GRINDING/BRUSHING PROCEDURE
Always keep your hands away from the grinding area when the grinder is operated.
During the grinding, there is a risk of projection of sparks and debris.
Use extreme care when performing a manual grinding/brushing : risk of contact with the wheel and the wire wheel (risk
of entanglement, burn, pinching, abrasion or crushing).
In case of important vibrations, identify the unbalanced wheel or wire wheel and correct its balance using an appropriate
balancing device.
Always use tool-holders only in horizontal position.
Keep the screen perfectly clean.
Do not apply excessive force on tools. Performances of tools are not increased when one applies a great force, but the
lifespan of tools and of the machine will be reduced.

piece. Cool it down, from time to time, using a
water tank.
The wheel has a fine grain (AA 60 M) to perform
finishing machining and dry sharpening of tools
(plane blades, scissors, pairs of secateurs,…), made
from hard and hardened metals.
Wire wheel side
6.
Firmly hold the work piece to brush with
your hands, then apply a progressive force, but do
not exert an excessive force in order to let the
motor run at its rating speed. Cool the workpiece
down, from time to time, using a water tank.
Brassed iron, wavy wire wheels are adapted to
pickling, cleaning, rust removing, polishing of work
pieces made from ferrous/no ferrous metal, wood,
plastics.
Let the wheel and the wire wheel reach their maximal speed, prior to starting grinding.
Do not brake or block the wheel or the wire wheel by pressing too much.
Stopping the grinder :
Press « 0 » on the main switch to stop the grinder.
Several seconds are required to completely stop
the wheels.
