Operation

 Charging the Li Battery Pack

1. Remove the battery pack(6)from the handle, pressing the push lock button (8) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (7) into the mains socket outlet the green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.
4. In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
5. If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following voltage at the power socket whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit.
6. If the battery pack still fails to charge send  the charger and charging adapter and the battery pack to our customer service center.
7. To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
8. When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.
9. To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
10. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops.
11. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Switch

The angle grinder comes with a safety switch which is designed to prevent accidents. To switch on, push the On/Off switch (2) to the right and then forwards. To switch off the angle grinder, depress the On/Off switch (2) at the back. The On/Off switch (2)will jump back into its starting position wait until the machine has reached its top speed. You can then position the angle grin-der on the workpiece and machine it.

 Battery Capacity Indicator

• All 3 LEDs are lit the battery is fully charged.
• 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit the battery has an adequate remaining charge.
• 1 LED Flashes the battery is empty, recharge the battery.
• All LEDs blink
• The battery temperature is too low remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective.
• Remove the battery from the equipment.
• Never use or charge a defective battery.

Changing the Grinding Wheels

• Use the face spanner (5) supplied to change the grinding wheels.
• The face spanner (5) is stored in the additional handle (3).
• Pull the face spanner (5) out of the additional handle (3) when you need it.
• Danger for safety reasons the angle grinder must not be operated with the face spanner (5) inserted in it.
• Warning
•  Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
• Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding wheel to leech in place
• Open the flange nut with the face spanner.
• Change the grinding or cutting wheel and tighten the flange nut with the face spanner.

Notice
Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and grinding spindle are at a stand still 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.

Flange Arrangements When Using Grinding Wheels and Cutting Wheels

• Flange arrangement when using a depressed center or straight grinding wheel
  • Clamping flange.
  • Flange nut.
• Flange arrangement when using a depressed center cutting wheel
  • Clamping flange.
  •  Flange nut.
• Flange arrangement when using a straight cutting wheel
  • Clamping flange.
  •  Flange nut.

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.

 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 cut-ting 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 8,500 rpm and a peripheral speed of 52 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

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.

Cutting

• Use the safety device for abrasive cutting included in items supplied 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.
• Note
