For powerful cutting, sanding or polishing, with its idle speed of 8,500 revs per minute the angle grinder is designed for high performance, so it is a welcome helper in the home workshop and hobby room. The tool is a member of the popular Power X-Change family: the rechargeable batteries of the high-performance series of lithium-ion systems can be used in all other devices from the PXC series. A softstart function and restart safeguard provide even more safety for the user, while the overload cut-out contributes to a long service life.

Troubleshooting
Tool does not turn on.
Ensure the Power X-Change battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the restart safeguard is engaged; press the on/off switch firmly.
