Start-Up
- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
- Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.
- Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces and auxiliary handle only. The application tool could come into contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with live wires may make metal parts of the tool live, posing a risk of electric shock.
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch forwards and then press it down.
To lock-on the pressed on/off switch , push the on/off switch further forwards.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch ; or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch and then release it.
Switch without locking mechanism (country-specific):
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch forwards and then press it down.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch .
- Always check abrasive tools before using them. The abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch to the "off" position and then switch the power tool on again.
Note: If the power tool starts up immediately after an interruption in the power supply, the restart protection feature has failed.The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Application Service" section for addresses.
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power tool is switched on and enables a smooth start-up.
Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after being switched on, this means that the soft start and restart protection mechanisms have failed. The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Application Service" section for addresses.
The power tool is fitted with an electronic brake system. When the power supply is switched off, the abrasive tool is brought to a complete stop within a few seconds. This means that the run-out time is shorter than for angle grinders without an electronic brake system and enables the power tool to be set down sooner.
Note: If the braking effect deteriorates noticeably, the electronic brake system has failed. The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Application Service" section for addresses.
The following tables describes the LED status indicators on the power tool.
Status indicator (LED) | Meaning/cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Green | Status OK | – |
Flashing red | Power tool has overheated and will switch off. | Leave the power tool to cool down. If the status indicator (LED) lights up green, the power tool can be switched on again. |
Illuminated red | Kickback shutdown,restart protection or overload protection has been triggered, the power tool will switch off. | Turn the power tool off and on again. |
