KEEP ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE FUTURE !
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a.) This power tool is intended to fun tion as
a
sander or polisher. Failure to follow instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
b.) This ele tri power tool is not suitable for
grinding, wire brushing and utting-off oper-
ations. Uses for which the power tool is not
intended can cause hazards and injuries.
.) Do not use a essories whi h are not
designed or re ommended by the manufa -
turer spe ifi ally for this power tool. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool does not assure safe use.
d.) The rated speed of the bits and utters must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
spe ified on the power tool. Accessories that
turn faster than their rated speed can break and
fly apart.
e.) The outside diameter and thi kness of the
bits and utters must be within the apa ity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
bits and cutters cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
f.) The arbour size of dis s, flanges, grinding
dis s or other a essories must properly fit
the grinding spindle of your power tool. Bits
and cutters that do not fit the grinding spindle
of the power tool properly will turn unevenly,
vibrate very strongly and cause loss of control.
g.) Do not use damaged bits and utters. Before
ea h use, inspe t bits and utters su h as
sanding dis s for hips and ra ks, grinding
dis s for ra ks, strong wear or tear, wire
brushes for loose or broken wires. If the
power tool or bits and utters are dropped,
he k for damage or install undamaged bits
and utters. After you have inspe ted and
installed the bits and utters, keep yourself
and any other persons in the vi inity away
from the plane of the rotating bits and utters
and run the devi e at maximum rotational
speed for one minute. Damaged bits and cut-
ters usually break during this test time.
GB
- 12 -
h.) Wear prote tive equipment. Depending on
the appli ation, use full fa e prote tion, eye
prote tion or prote tive goggles. If appropri-
ate, wear a dust mask, hearing prote tion,
prote tive gloves or a spe ial apron apable
of stopping small abrasive and material par-
ti les. The eyes are to be protected from flying
debris generated during various operations.
Dust masks or respirators must filter the dust
generated during the operation. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may
suffer hearing loss.
i.) Keep other people at a safe distan e away
from your work area. Anyone who enters the
working area must wear personal prote tive
equipment. Fragments of the work piece or
broken bits and cutters can fly away and cause
injuries even beyond the immediate area of
work.
j.) Hold the devi e only by its insulated grip sur-
fa es if you perform work where the bits and
utters ould onta t hidden power ables or
your own mains able. Contact with a live
cable can energize metal device parts and
cause electric shock.
k.) Keep the mains able away from rotating bits
and utters. If you lose control of the device,
the mains cable could be cut or snagged, and
your hand or your arm could get pulled into the
rotating bits and cutters.
l.) Never set down the power tool until the bits
and utters ome to a omplete stop. Turning
bits and cutters grab the depositing surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
m.) Do not allow the power tool to run while you
are arrying it. Your clothing could get snagged
accidentally in the rotating bits and cutters,
causing the power tool to pierce your body.
n.) Regularly lean the ventilation slits of your
power tool. The motor fan sucks dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
o.) Do not use the power tool in the vi inity of
ombustible materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p.) Do not use bits and utters that require liquid
oolants. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can cause electric shock.
Ki kba k and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel,sanding band, brush or
any other accessory. Pinchingorsnaggingcauses
rapid stallingofthe rotating accessory which in
turn causes the uncontrolledpower tooltobe
forced in the direction oppositeofthe accessory’s
rotation.
Forexample,ifanabrasive wheelissnaggedor
pinchedbythe workpiece, the edgeofthe wheel
thatisentering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of thematerial causing the wheeltoclimb
outorkickout.Thewheelmayeitherjumptoward
or away from the operator, dependingondirection
of the wheel’smovementatthe pointofpinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under thesecondi-
tions.
Kickback is theresult of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
canbeavoidedbytakingproperprecautionsas
given below.
a) Maintainafirmgriponthepowertool and
position your body and armtoallowyou to
resist ki kba kfor es. The operator can con-
trol kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) Use spe ial arewhen working orners,
sharp edges et . Avoid boun ing and snag-
gingthea essory. Corners, sharp edgesor
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory andcause lossofcontrol or kick-
back.
c) Do not atta hatoothed saw blade. Such
bladescreate frequentkickback and loss of
control.
d) Alwaysfeedthebit into thematerialinthe
same dire tionasthe uttingedgeis exiting
from the material(whi h is the same dire -
tion as the hips are thrown). Feeding the tool
in the wrong directioncauses the cutting edge
of the bittoclimb outof thework and pull the
toolinthe directionofthis feed.
- 13 -
e) When using rotary files, ut-offwheels,high-
speed utters or tungsten arbide utters,
alwayshave the work se urely lamped.
These wheels will grab if they becomeslightly
cantedinthe groove, andcankickback. When
acut-off wheelgrabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. Whenarotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of
the tool.
Safety Warnings Spe ifi for Polishing:
a. Loose parts on the polishing guard,
espe ially
the fastening ords, are not permitted. Tu k
away or shorten the fastening ords. Loose,
spinning fastening cords may make contact with
your fingers or become caught in the workpiece.
Spe ial safety guidelines on sanding:
a.) Do not use any overdimensioned sanding
dis papers, but omply with manufa turer’s
spe ifi ations on sanding paper size. Sanding
papers that extend beyond the grinding disc
can cause injuries as well as lead to binding,
tearing of the sanding discs or recoil.
For use in dry environments only

