3 Operating
EN Floor grinding machine FGE 530
8
— Operation begins in the standard position
[Fig. A].
— The stretched position is intended for tool
change and for maintenance. The machine can
then be tilted backward.
— For transporting the machine, the guide bar
can be swivelled to the front position [Fig. I].
7.
Turn control switch back to full stop.
The guide bar is locked.
8.
Place the ETX locating plate with the inserted
diamond tools on the surface to be ground.
9.
Check the dust cover [8, Fig. A] for proper posi
tion and function and, if necessary, correct.
There should be a 3 ... 4 mm gap between the
dust cover and the grinding surface.
10. Check the safety fixtures for completeness and
function before starting up.
Risk of damage due to tensile strain exerted by
the power line!
The electric outlet serving as the power supply
should be supported and installed according to
local regulations.
Risk of injury from inadvertent starting of the
machine!
Before plugging in the power plug, make sure
the machine is switched off.
11. Turn the
FWD/0/REV rotary switch to 0.
12. Join the connecting cable (extension cable) with
the proper power socket and plug the connec
tion cable's coupling in the power plug
[4, Fig. D].
The indicator lamp
DUTY [17, Fig. B] lights up.
The machine is ready for operation.
3.2 Operation
Rotary switch
FWD/0/REV [16, Fig. B] is at 0.
1.
For wet grinding, press the lever [15, Fig. B] ac
cording to the required amount water (empirical
value).
2.
Hold the machine by the guide handle [1, Fig. A]
3.
Sling safety line [19, Fig. C] around the wrist so
that when the operator goes away from the guide
handle [1, Fig. A] the safety cap [14, Fig. C] will
be reliably separated from the safety switch.
4.
If necessary, press the safety cap on the safety
switch until it snaps in.
The surface to be ground can now be machined.
5.
Select the rotation direction with the
FWD/0/REV rotary switch [16, Fig. B].
—
FWD (forward):
The gears turn anticlockwise; the ETX lo
cating plates turn clockwise.
—
REV (backwards):
The gears turn clockwise; the ETX locating
plates turn anticlockwise.
Many tools with polycrystal diamonds (PKD)
[25, Fig. F] only permit use in one rotational
direction.
Tools with metal‐ or synthetic bonded diamonds
[26/27, Fig. F] may be used in any rotational
direction.
Clogged tools with synthetic resin‐bonded dia
monds [27, Fig. F] can reattain the full grinding
effect by changing the direction of rotation.
All specifications on the direction of rotation are to
be considered as seen from above the machine.
6.
The drive is switched on and accelerates to the
speed set at the
SPEED regulator [13, Fig. B].
7.
If necessary, use the
SPEED regulator to adjust
the speed for the grinding conditions.
If surface mills are being used, the speed
(
SPEED) may not exceed 50 %!
3.3 Switching the machine off
Follow the safety instructions in Chapter 2.
Risk of injury from a still rotating ETX locating
plate even after the machine is switched off!
Only switch off the machine with the tools re
sting on the floor.
Otherwise, the tool mount can continue to turn
in idle (run‐on) for several seconds after switch
off!
—
Turn the rotary switch
FWD/0/REV [16, Fig. B]
to
0.
The machine is switched off
