(32) ELECTRIC MOTOR
One Brush wears more than the other, especially during slow speed operation. Periodically they need to be
reversed. This will prolong the life of the brushes.
(33) CARE OF THE MACHINE.
Always keep the machine clean. It is just as important to keep the hands clean also. Avoid placing the hands on the
Vertical Adjustment Sleeve. Do not allow an accumulation of stone residue to build up. Keep the Master Plate
clean. Occasionally polish it with silicon carbide paper. Spray lightly with de-watering fluid when not in use. When
finished using the machine switch off all switches.
