7 Operation

WARNING
Always use the side handle with the power tool (use
the hoop handle as an option).
CAUTION
The insert tool may get hot during use. Wear protective
gloves when changing insert tools.
7.1 Rough grinding
CAUTION
Never use abrasive cutting discs for grinding.
Best results are obtained when the disc maintains an
angle of 5° to 30° with the working surface when grinding.
Move the power tool to and fro while applying moderate
pressure. This will avoid overheating and discoloration of
the workpiece and ensure an even surface finish.

nut 12
NOTE
The arrow on the upper surface of the nut must be within
the index marks. If the arrow is not within the index marks
when the nut is tightened it will be impossible to release
the nut by hand. In this case, use the pin wrench to
release the Kwik lock nut (do not use a pipe wrench!).
1. Remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Clean the clamping flange and the quick-release
clamping nut.
3. CAUTION The clamping flange is equipped with
an O-ring. If this O-ring is missing, the clamping
flange must be replaced.
Fit the clamping flange onto the drive spindle.
4. Fit the disc.
5. Screw the Kwik lock clamping nut onto the spindle
until it contacts the disc (the side with the lettering
should be visible after the nut is screwed on).
6. CAUTION The spindle lockbutton may be
pressed only
motionless. There is otherwise a risk of causing
irreparable damage to the gearing or that the disc
works loose.
Press the spindle lockbutton and hold it in this
position.
7. Use the wrench to tighten the clamping nut or,
respectively, rotate the disc firmly by hand in a
clockwise direction until the Kwik lock nut is tight,
then release the spindle lockbutton and remove the
wrench (where applicable).
6.7.2 Removing discs secured with Kwik lock
1. Remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Release the Kwik lock nut by turning the knurled ring

Kwik lock nut if very tight. Do not use a pipe wrench.)
7.2 Cutting
When cutting, apply moderate feed pressure and do not
tilt the power tool or, respectively, the cutting disc (hold
at approx. 90° to the surface being cut). For best results,
start cutting at the smallest cross section when cutting
profiles and square tube.
7.3 On / off switch with switch-on interlock 13
The on / off switch with safety lock (switch-on interlock)
gives you full control of the switch function and avoids
unintentional restarting.

unlock the on / off switch and then press the switch
fully.
2. The safety lock (switch-on interlock) returns auto-
matically to the locked position when the on / off
switch is released.
