it is important that every operator should read these instructions
before they are allowed to use the TEG-1000 Tungsten Electrode
Grinder.
The parts are all named in the diagram on pages 10 and 11, so you
can familiarise yourself with the individual items.
1. Set the grinder on a suitable bench and check that it is stable.
in the event that the grinder rocks, then use the adjustable feet
to obtain stability. Plug it in to your mains supply.
2. Loosen the angle guide key then set the arrow on the collet
block to the desired angle printed on the base of the unit. Once
the desired angle is selected, tighten the angle guide key.
3. Find the corresponding size of hole in the multi-hole tappet for
the tungsten to be ground. Then insert the tungsten into that
hole.
4. Please ensure the operator is wearing the correct safety items
before starting to operate this unit.
5. Rotate the multi hole tappet until the tungsten touches a suitable
place on the wheel.
NOTE
: You
MUsT
set the tungsten against
the
fACE
of the wheel not the edge of the wheel.
6. remove tungsten briefly and press the green push on switch
to start the motor.
7. Re-insert the tungsten carefully through the selected hole in the
multi hole tappet until it meets the wheel and starts to grind
and turn the tungsten with a light pressure, between the thumb
and index finger, against the face of the wheel.
NOTE
: Times
for grinding are shown on table 1 on page 6.
8. When the tungsten is ground suitably, remove it from the multi
hole tappet and turn off the motor using the red push off switch.
9. By experimenting, each operator will determine how many turns
of the electrode will be needed to achieve the required point.
