When cutting avoid tilting the Angle Grinder in the cutting plane. Ensure the cut-
ting wheel has a clean cutting edge.
To cut hard stone a diamond cutting wheel is recommended.

The armature and motor are the heart of the power tool. Exercise care to ensure
they do not become damaged or effected by oil or water.
Inspect the carbon brushes regularly and replace them when they are worn.
(about 1/3 of the way up)
Regularly inspect all mountings and screws and ensure they are properly tight-
ened. Failure to do so may result in serious damage.
Consult an authorized maintenance service agent in event of damage.
Clean and dust the Angle Grinder after each use.
Use compressed air to blow out any accumulated dust or grit. Tiny
particles from metal grinding often accumulate inside your tool and could
create an electrical shock hazard.
Never use solvents or harsh chemicals. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the casing. Never immerse any
part of the tool in a liquid. Always keep the ventilation openings clear.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
