D ES IGN AND A PP LICATION
The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool with the II class isolation.
The power tool is driven with a single-phase, commutator motor,
whose rotational speed is reduced by means of an intersecting axis
gear. The power tool can used both for grinding and cutting. This type
of power tools is widely used for removal of burrs from metal surfaces,
weld surface processing, cutting light-wall tubes and other small
metal objects etc. They are used in engineering industry, automotive
and chemical industry. With the use of proper tools, the angle grinder
can be used not only for cutting or grinding, but also for rust and paint
coats removal.
The areas of its application include repair and construction works, not
only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be used for cutting
and grinding of construction materials, such as brick, paving stones,
ceramic tiles, etc.
The power tool is designed for dry operation only and it must not
be used for polishing. The power tool should be used according
to its purpose.

• Do not work materials that contain asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work materials, whose dust is inflammable or explosive.
During operation, the power tool produces sparks, which may ignite
emitted vapours.
• Do not use cut-off wheels for grinding. The cut-off wheels are used
to cut with its face, while grinding with lateral surface of such a cut-off
wheel threatens with its damages and puts the operate in danger of
injuries.
