7. Operation 

There is a risk of clothing and hair getting entangled. There is a risk of 
hands being crushed. Serious injury may result.

To prevent dust formation, always have the coolant tap on while dress-
ing and direct the coolant hose at the grinding wheels.

Never dress with mounted knives. 

Serious cutting injuries may result.

CAUTION

7.3  Dressing the front / rear ceramic grinding wheels

If the front grinding wheel is running out of true 
or is loaded, it must be dressed. 

Set the grinding discs to a comfortable position 
(approx. 34° – see Chapter 7.5).

Change to settings via the main menu “F5 Set-
tings” (3-8/15). 

Switch on the front grinding wheel. To do so, 
press “Front Grinding Wheel On / Off” (7-21/1) on 
the touch panel.

ATTENTION

Turn the “Setting Mode” key switch 
 (3-7/5) to position “1”.

Insert the deburring lever (7-22/1) as far as it will 
go into the relevant bushing. Move the dressing 
diamond (7-22/2) with the deburring lever evenly 
over the grinding wheel, which is switched on. 

The dressing diamond is fed by rotating the ad-
justing nut (7-22/3) in clockwise direction.
