penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or an electrical shock)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with
• Be careful when cutting grooves, especially in supporting walls (slots in supporting walls are subject to
country-specific regulations; these regulations are to be observed under all circumstances)
• Clamp the work piece in case it does not remain stationary from its own weight
• Do not clamp the tool in a vice
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
• Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under unfavourable power supply conditions, other
equipment may be affected (if the system impedance of the power supply is lower than 0,104 + j0, 065
Ohm, disturbances are unlikely to occur); if you need further clarification, you may contact your local power
supply authority
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect
the plug;
• Never use the tool with a damaged cord
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• In case of current interruption or when the plug is accidentally pulled out, unlock the on/off switch
immediately in order to prevent uncontrolled restarting
AFTER USE
• After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the accessory by a lateral force applied against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of
the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended

This front handle incorporates a flexible vibration absorbing mounting between the bolt and handle grip to
reduce vibration and increase comfort.
Mounting the guard (Fig.7)(Fig.8)
1. Carefully fit the clamp of the guard on the spindle shaft.
2.Turn the guard so that the exposed part of the disc is located as far as possible from your hand on the
handle
Mounting a disc Risk of injury!
Caution, a used disc may be very hot!
1. Pull the mains plug.
2. Press and hold down the spindle locking mechanism.
3. Unscrew the flange nut with the hook wrench.
Mounting cut-off, grinding and buffing discs (Fig.9)(Fig.10)
These discs are not included in the product contents. The diameter of the discs used may not exceed
180mm/230mm. The permissible speed specified on the discs must be greater than the max, speed of your
angle grinder (see Technical data).
1. Mount the flange C on the spindle shaft D with the groove forward and turn it until it locks into place and
is securely seated on the spindle.
2. Place the disc on the flange C with the swell forward.
3. Depending on the disc type, screw the flange nut B onto the spindle as shown in the following figures:
- Grinding disc
For thick grinding discs, the protruding ring E of the flange nut B must extend into the disc hole.
-Cut-off disc
For thin cut-off discs, the protruding E of the flange nut B must be pointing to the outside.
4.Press and hold down the spindle locking mechanism on the upper side of the device. Tighten the flange
nut with the hook wrench. Then release the spindle locking mechanism.
5.Check whether the mounted disc is able to freely rotate under the guard.
6.Keep the device away from your body. Insert the plug in a socket, turn on the device and let it run for
approximately 30 seconds without applying a load. Pull the plug and check whether the disc is firmly
seated.
Activating/deactivating
Caution!
Before you start working with the two-handed angle grinder, check whether the voltage stated on the
specification plate of the angle grinder corresponds to the available grid voltage.
Activating (Fig.6)
1. Insert the mains plug in a properly installed socket.
2. Press the safety button (3) and then the On/Off switch (4).
3.Push forward switch knob (3) and press down switch (4) to start the angel grinder, release switch (4) to
stop the grinder, for a continuous running, push forward switch knob (3) again and release switch (4) to lock
the switch; press down switch (4) to unlock the switch.
Deactivating
- Release the On/Off switch (4).
Locking the handle element in place(Fig.4)
You can rotate the handle element by 90° to the right or left.
1. Push back and hold the sliders (6) .
2. Turn the handle element to the desired direction.
3. Release sliders to lock the handle element in place.
Adjusting the guard (Fig.5)
1.Turn the guard so that the exposed part of the disc is located as far as possible from your hand on the
handle.
2. Secure the guard with a clamp that is held in place with a screw.
Note:
If applicable, you must stop working in order to adjust the position of the guard.
Grinding and fine grinding
"Grinding" refers to working on a surface with a very coarse tool (e. g. a file or sandpaper). When grinding,
a large amount of material is removed, this is therefore always the first work step. Afterwards, the surface
