!

6.8 Operating Modes

6.8.1 Rough grinding (Fig. 11)

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.

6.8.2 Cutting (Fig. 12)

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.
