Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When switching
the machine on and off, keep it away from dust
deposits. After switching off the machine, only place
it down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.

Working instructions
Grinding and sanding operations:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface
and move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
Roughing: position the machine at an angle of 30° -
40° for the best working results.
Separating:
Always work against the run of the disc
(see illustration). Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine kicking
back from the cut out of control. Guide
the machine evenly at a speed
suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt,
apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
9. Cleaning
Motor cleaning: blow compressed air through the
