efficiency. Change to a new wheel disc in good
time.
• Always first turn the machine off after use
before removing the plug from the socket.
Deburring (Fig. E)
An angle of inclination of 30º to 40º will give the
best results when deburring. Move the machine
back and forth using light pressure. This will
prevent the work piece from discolouring or
becoming too hot and will avoid making groves.
Never use abrasive cutting discs for
deburring work!
Cutting (Fig. F)
For cutting, a special closed protection guard (Fig.
D2) must be used (not included).
Maintain firm contact with the work piece to
prevent vibration and do not tilt or apply pressure
and when cutting. Use moderate pressure when
working, appropriate to the material that is
being worked on. Do not slow down wheel discs
by applying sideways counter pressure. The
direction in which you want to cut is important.
The machine must always work against the
direction of the cut; so never move the machine
in the other direction! There is the risk that the
machine will catch in the cut causing kickback
and that you will lose control.
Hints for optimum use
• Clamp the work piece. Use a clamping device
for small work pieces.
• Hold the machine with both hands.
• Switch on the machine.
• Wait until the machine has reached full speed.
• Place the wheel disc on the work piece.
• Slowly move the machine along the work
piece, firmly pressing the wheel disc against
the work piece.
• Do not apply too much pressure on the
machine. Let the machine do the work.
• Switch off the machine and wait for the
machine to come to a complete standstill
before putting the machine down.
4. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, always
switch off the machine and remove the
mains plug from the mains.
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that
the ventilation openings are free of dust and
dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft
cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any
solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia,
etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the
synthetic components.
Replace power cords
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is
damaged and needs replacing, it is important
that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by
an approved BS 1363/13A fused plug and that
the following wiring instructions are followed.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
• blue neutral
• brown
live
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable
of the unit may not correspond to the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in the plug,
proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
Checking and replacing the carbon brushes
(Fig. A & G)
If the carbon brushes are worn, the carbon
brushes must be replaced by the customer
service department of the manufacturer or a
similarly qualified person.
Only use the correct orginial type of
carbon brushes.
