FAQs
What is the maximum cutting depth?
The maximum cutting depth for the Einhell TE-AG 18 Li is 28mm with a 115mm disc.
Can I use batteries from other brands with this grinder?
No, this grinder is designed exclusively for Einhell's Power X-Change 18V rechargeable batteries.
How do I ensure safe operation?
Always wear appropriate safety gear (goggles, gloves, hearing protection). Use the quick-adjust guard, soft start, and restart safeguard. Ensure the disc is properly mounted and never remove the guard. Only use the tool for its intended purpose.
What is the purpose of the soft start function?
The soft start function gradually brings the disc up to its operating speed, preventing sudden jolts and allowing for more controlled starting of cuts or grinding.
How long does the 4.0Ah battery typically last?
Battery life varies significantly depending on the task intensity, material being worked on, and user technique. For light tasks, it can last for a considerable duration, while intensive cutting may require recharging sooner.
Can this grinder be used for metal cutting and grinding?
Yes, this angle grinder is suitable for cutting metal pipes, sheets, and profiles, as well as for grinding welds and removing rust from metal surfaces.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning of air vents and the exterior, checking discs for damage, and proper battery care are the main maintenance requirements. Ensure all safety features are functioning correctly.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not start.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged and the trigger is pulled. Verify that the overload cut-out has not been activated; if so, let the tool cool down.
Reduced performance or overheating.
Check for blockages in the air vents. Clean the vents with compressed air. Ensure the correct type and condition of cutting/grinding disc is being used. The battery may need recharging or may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Excessive vibration.
Ensure the disc is correctly mounted and securely tightened. Check the disc for any damage or warping. Use a new, undamaged disc if necessary.
Disc not cutting effectively.
The disc may be worn out and needs replacement. Ensure you are using the correct type of disc for the material being cut. Apply consistent, moderate pressure; do not force the tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery is removed before making any adjustments or changing accessories.
- Mount the appropriate 115mm disc (cutting or grinding) onto the spindle. Secure the disc using the flange and spindle nut, tightening with the provided wrench. Ensure the disc is fitted with the marking facing outwards.
- Adjust the protective guard to the desired position using the quick-adjust facility.
- Attach the additional handle to one of the three available mounting points.
- Insert a fully charged Einhell Power X-Change battery into the battery compartment until it clicks into place.
Compatibility:
- This angle grinder is compatible with all batteries from the Einhell Power X-Change series (18V). The included 4.0Ah battery provides a balance of power and runtime.
- Use only 115mm diameter discs designed for angle grinders. Always check the maximum RPM rating of the disc and ensure it meets or exceeds the tool's no-load speed (8,500/min).
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the exterior of the grinder with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Ventilation: Keep the air vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper motor cooling. Use compressed air to blow out any accumulated dust.
- Storage: Store the tool, battery, and charger in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery when storing for extended periods.
- Disc Replacement: Replace discs when they show signs of wear or damage. Always use the correct type and size of disc.
