e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work
load and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations
or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out
the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the
arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding disk), significant contamination
can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. For safety reasons,
in such conditions a ground fault interrupter must be connected in
series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the machine must be sent
for service.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
MAINS CONNeCTION
Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as indicated on
the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an
earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations including wet room and
open air must be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD,
PRCD) of 30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Do not let any metal parts enter the ventilation slots - danger of
short circuit!
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under unfavoura-
ble power supply conditions, other equipment may be affected. If
the system impedance of the power supply is lower than 0,2 Ohm,
disturbances are unlikely to occur.
STARTING CURReNT lIMITeR + SMOOTH START
WS 24-180 V, WS 24-230 V:
The starting current for the machine is several times greater than
rated current. The starting current limiter reduces the starting cur-
rent to such an extent that a fuse (16 A, slow-blow) is not tripped.
Electronic smooth start for save use prevents jerky run-up of the
machine.
SPeCIfIeD CONDITIONS Of USe
The angle grinder is intended for grinding and cutting metal, stone
and ceramic materials as well as sanding and wire brushing.
Use the cutting guard from the accessories range for cutting
application.
Please refer to the instructions supplied by the accessory
manufacturer.
The machine is suitable only for working without water.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the
spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding disks according to the
manufacturer‘s instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed disks must be mounted
min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Never move lead the workpiece towards the rotating disk by hand.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
