7.2 Changing the grinding wheels (Fig. 5)
Use the face spanner (6) supplied to change the
grinding wheels.
Pull out the power plug.
n
Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
n
Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding
wheel to latch in place.
n
Open the flange nut with the face spanner.
(Fig. 5)
n
Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten
the flange nut with the face spanner.
Important!
Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor
and grinding spindle are at a standstill!
You must keep the spindle lock pressed while
you change the wheel!
For grinding or cutting wheels up to approx. 3 mm
thick, screw on the flange nut with the flat side facing
the grinding or cutting wheel.

7.4 MOTOR
It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during
operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation
holes clean at all times.
7.5 GRINDING WHEELS
n
Never use a grinding or cutting wheel bigger than
the specified diameter.
n
Before using a grinding or cutting wheel, check
its rated speed.
n
The wheel´s rated speed must be higher than the
idle speed of the right-angle grinder.
n
Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are
approved for a minimum speed of 8,000 rpm and
a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
n
Check the direction of rotation when you use
diamond cutting wheels. The directional arrow on
the diamond cutting wheel must point in the
direction in which the tool rotates.
Take special care that the grinding/sanding wheels
are properly stored and transported. Ensure that the
grinding/sanding wheels are never exposed to shock,
jolts or sharp edges (for example during transport or
storage in a toolbox). This could cause damage (such
as cracks) to the grinding/sanding wheels and place
the user in serious danger.
7.6 OPERATING MODES
7.6.1 Rough grinding (Fig. 10)
Caution:
For the best rough grinding results, hold the grinding
wheel at an angle of between 30° and 40° to the
workpiece surface and guide back and forth over the
workpiece in steady movements.
7.6.2 Cutting (Fig. 11)
Caution:
When you use the right-angle grinder for cutting
purposes, avoid tilting it in the cutting plane. The
cutting wheel must have a clean cutting edge.
A diamond cutting wheel is best used to cut hard
stone.
It is prohibited to use the machine on
asbestos materials!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grinding.
8. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
9.1 Cleaning
n
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
n
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
