Powercraft
Do not wear loose or hanging clothing and jewellery.
They can get caught in the moving parts of the power
tool. While working outdoors, wear rubber gloves
and footwear that will not slip. If you have long hair,
wear a hairnet.
9. Wear safety glasses
During very dusty work, always wear safety glasses
and a dust mask.
10.Do not misuse the power cord
Never carry the tool by its power cord, and do not
unplug the tool from the power by pulling on the
power cord. Protect the power cord from heat, oil,
and/or sharp edges.
11.Secure the workpiece
Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. This holds it more firmly than you can
with your hand. Moreover, it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
12.Make sure you have a firm footing
Avoid taking an abnormal working position. Stand
squarely, and at all times maintain your balance. This
is especially important when working from a (step)
ladder.
13.Maintain the tool with care
Keep your tool in good condition, for best results
and safe work. Ensure that accessories are sharpe-
ned. Follow the instructions for maintenance and
changing of accessories. Check the plug and power
cord regularly, and have them repaired by an expert,
in the event of any damage. Also inspect extension
cords regularly, and replace them if damaged. Keep
handles dry and free from grease and oil.
14.Disconnect the tool from the power
Remove the plug from the power supply whenever
the machine is not in use, before performing any
maintenance, and before changing the grinding
wheel.
15.Never leaving any adjusting tools on the
machine
Before switching on, check that spanners and other
adjusting tools have been removed.
16.Avoid unintentional starting
Never carry a connected machine with a finger on
the switch. Always check first whether the switch is
in the OFF or 0 position before connecting to the
power supply.
17.Extension cords for outdoor use
When outdoors, only use approved and labelled out-
door extension cords.
18.Always stay alert
Take care when working. Think consciously about
what you are doing. Do not use the tool whenever
your concentration is poor.
19.Check the machine for damaged parts
Check carefully that the guards are in working order,
and that all parts still work correctly, even when they
are slightly damaged, before using the machine.
Inspect moving parts for correct alignment, that they
are not binding, and that no essential parts are dama-
ged. All components must be correctly assembled
and working, for the machine to do its job right.
Damaged covers, guards and other parts should be
repaired or replaced in a qualified service workshop,
unless otherwise directed in the operator’s manual.
Damaged switches should only be replaced in a quali-
fied service workshop. Never use any tool that can-
not be properly switched on and off.
20.Use of accessories and tools
In the interest of your own safety, do not use acces-
sories or auxiliary tools that are not indicated in the
users manual, or which are not recommended by the
tool’s manufacturer. Other accessories and/or auxi-
liary tools can lead to personal injury.
21.Repairs and servicing should only be carried
out by a qualified technician
This electric tool complies with the relevant safety
guidelines. To avoid hazards arising from unskilled
workmanship, repairs should only be carried out by a
qualified technician.

OPERATION
SELECTING THE GRINDING WHEEL
Coarse grinding wheels will in general remove the most
material, and fine grinding wheels are used for finishing. If
the surface is uneven, begin by using a coarse grinding
wheel, and grind the workpiece until it is smooth. Next
use a fine grinding wheel to remove the grooves and
scratching left by the coarse wheel, and finish off the
workpiece.
HOW TO GRIND
To prevent the grinding surface from blocking up, avoid
holding wood, lead or any other soft material or metal
against the grinding wheel. To avoid creating grooves, do
not press the workpiece too firmly on the grinding
wheel. Use water to regularly cool the workpiece being
ground. Wood chisels and the like should never be shar-
pened ‘blue’.
Take care not to lose your grip on the object being
ground, as it may suddenly become jammed between the
tool rest and the grinding wheel. This can cause the
stone to shatter, the motor to seize, or the workpiece to
fly off, all of which can cause injury and damage.
Whenever the machine has been in use for 30 minutes, it
should be switched off. Allow the machine to cool down
to room temperature.
SWITCHING THE MACHINE ON
•
Check that the switch is in the “OFF/0” position
before connecting the machine to the power supply.
•
Press the power switch into the “ ON/1” position to
start your bench grinder.
•
Always keep the power cord out of the way of the
tool’s moving parts.
FAULTS
Should the machine fail to function correctly, a number
of possible causes and the appropriate solutions are
given below:
1. The electric motor becomes hot
•
The motor has become overloaded.
Give the motor a chance to cool down.
•
The motor is defective.
Contact the service point.
2. Machine switched on, but will not run
•
There is a break in the power supply to the machine.
Check whether there is a break in the power cord.
•
The switch may be damaged.
Contact the service point.
3. The tool rest is in contact with the grinding
wheel.
Repairs and servicing should only be carried out by
a qualified technician or service firm.
MAINTENANCE
Take care that the machine is not connected to
power whenever maintenance work on the mecha-
nical parts is taking place.
These machines are designed to function problem-free
for a long period with a minimum of maintenance.
Through regular cleaning and correct treatment, you
help assure a long working life for your machine.
Cleaning
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation
openings are free of dust and dirt.
Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moistened
with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline,
alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals like these will damage
the synthetic components.
Lubrication
The machine requires no extra lubrication.
FAULTS
If a fault should occur, for example as a result of wear on
a part, contact the service point.
At the back of this users manual you will find an exploded
parts diagram with the parts that can be ordered.
ENVIRONMENT
To prevent damage in transit, the machine is delivered in
sturdy protective packaging. The packaging makes maxi-
mum use of recycled materials. You too can help the
environment, by recycling the packaging wherever pos-
sible.
