binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch o the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-o wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires
by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
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, ying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of re, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark ight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Immediately switch o the machine in case of considerable vibra-
tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to
nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized bre grinding disk), signicant
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.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
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 dierent 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 o.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under unfavoura-
ble power supply conditions, other equipment may be aected. 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 ceramicmaterials 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 tted 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 xed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Never move the workpiece towards the rotating disk by hand.
The ange nut must be securely tightened before the machine is
started.
If the tool is not securely tightened with the ange nut, it is pos-
sible that the tool will lose the required clamping force when it is
decelerated.
In the event that a power failure occurs whilst the machine is
operating, the brake function will be inoperative.
ELECTRONICS
WS 13-125 XE: The built-in electronic will keep a constant speed
even under increased load. In case of overload, the rotational speed
is being reduced until machine stops.
Electronic smooth start for save use prevents jerky run-up of the
machine.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service
organization.
