Maintenance
Keep the machine dry and make sure that the steel brush does not get wet of vapours or rain.
We recommend that the steel brush be replaced when its wear exceeds 25%. A skew brush leads to
vibrations that over time ruin the machine bearings. Damaged grinder, eye shield and other shielding
should be replaced to prevent personal injuries.
An uneven grinding wheel causes vibration which with time will damage the bearings in the machine.
Damaged tool rests, eye shields and covers must be replaced to avoid personal damage
To replace the steel brush, dismantle the spark box and open the shield's door by unscrewing the bolt.
Unscrew the steel set bolt (pos 18 on the spare parts drawings), then remove the outer flange and the steel
brush. Make sure that the new steel brush does not exceed the dimensions stated on the machine's rating
plate. It is important that the hole dimensions be correct.
Fit the new steel brush between the two flanges, screw on the steel set bolt and
tighten.
Tighten the screw
as much as to ensure that the steel brush is securely fastened. Do not over-tighten.
