Simple wheel change by spindle lock:
•
Press the spindle lock and allow the grinding
•
wheel to latch in place.
Open the flange nut with the face spanner.
•
(Fig. 5)
•
Change the grinding or cutting wheel and
•
tighten the flange nut with the face spanner.
Notice!
Only ever press the spindle lock when the
motor and grinding spindle are at a standstill! You must keep the spindle lock pressed
while you change the wheel!
For grinding or cutting wheels up to approx. 3 mm
thick, screw on the fl ange nut with the fl at side
facing the grinding or cutting wheel.

than the specified diameter.
Before using a grinding or cutting wheel,
•
check its rated speed.
The maximum speed of the grinding or cut-
•
ting wheel used must be higher than the idle
speed of the angle grinder.
Use only grinding and cutting wheels that are
•
approved for a minimum speed of 12,000 rpm
and a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
Check the direction of rotation when you use
•
diamond cutting wheels. The directional arrow
on the diamond cutting wheel must point in
the direction in which the tool rotates.
Take special care that the grinding/sanding
wheels are properly stored and transported.
Ensure that the grinding/sanding wheels are
never exposed to shock, jolts or sharp edges (for
example during transport or storage in a toolbox).
This could cause damage (such as cracks) to the
grinding/sanding wheels and place the user in
serious danger.
Warning!
6.6 Operating Modes
6.6.1 Rough grinding
Caution: Use the safety device for san-
ding/grinding (included in items supplied).
For the best rough grinding results, hold the grinding wheel at an angle of between 30° and 40° to
the workpiece surface and guide back and forth
over the workpiece in steady movements.
6.6.2 Cutting
Caution: Use the safety device for abrasi-
ve cutting (available as accessory, see 8.4)
When you use the right-angle grinder for cutting
purposes, avoid tilting it in the cutting plane. The
cutting wheel must have a clean cutting edge.
A diamond cutting wheel is best used to cut hard
stone.
It is prohibited to use the machine on as-
bestos materials!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grin-
ding.
