ENGLISH
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel
or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand
in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of
fi re, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark fl ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid fl ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine
in order to fi nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fi bre grinding disk), signifi cant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder
(metal residue/deposits). For safety reasons, in such
conditions a ground fault interrupter must be connected in
series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the machine must
be sent for service.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the
machine is running.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the
system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also
possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as
the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations including wet
room and open air must be connected via a residual current
device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Do not let any metal parts reach the airing slots - danger of
short circuit!
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment may
be affected. If the system impedance of the power supply is
lower than 0,2 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely to occur.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The angle grinder is intended for grinding and cutting metal,
stone and ceramic materials as well as sanding and wire
brushing.
Use the safety guard from the accessories range when
performing out cutting work.
Please refer to the instructions supplied by the accessory
manufacturer
The machine is suitable only for working without water.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fi tted with threaded hole
wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding disks
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
Always use guard with cutting guide from the accessories
range for cutting stone.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be
mounted min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fi xed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never move the workpiece towards the rotating disk
by hand.
STARTUP PROTECTION
Machines with a lockable switch are supplied with a restart
cutout. This prevents the machine restarting by itself after a
power failure. When resuming work, switch the machine off
and then switch it back on again.
STARTING CURRENT L SMOOTH START
The starting current for the machine is several times greater
than rated current. The starting current limiter reduces the
starting current to such an extent that a fuse (16 A,
slow-blow) is not tripped.
Electronic smooth start for save use prevents jerky run-up of
the machine.
