Operation
Tips and notes on handling the cordless angle grinder
The power tool must always be held with both
hands.
During operation hold onto the power tool's handle and
additional handle with both hands and make sure you
stand firmly on the ground.
General information:
•
Carry out a test run of approx. 1 minute without load prior
to every disc change and every start-up in order to check
the cutting disc for correct fit.
•
Only use tools which are approved for the device used.
•
Before every application, make sure that you have selected
the correct tool for the intended use.
•
Check the tool in the tool holder for proper fit before every
application. The tool must be firmly locked in place in the
designated holding fixtures on the tool holder.
•
Check whether the cutting disc can rotate freely. Make
sure that the disc does not touch the guard or any other
parts.
•
Only use discs with a speed imprinted that is at least as
high as the speed indicated on the device's nameplate.
•
Clamp the workpiece unless it is firmly and safely
positioned by its own weight.
•
Do not overload the device so that it comes to a standstill.
•
After operation at high load, let the device run at idle for
several minutes to allow the tool to cool down.
•
Do not touch the discs until they have cooled down.
•
Keep the venting slots clear to prevent the motor from
overheating.
Cutting:
•
Only use intact, flawless cutting discs. Bent, blunt or
otherwise damaged cutting discs could break.
•
Never use the cutting disc for roughing!
•
Only advance moderately during operation and make sure
that the cutting disc does not get jammed.
•
Do not slow down the decelerating cutting disc by pressing
against the side of the disc.
•
Always move the cutting disc through the workpiece in
reverse rotation.
Sanding
•
Maintain a consistent grinding pressure when moving the
device back and forth over the area.
•
You'll obtain better results if the machining process not
only involves one single work cycle, but if you move over
the surface several times with the tool. To do so, use a
positioning angle of approx. 30°.
Inserting the wire brush:
•
Guide the tool over the workpiece only applying light
grinding pressure.
•
For polishing, buffing or cleaning with a wire brush, select
the lowest speed level to prevent the brush and material
from damage.
Polishing:
•
Make sure that the surface to be treated and the polishing
bonnets are free from dirt. Dirt particles can cause
scratches on the surface.
•
Slowly guide the device along the surface to be polished.
Do not apply grinding pressure.
•
If there are any areas difficult to access, remove the
polishing bonnet from the polishing disc and treat the
areas manually.
•
Make sure that the paint to be treated has been thoroughly
cleaned and is completely dry. Heavily oxidised paint
requires a special cleaning agent.
•
Only use high-quality products for waxing and polishing
and observe the process information of the manufacturer
specified on the packaging.
