An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the
total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
Assembly
Mounting the protective devices
Before any work on the machine itself,
pull the mains plug.
Note:
After breakage of the grinding disc during
operation or damage to the holding fixtures on the
protection guard/power tool, the machine must
promptly be sent to an after-sales service agent for
maintenance (for addresses, see section “After-
sales Service and Customer Assistance”.
Protection guard for grinding
Place the protection
guard
6
onto the spindle
collar as shown in the
illustration.
The triangle marks on the
protection guard must
correspond with the
respective marks on the
gear case.
Press the protection
guard
6
onto the spindle
collar until the shoulder of
the protection guard is
seated against the flange
of the machine, and turn the protection guard
until it can clearly be heard to engage.
Adjust the position of the protection guard
6
to
the requirements of the work process. For this,
press the release lever
2
upward and turn the
protection guard
6
to the required position.
Adjust the protection guard 6 in such a
manner that sparking is prevented in the
direction of the operator.
The protection guard 6 may be turned
only upon actuation of the release lever
2! Otherwise the power tool may not
continue to be used under any circum-
stances and must be taken to an after-
sales service agent.
Note:
The encoding keys on the protection
guard
6
ensure that only a protection guard
that fits the machine type can be mounted.
Protection guard for cutting
For cutting metal, always work with the
protection guard for cutting 6.
The protection guard for cutting
7
is mounted
in the same manner as the protection guard for
grinding
6
.
Auxiliary handle
Operate your machine only with the aux-
iliary handle 4.
Screw the auxiliary handle
4
on the right or left
of the machine head depending on the working
method.
Vibration-dampening Auxiliary Handle
The vibration-dampening auxiliary handle
reduces the vibrations, making operation more
comfortable and secure.
Do not make any alterations to the auxil-
iary handle.
Do not continue to use an auxiliary handle if it
is damaged.
Hand Guard
For operations with the rubber sanding
plate 14 or with the cup brush/wheel
brush/flap disc, always mount the hand
guard 13.
The hand guard
13
is fastened with the auxiliary
handle
4
