GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
 ofammableliquids,gasesordust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
 apowertool.Donotuseapowertoolwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Usepersonalprotectiveequipment.Alwaysweareyeprotection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting the power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
AGP_AGS_A5_part1.indd 2 18/02/09 10:48

GB
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep you hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
d) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bets etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) HaveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedSpitrepairserviceusingonly
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing or
abrasive cutting-off operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. Read all safety warnings,
 instructions,illustrationsandspecicationsprovidedwiththistool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c) Donotuseaccessorieswhicharenotspecicallydesignedandrecommended
by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
d) Theratedspeedoftheaccessorymustbeatleastequaltothemaximumspeed
marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
e) The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Thearboursizeofwheels,angesoranyotheraccessorymustproperlytthe
spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and my cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, tear or excess wear. If the power
tool or accessories are dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wearpersonalprotectiveequipment.Dependingontheapplication,use
face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated y various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering
 theworkareamustwearpersonalprotectiveequipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
AGP_AGS_A5_part1.indd 4 18/02/09 10:48

GB
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Donotoperatethepowertoolnearammablematerials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Donotuseaccessoriesthatrequireliquidcoolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched y the workpiece, the edge
of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions that can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintainarmgriponthepowertoolandpositionyourbodyandarmto
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
 formaximumcontroloverkickbackortorquereactionduringstart-up.
The operation can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
SafetyWarningsSpecicforGrindingandAbrasiveCutting-OffOperations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the
 specicguarddesignedfortheselectedwheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with he side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Alwaysuseundamagedwheelangesthatareofcorrectsizeandshapefor
your selected wheel.
Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges fot cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller
tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or 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 off
the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off 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.

GB
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTUCTIONS FOR POLISHING OPERATIONS
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment
strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your ngers or snag on
the workpiece.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
It is extremely important that you do not forget to read the safety requirements before
using the device for the rst time.
SafetyRequirementsspecictotheAGP230AVandAGS230M:
• Check that the speed marked on the blade is equal to or greater than the speed
indicated on the angle grinder.
• Verify that the dimensions of the blade are compatible with those of the angle grinder.
• Maintain abrasive blades with care and handle them in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
• Before use, carefully check to see that no cracking, chipping, or other defects are
present on the blade. Never use a damaged blade with the device.
• Ensure that the abrasive wheel is correctly mounted and assembled in accordance
with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
• Utilise disc anges supplied with the abrasive tool if necessary.
• Before using the grinder, check to see that the abrasive wheel is correctly mounted
and allow the device run unimpeded for 30 seconds in a safe position. In the case of
excessive vibration, turn the angle grinder off immediately and examine it thoroughly
to determine the cause.
• If a safety-guard is provided with the tool, be sure to use it at all times while
operating the angle grinder.
• Never use bushings or large-hole adaptors for the abrasive tools that were not
provided by the manufacturer.
• Ensure that any wire wheel is compatible with the size of the axis, if the tool is to be
used with a wire wheel.
• Ensure that the work piece is supported sufciently and held rmly in place before
using the angle grinder.
• Take extra care that sparks given off during the work do not cause any undue risk,
in particular that no one is injured and that no ammable substances are ignited.
• Make sure that the air-slits of the ventilator are kept open when working in a dusty
or dirty environment. Should it become necessary to using the angle grinder, clear
material from the openings, rst separate the work tools from machine (use only
non-metal objects) and take extra care to avoid damaging any internal components.
• Always use safety glasses and ear protectors. Other personal safety items such as
full-face visors, work gloves, helmet and aprons are highly recommended.
• Be aware that the saw continues to rotate after the device is switched off.

INTENDED USE
The AGP 230AV is intended for cutting metal and stone materials and for roughing
stone materials without using water.
The AGS 230M is intended for cutting metal and stone materials without using water.
For cutting stone, a cutting guide is required.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Before use
The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool.
Because the tool falls into Class II category, under normal usage it does not need to be
specially earthed.
Under no circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is
damaged. The use of a damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.
Check, and if necessary, clear the air-slots for proper ventilation.
Handgrip
For safety purposes, the machine must always be used with the side handgrip placed in
one of the 3 xed positions (1), or the safety-guard handgrip / locked handgrip with the
2 supplied xing nuts (2).

