Trial run for new diamond cutting
wheels Have the equipment run in idle mode for at least 1 minute with the cutting wheels fi tted. Replace vibrating wheels immediately.

Operation

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 4-5)

1. Remove the battery pack (b) from the handle, pressing the push lock button (c) 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 (d) into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
3.  Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
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

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

•  the charger and charging adapter
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

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.
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.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 6)
Press the battery capacity indicator switch (f). The battery capacity indicator (e) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.

LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

LED fl ashes:
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 me-ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Switch (Fig. 7)

The equipment comes with a safety switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
To start the equipment, push the locking lever (5) forwards and then press the On/Off switch (4).
Warning! Wait until the machine has reached its top speed.

Changing and setting the diamond cutting wheels (Fig. 8-11)
Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Removing:

• Undo the locking screw for the depth stop (6) and remove (Fig. 8)

• Swing the depth stop (7) downwards (Fig. 9)

• Slacken the screw for the flange cover (11) and open the flange cover (12) (Fig. 9)

• Press and hold the spindle lock (2) and undo the socket head screw (h) with the supplied hex key (13) (Fig. 10)

• Remove the following as shown in Fig. 11:

  • the outer flange (a)
  • the top cutting wheel (b)
  • the top inner flange (c)
  • 6x spacers (d)
  • the bottom cutting wheel (e)
  • the bottom inner flange (f)

Important! Thoroughly clean all the spacers and flanges.

Fitting:
Important! Diamond cutting wheels must always be replaced as pairs!

• Fit the bottom inner flange (f) and the bottom cutting wheel (e)
  Important! Check the direction of rotation of the cutting wheel!

• Fit the number of spacers (d) required for the groove width

• Place the top inner flange (c) – with its raised side up – onto the last fitted spacer. Important! Each spacer is approx. 3.5 mm wide. The groove width results from the number of spacers (d), the top inner flange (c) between the cutting wheels, and the thick thickness of the two cutting wheels

• Put on the top cutting wheel (b) Important! Check the direction of rotation of the cutting wheel!

• Fit any spacers (d) that might still be left over, reattach the outer flange (a), and screw the socket head screw (h) back in place.

Warning! All 6 spacers (d) must be fi tted irrespective of the desired groove width!

• Close and fasten the fl ange cover (12) and swivel the depth stop (7) back in place.
• Fasten the depth stop (7) using the locking screw for depth screw (6).
• Important! Check that all the parts are seated firmly and correctly.

Caution:
Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and grinding spindle are at a standstill! The spindle lock must be kept pressed while the wheel is being changed!

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.

Working with the masonry channel cutter (Fig. 12)

The device is fi tted with an overload cut-out. The motor will cut out if overloaded. Relieve the load on the motor immediately and allow the masonry channel cutter to cool down for approx. 1 minute without load.
Danger! The device is suitable for dry cutting only!

• Use a cable/pipe detector to check for concealed electric cables and gas and water pipes in the wall before you start using the masonry channel cutter.
• Select the desired groove width (see 6.4) and groove depth (see 5.1).

Only ever guide the device along the workpiece while switched on.

• Place the device against the wall with the roller (10) against the wall.  Switch on the device and then cut slowly into
  the wall until the stop (7) rests against the wall.

• Now you can cut the groove in the wall. Take care with the cutting direction (a) as you do so. The device must always be handled on a counterrotating basis otherwise there is a risk that it may be forced out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner.
  Caution! Cut in a straight line only. It is not possible to cut curves.

• At the end of the groove, swing the device out of the groove before you switch it off.

• You can then cut out the ridge between the two grooves with a chisel.

Important! It is prohibited to use this equipment on materials containing asbestos!

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• 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.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment that require additional maintenance.
