Structural gauge
The guiding handle is used to move the machine along the rail.
Ideally, the operator stands between the rails of the track and
grabs the guiding handle with both hands, or when appropriate
has one hand on the guiding handle and the other on the
handwheel for depth feed.
In this way, the rail head and its inner shoulder can be conven-
iently reached by tilting the grinding machine towards the op-
erator.
The possibility of the structural gauge as per DIN EN 15277-2
being violated cannot be excluded when side grinding rails, for
example, because the operator stands beside the track as de-
scribed in Ch. 4.8.
