User manual KOMPERNASS PARKSIDE PWS 1100 ANGLE GRINDER

[. . . ] The IPC electronic system mode sees to it that, when working under load, the grinder cannot inadvertently become overloaded. If the grinder's nominal performance rating is reached or exceeded during use, the IPC electronic system signals to you with additional power pulses that there is an overload. These power pulses become more pronounced with increasing overload. 4 If the overloading of the grinder is increased further in spite of these warnings, the IPC electronic system activates an integrated current limiter, which restricts the overloading of the power tool by setting a maximum operating current of 11 A. These modes are designed to get the best out of the grinder and allow you to work in a safe and efficient manner. [. . . ] · Take note that working on metals can give rise to flying sparks. Make sure that nobody is placed in danger and that due of the risk of fire there are no inflammable materials nearby. ­ The angle grinder continues to rotate after it has been switched off. · Always keep the power cable well out of the grinder's working area and fed to the rear of the machine. OPERATION 1. The voltage must agree with that shown on the identification plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be used with 220 V). As a safety measure, run the angle grinder for about 30 seconds under no load. The PWS 1100 angle grinder is fitted with a specially designed switch for increased safety. TO SWITCH ON: TO SWITCH OFF: slide the ON/OFF switch forwards gently press the ON/OFF switch backwards Warning: Only use the spindle lock when the electric motor has come to a standstill. 5 SETTING THE SPEED You can set the required speed / rpm using the speed control wheel to suit your work. A practical test before you start can help you to determine the most appropriate speed to use. To increase the speed (rotation), turn the speed control wheel towards 6 (6 = highest speed). To decrease the speed (rotation), turn the speed control wheel towards 1 (1 = lowest speed). CHANGING THE GRINDING DISC Note: Only use discs that are free of contaminants, as indicated in "Important safety advice". Isolate the tool from the electrical power supply by pulling the plug from the socket. Warning: If after replacement, the grinding disc runs erratically or vibrates, it must be changed immediately. AUXILIARY HANDLE Warning: For your safety, only use the grinder with the auxiliary handle fitted. The auxiliary handle can be fitted to the left or right hand side of the grinding head to suit your way of working. MAINTENANCE OF THE ANGLE GRINDER 1. For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaners that might attack the plastic. The replacement carbon brushes supplied may only be changed and fitted at an authorised repair centre (both brushes must be changed at the same time). ADVICE ON WORKING METHODS, TIPS AND TRICKS · If the weight of the workpiece is insufficient to keep it absolutely still during grinding, then fasten it securely. · Do not press on with the grinder so much that you bring it to a standstill. · For the best grinding performance move the grinder evenly backwards and forwards over the workpiece at an angle of 15° to 30° (angle between the grinding disc and workpiece). · When working on inclined surfaces, do not press the grinder on to the workpiece with too much force. [. . . ] 1 = These accessories are not supplied with the angle grinder. Further practical tips for power tools can be found in the accompanying booklet on safety advice. We reserve the right to make technical modifications in the course of further development.
