Operation
Tips and notes on handling the sanding or polishing disc on
the machine
•
Ensure stable positioning and secure footing of the device.
To be on the safe side, you can fasten the device in an
appropriate place (see chapter Table assembly).
•
Before every application, check the sanding disc and make
sure that it is not blocked.
•
Before every application, ensure that the protective
glasses, spark deflectors and workpiece supports are
mounted properly.
•
Before every application, make sure that you have selected
the correct speed level for the intended use. By adapting
the speed to the task you have planned and to the m to be
machined, better results can be obtained.
•
Bear in mind that the workpiece will be strongly heated by
the sanding process. Therefore, allow the workpiece to
cool down in a water bath after the grinding process. Then
dry it thoroughly before you continue with its machining.
Tips and notes on handling the flexible shaft
General information:
•
Check the tool in the tool holder for proper fit before every
application. The tool must be firmly locked in place in the
tool holder.
•
Before every application, make sure that you have selected
the correct tool and the correct speed for the intended use.
By adapting the speed to the task you have planned and to
the m to be machined, better results can be obtained.
•
Always hold the tool away from your face. Parts of
damaged accessories might come loose when high speeds
are reached.
•
Before using the tool, you should get a feel for the tool.
Take the tool into your hand and familiarize yourself with
its weight and centre of gravity. Use some scrap material
to practise a bit and to learn how the tool responds with
different speed settings.
•
For tasks requiring precision, like for example engraving,
polishing or sanding, you can also hold the tool between
your thumb and index finger like a pen. The tapering of the
housing on the lower part of the tool serves this purpose.
Cutting:
•
Only use intact, flawless cutting discs. Bent, blunt or
otherwise damaged cutting discs could break.
•
Never use the cutting disc for roughing!
•
Only advance moderately during operation and make sure
that the cutting disc does not get jammed.
•
Do not slow down the decelerating cutting disc by pressing
against the side of the disc.
•
Always move the cutting disc through the workpiece in
reverse rotation.
•
Hold onto the tool with both hands.
Sanding:
•
Maintain a consistent grinding pressure to increase the
lifetime of the abrasive wheels and abrasive belts.
•
You'll obtain better results if the machining process not
only involves one single work cycle, but if you move over
the surface several times with the tool.
Milling:
•
Provide for an even forward motion to prevent overheating
of the milling cutter.
•
Hold onto the tool with both hands.
Engraving:
•
Hold the handle of the flexible shaft at a slight angle while
performing the engraving task, similar to the position of
holding a pen. Your arm should be resting on the table.
•
Guide the engraving bit over the workpiece applying light
grinding pressure.
•
Preferably use excess material to test the feed rate.
Polishing:
•
When you polish the workpiece, guide the tool over the
workpiece only applying light grinding pressure.
Applying the brass brush / plastic brush
•
When you polish the workpiece, guide the tool over the
workpiece only applying light grinding pressure.
•
For polishing, buffing or cleaning with a brass brush or
plastic brush, select a low speed level to prevent the brush
and material from damage.
