Fitting the additional handle (Fig. 2)

• The angle grinder must not be used without the additional handle (3).
• The additional handle can be secured in any of two positions (A, B).

Tool side	Suitable for
Left (position A / as shown)	Right-handed users
Right (position B)	Left-handed users

Replacing and adjusting the guard (Fig. 3)

Replacing:

• Remove the flange nut (b) and the clamping flange underneath.
• Open the clamp lever (a) on the guard (4).
• Turn the guard (4) through 180° in a clockwise direction so that the guard points upwards.
• Remove the guard (4).

To mount, proceed in the reverse order.
Adjusting:

• Adjust the guard (4) to protect your hands so that the material being ground is directed away from your body.
• The position of the guard (4) can be adjusted to any specific working conditions. Undo the clamp handle (a) and turn the cover (4) into the required position.
• Ensure that the guard (4) correctly covers the gear wheel casing.
• Secure the clamp handle (a) again.
• Ensure that the guard (4) is secure.

Warning!
Make sure that the guard is perfectly secure.
Warning!
Never use the angle grinder without the guard.

Test run for new grinding Wheels

Allow the right-angle grinder to run in idle for at least 1 minute with the grinding or cutting wheel fi tted in place. Vibrating wheels are to be replaced immediately.

Removing and cleaning the dust guard (Fig. 4-5)

The angle grinder is equipped with a removable dust guard (10). This protects the ventilation slots and keeps the inside of the motor free of dust and dirt. Ideally, the dust guard  (10) should be removed and cleaned each time after the grinder is used.
To be able to remove the dust guard (10), press it slightly away from the housing as shown in Fig. 5  to the point where the dust guard can be pressed downwards and removed  (see the direction of the arrow). The dust guard (10) can be cleaned from the inside out using low-pressure compressed air or running water. Before you fi t the dust guard, make sure that it is fully dry.

To fi t the removable dust guard (10), proceed in reverse order.

Operation

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 6-7)

1.  Remove the battery pack (6) from the handle, pressing the push-lock button (8) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger  (7) into the mains socket outlet. The green  LED will then begin to fl ash.
3.  Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the  following:

• voltage at the power socket
•  whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charger and charging adapter
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 8/Item 9)

Press the battery capacity indicator switch (a)  The battery capacity indicator (9) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED blinks:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery pack has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery pack.

Switching on (Fig. 9)

To start the equipment, push the On/Off switch (2) forwards and press it down. To switch off the angle grinder, depress the On/Off switch (2) at the back. The On/Off switch  (2) will jump back into its starting position.
Important! 
The equipment switches to “Standby Mode” after 10 minutes of non-use.
To reactivate: Switch on the equipment twice or press the battery capacity indicator. “Standby Mode” protects the battery.
Important! 
Following a stoppage (due to overloading), the cordless equipment starts up again automatically.  Important!
Wait until the machine has reached its top speed. You can then position the angle grinder on the workpiece and machine it.

Changing the grinding wheels (Fig. 10/11)

Use the face spanner (5) supplied to change the grinding wheels. The face spanner (5) is stored in the additional handle (3). Pull the face spanner (5) out of the additional handle  (3) when you need it.
Danger! For safety reasons, the angle grinder must not be operated with the face spanner (5) inserted in it.

• 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. 11)
• 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 flat the side facing the grinding or cutting wheel.

Motor

It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilation holes clean at all times.

Grinding Wheels

• Never use a grinding or cutting wheel bigger than the specified diameter.
• Before using grinding or cutting wheel, check its rated speed.
• The maximum speed of the grinding or cutting 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 8,500 rpm and a peripheral speed of 56 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.
Warning! 
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!

Operating Mode

Rough grinding (Fig. 16)
Caution: Use the safety device for sanding/ 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.

Cutting (Fig. 17)

Caution: Use the safety device for abrasive cutting (available as an accessory, see 7.3)
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.
Warning!
It is prohibited to use the machine on asbestos materials!
Warning!
Never use a cutting wheel for rough grinding.
Note:
To increase the power and running time of the cordless equipment, we recommend using our 4.0 Ah Power-X-Change. (Art. No.: 45.113.96)
Important!
To increase the cutting performance and running time of the cordless equipment, we recommend that you use a cutting wheel with a thickness of 1 mm.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend cleaning the equipment and the removable dust guard (10) immediately each time after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
