3. Now make the separating cut by pressing down
the machine head (12) evenly. Attention! The
cutting wheel must not vibrate or bounce as this
would reduce the quality of the cut or even break
the cutting wheel. Also, the cutting speed must not
be reduced at the end of the cutting process as
this prevents the workpiece from overheating and
avoids an increase in burr formation.
Note: The number of cuts per cutting wheel and
their quality can vary considerably due to the cut-
ting times. Quick cuts can lead to faster wearing
of the cutting wheel but they also serve to reduce
discolouration and burr formation.
9. Storage and transport
Store the device and its accessories out of the reach of
children in a dark and dry place above freezing temper-
ature. The optimum storage temperature lies between
5 and 30 °C. Store the electric tool in the original pack-
aging.
Proceed particularly carefully when storing cut-
ting wheels:
• Clean and dry well. ATTENTION: DO NOT clean
synthetic resin cutting wheels with water or other
liquids!
• Always store flat.
• Moisture, frost, direct sunlight, high temperatures
and fluctuations in temperature must be avoided
otherwise there is a risk of breakage and splinters!
• The minimum service life must be observed before
reusing synthetic resin cutting wheels (embossing
on the supporting ring - quarter/year). If the min-
imum service life is exceeded, the cutting wheel
must NOT be used.
• Always check new or stored cutting wheels
for damage before use and test at the specified
maximum speed for at least 60 seconds before the
first cutting process, while no part of the body or a
person may be in the extended pivot range of the
cutting wheel.
Transport (Fig. 1)
Attention! Disconnect the mains plug before trans-
porting the machine.
To put the machine into the transport position from the
working position, proceed as follows:
1. Press the machine head (12) on the handle (15)
down and hold it in this position.
2. Hook the chain (10) into the transport lock (11).
3. Transport the machine using the handle (15).
10. Maintenance and cleaning
m Warning! Pull out the mains plug before carrying
out any adjustments, maintenance or repair work!
General maintenance tasks
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device directly
after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can
penetrate the device interior.
• Oil the rotating parts once monthly to extend the life
of the tool. Do not oil the motor.
• Clean dust collection systems by purging with com-
pressed air.
Carbon brushes
If excessive sparks are generated, have an electri-
cian check the carbon brushes. Attention! The car-
bon brushes must only be replaced by an electrician.
