Warning: The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values were measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

Warning:
The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specifi ed during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
Do not overload the appliance.
Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Fitting the additional handle (Fig. 2)
- The angle grinder must not be used without the additional handle (3).
- The additional handle can be secured in any of two positions (A, B).

Tool side	Suitable for
Left (position A / as shown)	Right-handed users
Right (position B)	Left-handed users

Adjusting the guard (Fig. 3)

The guard (4) is equipped with an automatic latching function so that it can be adjusted without you having to release a lever or similar.
To protect your hands, adjust the guard (4) so that the ground material is directed away from your body.
Do this by simply turning the guard (4) into the required position.
No additional fastening of the guard (4) is needed.
The guard (4) cannot be removed from the tool.

Fitting/removing the cutting wheel guard
(Fig. 4-6/Item 6)

The angle grinder is equipped with a removable cutting wheel guard (6).
The guard (4) does not need to be replaced in order for you to fit the cutting wheel guard.
Beginning from the end with the lug (Fig. 4/ Item b), push the removable cutting wheel guard (6) onto the guard.
Make sure when doing so that the guard (4) lies between the guide ribs (g) of the removable cutting wheel guard (Fig. 4).
Then push the removable cutting wheel guard counter-clockwise onto the guard until you hear this guard latch in place (Fig. 4).
To take off the removable cutting wheel guard (6) again, press the lug (b) slightly away from the guard (4) as shown in Fig. 6 until you can rotate the removable cutting wheel guard (6).
Now turn the cutting wheel guard clockwise and off the guard (4).

Test run for new grinding Wheels
Allow the right-angle grinder to run in idle for at least 1 minute with the grinding or cutting wheel fitted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be replaced immediately.

Operation

Switch (Fig. 7)
To start the equipment, push the On/Off switch (2) forwards and press it down. 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 grinder on the workpiece and machine it.

Changing the grinding wheels (Fig. 8/9)
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.
Important! For safety reasons, the angle grinder must not be operated with the face spanner (5) inserted in it. Pull out the power plug.

Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding wheel to latch in place.
Open the flange nut with the face spanner.
(Fig. 9)
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 fl ange nut with the fl at side facing the grinding or cutting wheel.

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 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 12,000 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. 14)
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 (Fig. 15)

Caution : Use the safety device for abrasive cutting
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.

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.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug 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.

Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

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