Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where mate-
rial is removed, dusts develop that can be hazardous to
one’s health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate particles
from materials containing stone, paint solvents, wood
preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger
allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or
lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts
depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched
appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal
protective equipment and provide for good ventilation of
the workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-contain-
ing materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding dust
and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfavourable
conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in the
direction of the dust collector as well as overheating of
the power tool and the materials being sanded, empty the
dust collector/container in time, observe the material
manufacturer’s working instructions, as well as the rele-
vant regulations in your country for the materials being
worked.

Fastening screws of sub base for work bench
Assembly instructions (figure 5).
Fasten the machine on the Fein sub base GIXS or GIXBE
(see Assembly instructions) or on a work bench with fit-
ting bolts (
20
).
Fasten the sub base or the work bench to the floor using
suitable dowel/bolt connections.
All connections must withstand the forces that arise dur-
ing working.
Faulty assembly can cause the sub base or work bench to
tilt over or the machine to loosen from the sub base or
work bench during operation, and lead to serious acci-
dents.
Electrical connection.
The electrical connection, which is to be provided
by customer, must be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
Observe mains voltage:
The mains voltage and the fre-
quency of the power source must agree with the data
onthe type plate of the machine.
Before starting operation for the first time, check the
rotation direction of the motor. The rotation direction
may be changed only by a qualified electrician.
Adjustments.
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Adjusting the grinding rest (7).
Loosen both adjustment screws (
8
). Adjust the grinding
rest to the required height, depending on the size of the
workpiece.
Retighten the adjustment screws (
8
).
Adjusting the gap clearance (figure 1).
Brushes, grinding or polishing tools are subject to
normal wear. Therefore, the gap clearance must be
checked regularly and corrected if required.
Turn handle screw (
9
) until the clearance between
brush, grinding or polishing tool (
6
) and grinding rest (
7
)
is
maximum 2 mm
.
Replacing brushes, grinding or polishing
tools (figure 2).
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Loosen the four screws (
16
) and remove the safety cover
(
15
).
Increase the gap clearance with the handle screw (
9
).
Adjust the required gap clearance with the handle screw
(
9
).
Insert the enclosed pin (
19
) into the drilled hole (
18
) and
secure the tool holder against turning.
Loosen clamping screw (
14
) and remove clamping
washer (
12
).
Remove the brush, grinding or polishing tool.
Mount two new brushes, grinding or polishing tools.
Make sure that the drive pin on the tool holder (
11
)
engages in the hole on the disc.
Mount the clamping washer (
12
) and the clamping screw
(
14
) with the spring washer (
13
), and tighten the clamping
screw.
Mount the safety cover (
15
) and tighten the four screws
(
16
) again.
Switch the machine on and check the true running.
In the case of strong vibrations or noise, there may
be an imbalance on the brushes or on the grinding
or polishing tools. Replace out-of-balance applica-
tion tools immediately! Pay attention to the cor-
rect rotation direction of the application tools!
Adjust the grinding rest (
7
) to the required height.
Adjust the required gap clearance with the handle screw
(
9
).
