The machine has the function to grind wood, metal and plastic on the indicated
grinding surfaces. This table shows the function of the machine and its
attachments. The following section contains the functions of the control elements.
Structure of the machine
The machine consists of an electric motor mounted on a metal base plate with
mounting holes for mounting the machine on a worktable. A frame is attached to
the base plate. The Meli94H/V version has a hinge attached to the base plate to tilt
the machine 90 degrees.
The base plate and, if available, the hinge are fixed to a worktable. The frame
provides space for mounting a support arm a) or a support arm b) as well as a belt
tensioning and alignment mechanism. A drive wheel is attached to the motor.
The grinding belt runs over the drive pulley, over the alignment roller of the
tensioning and alignment mechanism and over the rotating parts attached to the
support arm (a) and (b).
The machine can be switched on and off with an on/off button. The position of the
start and stop buttons and the way the start and stop buttons are attached are
described in chapter 5 of the installation.