Dust guard
Attaching the safety-guard before use is obligatory, and ensures a higher degree of
safety for the user. The direction of the safety guard is adjustable. For the AGP 230AV
no tools are necessary, you can use the clamping lever (3). For the AGS 230M you
need a screwdriver (4).
Starting limiter
Thanks to the electronic safety system, the machine starts slowly (because of a starting
limiter). This makes the machine more safe, which is especially useful in a limited
working area due to the absence of the starting revolutionary movements.

revolutions as a result of electromagnetic disruptions.
Extension cord
When an extension cord is used, use an approved cable that is suitable for the capacity
of the machine (see the table below). This is very important for maintaining the capacity
of the motor.

Mounting the grinding discs
Pay attention to the dimensions of the grinding discs. The mounting hole diameter must
t the mounting ange without play. Do not use reducers or adaptors.
When using a diamond cutting disc, take care that the direction of rotation arrow on
the disc and the direction of rotation of the machine (direction of rotation arrow on
the machine head) agree.
Unplug the machine (1)
Place the under ange (2)
Place the diamond disc (3)
Place the upper ange and tighten it with the double pin wrench (4)

After mounting the grinding disc and before switching on the machine, check that
the grinding tool is correctly mounted and that it can run freely.
Switching the machine on and off
To switch on
To start the machine, press the on/off switch forward and then down (1)
The safety button on the switch ensures that it is not accidentally switched on.
To switch off
Release the on/off switch (2)
HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this powerful tool requires two-handed operation for maximum safety
and control.
The proper position is to keep one hand on the main handle and the other hand on the
auxiliary handle or D-handle. It is vitally important to keep stable footing at all times,.
Mounting the D-handle
Unplug the machine (1)
Place the handle in the desired position and tighten the 2 thumb screws (2)

Cutting operations
The machine must be used only for dry cutting!
When cutting, do not press, jam or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move
the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
For cutting, especially hard material, the diamond cutting disc can overheat and
become damaged as a result. This is clearly indicated by circular sparking, rotating with
the diamond cutting disc. In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the
diamond disc to cool by running freely at no-load speed for a short time.
Noticeable decreasing work progress and circular sparking are indications that
the diamond disc has become dull. Briey cutting into abrasive material can resharpen
the disc.
Turning the machine handle (only for AGP 230AV)
The handle can be turned with respect to the motor housing by 90° either to the left or
right side. This allows the on/off switch to be positioned more conveniently for certain
working situations.
Unplug the machine (1)
Pull the handle unlocking button (2)
Turn the handle in the desired position until it engages (3)

MAINTENANCE
Keep the tool clean
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should
be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
The carbon brushes
This machine has self-interrupting carbon brushes whose purpose is to automatically
cut the power when the carbon brushes have reached a certain degree of wear.
If this occurs, replace the two worn-out carbon brushes.
To inspect or replace the carbon brushes, rst unplug the machine.
Loosen the two screws completely.
Remove the carbon brush covers at the back on both sides of the tool. With the help of
a screwdriver, lift the spring and remove the brushes from the carbon brush holder.
Check the length of the brushes. Replace both brushes when they have less then
10 mm length.
When replacing the carbon brushes, pull the conductors form their position, lift up the
carbon brush via the spring, remove it and replace it with the new brush facing in
the opposite direction.
After checking or replacing the carbon brushes, replace the carbon brush covers and
ensure that you do not damage the conductors.
Screw in the two screws rmly. Before using the machine again, let it run freely for
a few minutes so that the carbon brushes can nd their place.
All other repairs and/or maintenance have to be done by a Spit service centre.
Dispose of your appliance, accessories and packaging in an environment-friendly
manner.
