Working instructions
The removal and the surface quality are essen-
tially determined by the choice of grinding tool,
the speed setting and the pressure applied.
Only grinding tools in good working order will
yield good grinding performance and be easy
on the power tool.
Only use original grinding accessories.
Presetting the speed
Use the speed wheel
