securely.
B) For thick grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (15) faces down-
wards so that the clamping nut can be attached
securely to the spindle.

8 Use
8.1 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 switching on the machine accidentally:
always switch it off when the battery pack is
removed from the machine.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in a
safe position and concentrate.
Machines with slide switch:
0

8.2 Working instructions
Grinding:
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.
Sanding:
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.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
9 Cleaning
Clean the dust filter regularly: remove and clean
with a jet of compressed air.
10 Troubleshooting
The electronic signal display (7) lights up
and the load speed decreases. The
temperature is too high! Run the machine in
idling until the electronics signal indicator switches
off.
The electronic signal display (7) flashes
and the machine does not start. The
restart protection is active. The machine will
not start if the battery pack is inserted while the
machine is on. Switch the machine off and on
