Design and function
WARNING
Harmful electrode material!
Electrodes may contain harmful substances!
• Observe the instructions by the electrode manufacturer!
CAUTION
Open infeed channel!
If the infeed channel is left open, chips and dirt particles can be expelled from the
channel when the grinding disk is running and might get into the eyes or be breathed
in!
• Place the electrode holder in the infeed channel before switching on.
• Allow the grinding disk to come to a stop after switching off before removing the electrode
holder from the infeed channel.
Starting with electrode against grinding disc!
If the grinder is started while the electrode lies against the grinding disc, the electrode
can jam and cause damage to the disc, the machine and people!
• When starting the grinder, make sure the electrode does not lie against the grinding disc!
• Before starting the grinder, check the electrode position through the inspection window!
If too much pressure is exerted from the electrode onto the grinding disk, the electrode may
overheat and become annealed. An annealed electrode can become unusable and damage the
machine!
• Do not press the electrode too forcefully against the grinding disk!
• Turn the electrode evenly during the grinding process!
5.1
Transport and installation
CAUTION
Risk of accidents due to supply lines!
During transport, attached supply lines (mains leads, control cables, etc.) can cause
risks, e.g. by causing connected machines to tip over and injure persons!
• Disconnect all supply lines before transport!
5.1.1
Ambient conditions
Unusually high quantities of dust, acid, corrosive gases or substances may damage the
equipment.
• Avoid high volumes of smoke, vapour, oil vapour and grinding dust!
• Avoid ambient air containing salt (sea air)!
Insufficient ventilation results in a reduction in performance and equipment damage.
• Observe the ambient conditions!
• Keep the cooling air inlet and outlet clear!
• Observe the minimum distance of 0.5 m from obstacles!
