ASSEMBLY, COMMISSIONING AND USE
ASSEMBLY
Before commissioning for the first use, the equipment must be fully assembled with all its parts. Attach the eye shields , the workpiece
support left and the workpiece support right , see Fig. 1). The bench grinder must be mounted on to a robust level surface, and if at all
possible on to a fixed support, e.g. working surface, workbench. Use the four mounting holes .
POSITIONING WORKPIECE SUPPORTS AND EYE SHIELDS
To ensure safe working, the workpiece supports / and the eye shield mounts must be correctly positioned. Check and correct
the settings at frequent intervals to ensure even wear on the grinding wheel .
The clearance between the grinding wheel and the eye shield holder , and between the grinding wheel and the workpiece support
( or ) must be no more than 2 mm.
Pull out the mains plug and loosen the workpiece support adjustment screw for setting. Bring the workpiece support close up to grinding
wheel until the wheel just not longer moves. This is the correct setting. Retighten the adjustment screw and check using your hand
that the grinding wheel movement is true and free.
If the grinding wheel is worn so much that the above clearance can no longer be achieved even after adjustment of the workpiece support
/ or the eye shield mount , then the grinding wheel must be changed.
COMMISSIONING
Ensure that the equipment is switched off and that the ON/ OFF switch is in the "0" position. Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage
must agree with that shown on the equipment rating plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be connected to 220 V).
ON / OFF switch
in position "1" = equipment runs at a constant speed
ON / OFF switch in position "0" = equipment is switched off
USE
To grind metal tools or metal items, place the workpiece on the workpiece support / and slowly bring it close to the grinding wheel .
Carefully press the workpiece against the grinding wheel . Too much pressure can lead to overloading of the bench grinder. Grinding should
be carried out only on the circumference of the grinding wheels.
