5.4 Test run for new grinding Wheels

Allow the right-angle grinder to run in idle for at least 1 minute with the grinding or cutting wheel fitted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be replaced immediately.

6. Operation

6.1 Switch (Fig. 5)

The angle grinder is secured against being switched on unintentionally.

To switch on: First press the auxiliary button (b) on the top side of the handle and then the main lever of the On/Off switch (2). The On/Off switch can be locked in place for continuous operation. With the On/Off switch (2) pressed, press the auxiliary button (b) and then let go of the On/Off switch.

To switch off: Let go of the On/Off switch (2); if it was locked, press it and then let go.

Restart safeguard

If the mains power supply is interrupted (or there is a temporary power failure for t > 0.5 s ,) when the switch is locked in the On position, the electric tool will not run after the power supply is restored. For the equipment to run, the switch must be turned off and then on again.

Soft start function (starting current limit) The equipment has a soft start function for preventing jerky movements when starting.

⚠ Wait until the machine has reached its top speed. You can then position the angle grinder on the workpiece and machine it.

6.2 Changing the guard (Fig. 3)

• Press the clamping lever (a) and turn the guard (4) as shown in Fig. 3.
• Remove the guard.
• To fit the guard, push it onto the equipment with the clamping lever pressed as shown in Fig. 3.

6.3 Changing the grinding wheels (Fig. 6)

Use the face spanner (5) supplied to change the grinding wheels.

Important! For safety reasons, the angle grinder must not be operated with the face spanner (5) inserted in it.

Pull out the power plug.

• Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
- Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding wheel to latch in place.
- Open the flange nut with the face spanner. (Fig. 6)
- Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten the flange nut with the face spanner.

⚠️ Important!

Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and grinding spindle are at a stand-still! You must keep the spindle lock pressed while you change the wheel!

For grinding or cutting wheels up to approx. 5 mm thick, screw on the flange nut with the flat side facing the grinding or cutting wheel.

6.5 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.

GB

6.6 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 wheel's rated speed must be higher than the idle speed of the right-angle grinder.
• Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a minimum speed of 6,600 rpm and a peripheral speed of 80 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.

6.7 Operating Modes

6.7.1 Rough grinding (Fig. 11)

⚠ Caution: Use the safety device for sanding/grinding (included in items supplied). 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.

6.7.2 Cutting (Fig. 12)

⚠ Caution: Use the safety device for abrasive cutting (available as accessory, see 8.4)

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.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Carbon brushes

The equipment has self-disconnecting carbon brushes. These brushes become worn and therefore must be checked from time to time and be replaced if necessary. Important! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

8.3 Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
