On/Off switch (1) (Fig. 1)
ATTENTION
Before use, check the inserted tool to ensure all fasten-
ing parts are attached correctly.
Note:
Always switch the angle grinder on before making contact
with the material and then guide the product to the work-
piece.
Note:
If the product blocks due to overload and switches off, it
restarts automatically as soon as the cause of the block-
age is no longer present (auto-start function).
Switching on
1. Switch on the product using the on/off switch (1).
2. Press the start/stop switch (6) to start the product.
CAUTION
Always switch the product off after the work and wait
until the grinding disc has come to a complete standstill
before placing the product down.
Switching off
1. To switch off, press the on/off switch (1).
2. You can also switch off the product using the start/
stop switch (6).

Adjusting the speed
Note:
The speed can also be changed during operation.
Use the speed preselection button (2) to preselect the
speed:
1 =
lowest speed, e.g. for surface machining: Grind-
ing, polishing
6 =
highest speed, e.g. for cut-off grinding
• The set speed level is displayed under the speed pre-
selection (2).
1. Switch on the product using the on/off switch (1).
2. You can select the speed by pressing the speed pre-
selection button (2).
3. To apply the selected speed, press the on/off switch
(1) again.
We recommend determining the speed using practical
tests.
The speed that makes sense when working depends on
what tasks you are doing with the product.
When cut-off grinding, the use of a high speed is usually
not a problem. When sanding or polishing the surfaces, a
low speed is better.

Working instructions
Note:
Grinding bodies may only be used for the recommended
applications. Otherwise, it could break, be damaged or
cause injuries.
ALWAYS replace the grinding wheel if the product has
been dropped during work.
24 | GB
A grinding or cutting wheel must NEVER be knocked or
banged against the workpiece.
Especially when working on corners, sharp edges, etc.,
make sure that the grinding wheel does not jump or get
stuck. This could cause loss of control and setbacks.
NEVER use the tool with wood cutting or other saw
blades. Such saw blades, when used on a grinder, cause
frequent kickback and loss of control, which can lead to
injury.
Rough grinding
WARNING
Never use cutting wheels for roughing!
• Move the angle grinder back and forth across the
workpiece with moderate pressure.
• With soft materials, guide the roughing disc at a
flat angle across the workpiece, with hard materi-
als use a somewhat steep angle.
Cut-off grinding
WARNING
Never use roughing wheels for cutting!
• Only use approved fibre-reinforced cutting or
grinding discs that are approved for a circumferential
speed of no less than 80 m/s.
CAUTION
The grinding tool continues to run after it has been
switched off. Do not try to slow it down by pushing
against it laterally.
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices/bench
vice to hold the workpiece in place. In this manner, it
is held more securely than with your hand.
• Always switch the product off before placing it
down and wait until the product has come to a
standstill.
• Only use the product for dry cutting or dry grind-
ing.
• The additional handle must be mounted to the
product for all work.
• Do not machine material containing asbestos. As-
bestos is considered carcinogenic.
This is the right way to behave:
DANGER
Always guide the product through the work-
piece in the counter direction!
In the opposing direction, there is a risk of kick-back.
The product can be pushed out of the cut.
• Always guide the product against the workpiece
when switched on. After machining, lift the product
from the workpiece and only then switch it off.
• Always hold the product tight with both hands
during work. Make sure that you have a secure foot-
ing.
• For the best grinding effect, move the product evenly
back and forth on the workpiece at an angle of 15° to
30° (between the grinding disc and the workpiece).
