Adjusting the guard
To adjust the tool to the task at hand, the
guard hood can be adjusted by 12 notches

Pull out the mains plug.
Turn guard hood opposite to the
direction-of-rotation arrow on the gear
head to the required position.
Work instructions
NOTE
When the power tool is switched off,
the grinding tool continues 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
WARNING!
A special cutting guard must be used for
cutting.
See manufacturer’s accessories catalogue.
– Do not press, tilt or oscillate the power
tool.
– The angle grinder must always be
operated backwards.
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 cut: the harder the material, the slower
the feed.

turer’s products go to www.flex-tools.com.
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. Frequency of cleaning is
dependent on the material and duration of
use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and
motor with dry compressed air.
