CHANGING THE GRINDING WHEELS
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to prevent injuries from
accidentally starting the machine the machine’s main
switch must be turned off before changing a grinding
wheel.
Pull power plug!
• Loosen the spark gard and the eye shield and pull out
• as far as possible. Do not remove these parts!
• Loosen work rest and pull out as far as possible.
• Dissemble screws and pull off end plate.
•
Take off outside flange and the old grinding wheel,
then assmeble the new one.
Important note:
• Do not remove the pieces of card board on the sides
of the wheel, as they are intended for strengthening
the grip of the Flange against the grinding wheels.
• Examine the new grinding wheels on cracks or other
visible damages and dispose if necessary.
•
Mount flange and nut again.
• Do not tighten the screw by force. This can cause the
grinding wheel to break.
• Mount end plate.
• Mount work rest, spark guard and eye shield accord-
ing to installation instructions.
Using the grinding wheel dresser
The grinding wheel dresser is a tool for straightening of
grinding wheels.
•
Press lightly against grinding wheel – without cre-
ating sparks. Move the dresser sideways over the
entire width of wheel.
m
Attention! Always wear safety goggles.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into
the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require
additional maintenance.
10. Electrical connection
The installed electric motor is factory connected ready
for operation. The connection meets the applicable VDE
and DlN regulations.
WARNING!
Never connect the plug to power source
outlet until all installations and adjustments are complet-
ed and you have read and understood sthe safety and
operation instructions.
ASSEMBLY
Work Rests (Fig. 1, Nr. 4)
Install the work rest with a star grip screw and a washer
to the wheel guard. The distance between wheel and
work rest should not exceed 2 mm.
Spark Guards (Fig. 2)
Install the spark guard with a cross-head screw and a
washer to the wheel guard. The distance to the wheel
guard
should not exceed 2 mm.
Wheel Guards (Fig. 3, Fig. 4)
1
Install the eye shield with 2 cross-head screw n M4, 2
washers and 2 hex nuts to the clamping plate.
2
Lead the handle into the clamping plate and fix it with
a flat head screw M6, a washer and a nut.
3
Fix the complete unit to the wheel guard with U-handle,
hex bolt M6 and a washer.
The guard is individually adjustable, as to protect the us-
ers eyes during grinding process.
8. Operation
On/Off switch (8)
•
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (8)
to position On.
•
Move the On/Off switch (8) to position Off to switch
off the equipment.
After switching on, wait for the equipment to reach its
maximum speed of rotation. Only then should you be-
gin with the grinding.
Work practice
•
Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece so
that it can be machined at constant speed.
•
Instead of accelerating your work, high pressure will
cause the drive unit to slow down and even stop,
thus overloading the motor.
•
For your own safety, it is essential to secure small
workpieces with a screw clamp or vise.
Grinding
•
Place the workpiece onto the workpiece support (4)
and slowly guide the workpiece towards the grind-
ing wheel (3) at the desired angle to the point where
workpiece and grinding wheel make contact.
•
Move the workpiece slightly back and forth to pro-
duce an optimal grinding result. This way the grind-
ing wheel (3) will be evenly worn. Allow the work-
piece to cool down occasionally.
Important!
If the grinding wheel becomes jammed during op-
eration, remove the workpiece and wait until the tool
reaches its top speed again.
