PLANAR SANDING/GRINDING
y For planar sanding/grinding, screw the additional handle
into the hole on the "nape" of the angle grinder (fig. 7).
y When grinding using flap discs, keep the disc at an angle
of approx. 15° relative to the grinding plane (fig. 2D).
y When planar sanding/grinding (using flap discs or sand-
paper mounted on a bearing disc), do not exert excessive
pressure on the angle grinder since the power tool's own
weight is sufficient. Move the angle grinder in circular
motions over the surface of the grounded material.
BRUSHING WITH WIRE BRUSHES
y When brushing with wire brushes, do not exert pre-
ssure on the brush as this worsens the effectiveness of
work, accelerates wear and tear of the brush and puts
too much load on the angle grinder (fig. 2E). When
using wire cup brushes, guide them at an angle of 15°
relative to the ground/sanded surface (fig. 2F).
USING
THE CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAW
WARNING
y When using saws, follow the safety instructions for
the respective power tool provided in chapter VII. and
instructions in chapter VIII.
y Prior to the saw blade cutting into the material
that is to be cut, the saw blade must be oscilla-
ting and the rest must be resting on the workpie-
ce (fig. 3F).
CUTTING OF PROTRUDING OBJECTS (FIG. 3D)
y Protruding building elements such as for example steel
reinforcement, plastic pipes, etc. can be cut off flush
with the wall.
ATTENTION
→ For cutting flush with a wall, it is necessary to
select a longer saw blade so that it can bend more
without grinding against the edge of the resting
footplate.
→ Use the intended saw blade for the given material.
→ Place the saw with the footplate on the base and
lift up the saw so that the saw blade is bent and leaning
EN
against the base and guide such a bent oscillating saw
blade to the surface of the material that is to be cut off.
Apply appropriate pressure on the saw blade to cut off the
protruding material.
CUTTING OF HOLLOW OBJECTS (FIG. 3H)
ATTENTION
y Always ensure that the length of the saw blade is suffi-
ciently longer than the diameter of the workpiece being
cut. Otherwise, there is a risk of the saw blade jamming
in the hollow cut material resulting in kickback, the rest
must be leaning on the material being cut, see fig. 3H.
PLUNGE/CURVE CUTS
(FIG. 3B AND 3C)
ATTENTION
y Only soft materials such as wood, plasterboard,
etc. may be cut using the gradual plunging
method. Never use this method for cutting metal
materials.
y For plunge cuts, use only short saw blades.
→ Lean the saw against the edge of the rest against the
surface of the material that is to be cut according to fig.
3B. or according to fig. 3C.
Bring the saw up to maximum oscillation speed by fully
pulling down the trigger and gradually lift it up with the
rest leaning on the material being cut so that the saw bla-
de cuts into the material until the saw is seated with the
full surface of the rest on the material (the rest will adapt
the angle relative to the angle of the material being cut).
Then guide the saw with appropriate downward pressure
on the nape of the saw to cut out the required line.
→ For certain tasks, e.g. for cutting into the ceiling or
when a lower slant angle of the saw blade relative to the
surface of the material being cut is required, it is possible
to install the saw blade turned around by 180° and to lead
the reciprocating saw into the cut in reverse (see fig. 3C).
USING THE CORDLESS HAMMER DRILL
ATTENTION
y When working, use certified protective aids with a suffi-
cient level of protection, particularly hearing and eye
protection, and a face mask for protection of the respira-
184
tory tract against dust, as well as suitable gloves. Inform
yourself at a store selling personal protective equipment.
y Before starting work, make sure that there are no
utility lines, e.g. electrical, water, gas, steam, etc. in
the chiselled/drilled material, since by damaging these
utility lines injury, explosion or other material damages
may result. To find these lines, use a good quality metal
and electricity detector. In the event that drawing
documentation exists for the utility lines, compare its
location with the drawing documentation.
y Hold the hammer drill with both hands on the grip
surfaces of the main and additional handle while main-
taining a firm and stable body stance. The hammer
drill has a powerful action and may thus destabilise
the user. This method of holding the power tool by the
plastic handles reduces the risk of injury by electrical
shock when a hidden electricity conduit is hit.
y If it makes sense, secure the workpiece using, for exam-
ple, a clamp or vice so that it cannot spring out and
potentially cause injuries.
CHISELLING
y The principle of chiselling is based on the gradual
destruction of material by the effect of impacts and inser-
tion of the wedge of the chisel, and thus it is necessary to
perform grooving and fluting gradually layer by layer.
DRILLING
y When drilling for extended periods into tiles and con-
crete, when strong heating of the drill bit is occurring,
it is possible to treat the drill bit prior to drilling with
a cooling emulsion sprayed from a spray bottle.
y Before putting down the hammer drill, wait until the
work tool stops moving, otherwise a rotating work tool
may trip against something while being put down and
thereby result in loss of control over the power tool.
USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION
OSCILLATING TOOL
METHOD OF WORK
1. Start the power tool using the trigger (fig. 5,
position 2). Using the control knob (fig. 5, position 6),
set the optimal oscillation speed.
185
2. Place the power tool with the work tool against the
material being worked on.
3. Move the power tool with gentle downward pressure
back and forth. In this way, excessive heat and wear
and tear will not occur in a single location on the
work tool.
ATTENTION
y Do not push down excessively on the
power tool, otherwise its work perfor-
mance will deteriorate, the work tool
will heat up significantly, become dull
and may even jam.
CUTTING
y For cutting, use saw blades that are not damaged and
that are intended for the given material. Do not use
a saw blade expressly intended for cutting wood for
cutting metal.
y Bent or blunt saw blades may break.
y Perform plunge cuts only on soft wood or plasterboard.
y Before cutting, check that there are no unwanted items
(nails, wires, etc.) present in the material being cut.
Remove any foreign objects or use an appropriate saw
blade for the purpose.
ATTENTION
y After extended use, for example when cutting tiles, the
cutting tools exhibit significant wear and tear, and this
is normal.
→ The power tool is only intend for dry cutting.
Never use water or other coolant liquids for cooling.
SANDING
y Attach a sheet of sandpaper using a Velcro zip on to
the delta plate. The sheet of sandpaper must perfectly
cover the entire sanding area of the delta plate to
prevent its damage. Sandpaper sheets are intended
for sanding wood, wooden materials, soft building
materials and metals. The following table presents
a summary of example uses of sandpaper sheets with
given grit sizes.
