Smooth Start-Up; Overload Protection; Thermal Overload Protection; Maintenance - Protool WCP 32 Originalbetriebsanleitung

8.1

Smooth start-up

After switching on the machine, regulation elec-
tronic circuits provide for a smooth start-up up to
the operating speed without unnecessary kicks.
This decreases the wear of gears, and increases
machine lifetime.
8.2 Overload protection (detail)
The indication light [1-9] is ON (green) during nor-
mal operation. If machine load is high, the light
blinks in green colour. Under machine overload
condition, the indication light is ON (orange), and
the machine shows loss of power. When load is
removed, the machine achieves full power again.
If machine overload is present for more than 4 sec-
onds, it will be shut off. To perform a restart, the
machine must be turned off and on by the switch
[1-1]. Before commencing work again, allow the
machine to reach maximum idle speed.
8.3

Thermal overload protection

If you work with the tool for longer periods of time
under high load conditions, the thermal protection
switches the motor to cooling mode (lower speed)
that protects the motor against damage. This mode
is indicated by alternative blinking of the indication
lights in green and orange. After having cooled
down, i.e. after about 30 seconds, the machine re-
turns to the operating speed level again. In case an
overheated machine is switched off and restarted
again, the motor enters the cooling mode.
Causes of overheating: excessive pressure, de-
viation of tool from perpendicular position, bad
quality or excessive wear of disc.

Maintenance

- The unit should be stored in a dry place where
it is protected against freezing.
- The ventilation holes on the motor casing must
not get blocked up.
- The cable may only be replaced in a specialised
electrical workshop qualifi ed to perform such
work.
After approx. 200 hours of use the following main-
tenance work must be performed:
- Check the length of the brushes. Brushes shorter
than 5 mm should be replaced.
- The machine turns itself off automatically when
the brushes are worn out. The machine must be
sent to a service centre for maintenance.
WARNING
To preserve the protection class the machine
must undergo a safety inspection; this must
be done in a specialised electrical workshop
qualifi ed to perform such work.
- Service – see enclosed sheet.
10 Environmental Protection /
Disposal
Power tools, accessories and packaging should be
sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
Only for EC countries:
Do not dispose of power tools into house-
hold waste!
According to the European Directive 2002/96/EC
on waste electrical and electronic equipment and
its incorporation into national law, power tools that
are no longer suitable for use must be separately
collected and sent for recovery in an environmen-
tal-friendly manner.

11 Warranty

For our tools, we give warranty for material and
production defects in accordance with the locally
applicable legal provisions, but in any case for at
least 12 months. Within the EU member states, the
warranty period is 24 months (verifi cation through
invoice or delivery note).
Damage caused by, in particular, natural wear,
overloading, incorrect handling, or damage caused
by the operator, or damage caused through use of
the equipment contrary that specifi ed in the Oper-
ating Instructions, or damage which was known at
the time of purchase, is not covered by the war-
ranty. Furthermore, damage caused by the use of
non-original PROTOOL accessories and consumable
material (e.g. sanding pads) is also excluded.
Complaints can only be recognised if the tool is
returned while still assembled to the supplier or an
authorised PROTOOL Customer Service workshop.
Keep the Operating Instructions, Safety Instruc-
tions, Spare Parts List and purchase receipt in a
safe place. Otherwise the respective, current war-
ranty condi tions of the manufacturer shall apply.
