b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,

do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard.

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due

to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions

When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that

no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no

combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight

zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is

running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibra-

tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to

find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with

the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding disk), significant

contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. For

safety reasons, in such conditions a ground fault interrupter must

be connected in series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the

machine must be sent for service.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short

circuit!

MAINS CONNECTION

Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as indicated on

the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an

earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations including wet room

and open air must be connected via a residual current device (FI,

RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.

WS 22-180, WS 22-230, WS 24-230 GV:

Inrush currents cause

short-time voltage drops. Under unfavourable power supply

conditions, other equipment may be affected. If the system

impedance of the power supply is lower than 0,2 Ohm, disturbances

are unlikely to occur.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The angle grinder is intended for grinding and cutting metal, stone

and ceramic materials as well as sanding and wire brushing.
Use the cutting guard from the accessories range for cutting

application.
Please refer to the instructions supplied by the accessory

manufacturer.
The machine is suitable only for working without water.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,

ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the

spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding disks according to

the manufacturer‘s instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed disks must be moun-

ted min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with

the machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.

Never move the workpiece towards the rotating disk by hand.

RESTART CUTOUT

WS 22-180 E, WS 22-230 E, WS 24-230 GEV:

Machines with a lockable switch are supplied with a restart cutout.

This prevents the machine restarting by itself after a power failure.

When resuming work, switch the machine off and then switch it

back on again.

STARTING CURRENT LIMITER

WS 22-180 E, WS 22-230 E, WS 24-230 GEV:

The starting current for the machine is several times greater than
