It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation holes clean at all times.

Grinding Wheels

Never use a grinding or cutting wheel bigger than the specified diameter.
Before using a grinding or cutting wheel, check its rated speed.
The maximum speed of the grinding or cutting wheel used must be higher than the idle speed of the angle grinder.
Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a minimum speed of 6.500 rpm and a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
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.

Operating Modes

**Rough grinding (Fig. 11)

Caution: Use the safety device for sanding/grinding (included in items supplied).
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.
