Operation

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
When operating the machine with power from mobile genera-
tors that do not have sufficient reserve capacity or are not
equipped with suitable voltage control with starting current
amplification, loss of performance or untypical behavior can
occur upon switching on.
Please observe the suitability of the power generator being
used, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and fre-
quency.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, push the On/Off switch 4 forwards.
To lock the On/Off switch 4, press the On/Off switch 4 down
at the front until it latches.
Speed preselection
The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel 3 (also while running).
The data in the following table are recommended values.
Material Application
Metal Removing paint
Wood, metal Brushing, rust removal

Working Advice

Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
see Section "Information on Structures ".
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary
due to its own weight.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a
standstill.
After heavily straining the power tool, continue to run
it at no-load for several minutes to cool down the acces-
sory.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
have cooled down. The discs can become very hot while
working.
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the ma-
chine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece

To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 4 or,
if it is locked, briefly push down the back of the On/Off switch
4 and then release it.
Check grinding tools before using. The grinding tool
must be mounted properly and be able to move freely.
Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load.
Do not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating grind-
ing tools. Damaged grinding tools can burst and cause in-
juries.
Reduced starting current
The electronic reduced starting current limits the power con-
sumption when switching the tool on and enables operation
from a 13 ampere fuse.
Constant Electronic Control
Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no-
load and under load, and ensures uniform working perform-
ance.

Sanding disc
Cup brush, sanding disc
Grinding disc
Grinding disc
Cutting disc and cutting guide
(Cutting masonry/stone is permitted only with use
of the cutting guide)
will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves
are formed.
Flap Disc
With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces and profiles
can be worked.
Flap discs have a considerably higher service life, lower noise
levels and lower sanding temperatures than conventional
sanding sheets.
Cutting Metal
For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the pro-
tection guard for cutting 12.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the mate-
rial being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt
or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by ap-
plying sideward pressure.