2  Description of the device
Whether in use in the automotive industry following
painting, or to finish exposed metal surfaces, for
restoration, cleaning, corrosion removal or producing
that “finishing touch”, including on plastic, wood and
stone:
The WP/E angle polisher is a powerful but, nevertheless,
extremely compact device for use in every application!
A robust two-stage gearbox in a solid cast aluminium
gearbox casing transmits power from the carefully bal-
anced and extremely quiet permanent magnet DC
motor, thus providing enormous torque and a proper
working speed for the polishing tool used.
In addition, the sensitive electronic control system
enables its optimum adaptation to suit the most varied
application purposes.
This means that the right speed and adequate power
are always available to work with!
And, to ensure that power is applied under control and
the polishing tool guided exactly, the device has a com-
pact and ergonomic housing with an integrated soft
component.
It is therefore pleasant to hold at all times and can be
guided without fatigue.
Our WP/E also offers flexibility when selecting the
material to be polished. With a comprehensive choice
of carefully selected accessories, you can get started
immediately, regardless of whether you are tackling
bare metal or painted or coated surfaces! This manual
will show you how to use your angle polisher to achieve
the best results and all the other options it offers you!

6  Working with the device:
• Never work without dust protection mask and safety
glasses. Some dusts have a hazardous effect! Mate-
rials containing asbestos may not be machined!
• Do not work with damaged tools!
• Ensure the work piece is fixed securely! Loose work
pieces should be clamped in a suitable fixture. This
prevents the work pieces from flying about.
• A correct and uniform speed achieves a high perfor-
mance, not excessive contact pressure! Excessive
pressure is to be avoided: it only stresses the device

5  Commissioning
Your WP/E angle polisher is delivered ready for use and,
except for the fitting of polishing tools to the rubber
backing disc, no special commissioning measures need
to be taken.
However, please check the device and the polishing
tools for any visible wear before every use!
Always ensure your own safety!
Despite its compact size, the WP/E angle polisher is an
electric tool that harbours a certain level of risk. Always
ensure that the mains plug is disconnected when
checking the device, during cleaning or when changing
polishing tools!
5.1 Rubber  backing  disc  with  quick-action  touch
fastener (Fig. 2)
Polishing tools 1 (e.g. the polishing sponge or felt disc)
are fixed to the rubber backing disc 3 with the touch
fastener 2. Rapid and safe changing of polishing tools
therefore poses no problem when adjusting to different
materials or machining stages. When changing a pol-
ishing tool, simply pull of the tool and press on the
replacement!
The following polishing tools are included in the scope of delivery of the WP/E angle polisher:
A microfibre cloth (Article 28678) is also included with the WP/E for final cleaning of polished surfaces.
1 x Polishing sponge

and can even damage the bits and cutters!
•Hold the device without covering the ventilation
slots. If it overheats, you absolutely must shut off the
device and allow it to cool down.
Workpiece cleaning:
Naturally enough, it is essential that a dirty workpiece
be cleaned thoroughly prior to polishing! Use of sand-
paper is helpful here. Appropriate sanding sheets with
a touch fastener layer are available in our range
(www.proxxon.com).
Polishing:
Warning: 
Please ensure that the polishing tool is in a perfect con-
dition and not worn or damaged. Parts can break off
and fly about if polishing tools are worn or damaged.
This could result in injuries.
Please note:
Never work without polishing agent! Please note that
the ingredients of different polishing agents play a
decisive part in achieving the polishing effect, not the
mechanical action of the polishing tool!
Therefore, the choice of polishing agent, whether emul-
sion, wax or paste, is decisive if the desired result is to
be achieved. Please ensure that the correct agent is
selected for the material to be polished and the respec-
tive working stage.
A tube (75 ml) of metal polishing paste is included in
the WP/E angle polisher scope of delivery. A replacement
can be obtained from retailers, and these also stock
further polishing agents of all types.
Application of the polishing agent is most expedient
with the enclosed blue polishing sponge. This procedure
should be realised at as low a speed as possible to
avoid the polishing agent splashing about.
Following application of the polishing agent to the sur-
face to be polished, the polishing process can be con-
tinued as required with the polishing felt disc and pol-
ishing hood.
The complete procedure should, depending on require-
ments, be repeated until the desired result is achieved.
Finally, the workpiece should be cleaned of residual
polishing agent using the microfibre cloth.
7  Accessories for the WP/E angle polisher
Naturally enough, all the items described above (except
metal polishing paste) are also available as accessories
from Proxxon.
For more detailed information on accessories, please
request our device catalogue from the address specified
on the last page in the warranty information.
lease note in general:
Proxxon bits and cutters have been designed to work
with our machines, which makes them optimal for their
use.
We will not assume any liability whatsoever for the safe
and proper function of our devices when using third-
party bits and cutters!
Service note
Please note: The mains power input may only be
replaced by our Proxxon Service Department or a qual-
ified specialist!
8  Care and maintenance:
The device is broadly maintenance-free. For a long ser-
vice life, you should clean your unit after every use with
a soft cloth or brush.
The exterior of the housing can be cleaned with a soft,
possibly damp cloth. A mild soap or other suitable
cleaning agent may be used during this. Solvents or
cleaning agents containing alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning
alcohols etc.) should be avoided, since these can attack
plastic casings. In any event, make absolutely certain
that no liquids penetrate into the interior of the device.
8.1 ReplacingUsing the rubber backing disc (Fig. 3):
Warning:
For the following steps, it is imperative that you discon-
nect the mains plug of the device!
Caution:
A worn or damaged rubber backing disc should be
replaced immediately! Never operate your WP/E with a
defective rubber backing disc or defective polishing
