OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary due to its own
weight.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.
Grinding and cutting discs become very hot while working; do not
touch until they have cooled.
Pull the plug from the socket-outlet when not using the
machine.
With the plug inserted and mains voltage existing, the
power tool still has low power consumption even when it switched
off.
HAND GRIP AREAS
Always hold your angle grinder firmly with both hands when
operating (See E).
ROUGH GRINDING
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the machine
at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and forth with
moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece will not become
too hot, does not discolour and no grooves are formed.
Warning! Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
CUTTING
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine. Work with
moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying

sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore,
never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the
danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.
ROTATING THE GEAR CASE
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug, and
then remove the disc and guard
The gear case can be rotated with respect to the machine housing. In
this manner, the On/Off switch can be brought to an advantageous
handling position for special working situations.
Remove the 4 x screws from the gear case. Carefully rotate the gear
case in your desired direction but do
NOT
pull the gear case out of
the housing. If the gear case comes out of the housing the motor
carbon brushes will need replacing.
Screw in the screws again and tighten. (See F)
AUTO-STOP CARBON BRUSHES
When the resin insulating tip (14) inside the carbon brush (15) is
exposed to contact the commutator(13), it will automatically shut
off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be
replaced. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the
holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
Use only identical carbon brushes. (See G)
