3. OPERATION
OPERATION
On/Off Switch
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the use of a residual current
device (rated 30mA or less) is recommended.
1. To switch ON the equipment set the On/Off
switch to the “I” position.
2. After switching ON, wait for the equipment to
reach its maximum speed of rotation. Only then
should you begin with the grinding/sanding.
3. Move the On/Off switch to the “O” position to
switch OFF the equipment.
Grinding Wheel
1. Place the workpiece onto the
tool rest.
2. Slowly guide the workpiece towards
the grinding wheel, ensuring that the
workpiece is at the desired angle when
it makes contact.
NOTE:
Exert only moderate pressure on
the workpiece so that it can be machined
at constant speed. Instead of accelerating
your work, high pressure will cause the
drive unit to slow down and even stop, thus
overloading the motor.
3. Move the workpiece slightly back and
forth to produce an optimal grinding
result. This way the grinding wheel will
be evenly worn. Allow the workpiece to
cool down occasionally.
Belt Sander
NOTE:
It may be necessary
to use the Belt Tension/Tracking
Adjustment Knob to ensure the sanding belt tracks in the centre of the
top and bottom rollers.
1. Always hold the workpiece firmly while
using the sanding belt. Do not exert
excessive pressure.
2. The workpiece should be moved to and
fro on the belt as you grind or sand it to
prevent the paper wearing on one side.
NOTE:
Exert only moderate pressure on
the workpiece so that it can be machined
at constant speed. Instead of accelerating
your work, high pressure will cause the
drive unit to slow down and even stop,
thus overloading the motor.
IMPORTANT!
IF THE GRINDING WHEEL BECOMES JAMMED
DURING OPERATION, REMOVE THE WORKPIECE AND WAIT
UNTIL THE TOOL REACHES ITS TOP SPEED AGAIN.
IMPORTANT!
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, IT IS ESSENTIAL
TO SECURE SMALL WORKPIECES WITH A SCREW
CLAMP OR VISE.
IMPORTANT!
PIECES OF WOOD SHOULD ALWAYS
BE SANDED WITH THE GRAIN TO PREVENT THEM
SPLITTING.
