10. Turn the carriage height adjustment [18, Fig. F]
until the machine is aligned horizontally ac
cording to the built-in water level [19, Fig. F].
11. Check the dust cover [8, Fig. A/J] for proper po
sition and function and, if necessary, correct or
exchange.
There should be a 3 ... 4 mm gap between the
dust cover and the grinding surface.
12. Check the safety devices for completeness and
function before starting up.
Risk of damage due to crushing or exerting
tensile strain on the mains cable and the suction
hose!
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.
13. Join the connecting cable (extension cable) with
the proper power socket and plug the connec
tion cable's coupling in the power plug
[2, Fig. A].
3.2 Operation
Follow the safety instructions in Chapter 2.
Risk of damage due to uncontrolled movement
of the machine!
Before actuating the safety handle, grip the ma
chine with both hands on the guide handle!
On a slope, the machine can quickly accelerate
out of the operator's control, and due to the high
centre of gravity, it could also tip over! If ne
cessary, use suitable auxiliary equipment (e. g.
cable winch)!
The machine can suddenly turn to the side
when it is started up! Make sure that it is stan
ding securely and that the guide handle is in the
correct position!
When the machine is in operation, do not touch
any part of the machine outside the gripping
range of the guide handle [1, Fig. A/B]!
1.
If necessary, feed in water onto surfaces that
are to be ground wet.
2.
Hold the machine by the guide handle.
3.
Press the safety handle [12, Fig. B] against the
guide handle and grip in place.
4.
Press the ON button [11, Fig. B].
The drive is switched on.
The ETX locating plate rotates [14, Fig. C].
The surface to be ground can now be machined.
3.3 Switching the machine off
Risk of injury from a still rotating ETX locating
plate even after the machine is switched off!
The tool mount can continue to turn in idle (run-
on) for several seconds after switch off!
When the tools have been set down on the floor
and the machine is switched off, even after swit
ching off or releasing the safety handle, the ma
chine can still turn by as much as 60
°
on its own
axis.
Do not release the guide handle until the ETX
locating plate is no longer turning!
1.
Release the safety handle [12, Fig. B] and wait
for the ETX‐locating plate to come to a full stop.
If the ETX locating plate continues to rotate
(defective), press the red OFF button or pull the
power plug.
The drive has been switched off.
The ETX locating plate is no longer rotating.
2.
Press the red OFF button [10, Fig. B].
The machine is switched off.
Risk of injury from high voltage!
There is still residual voltage even after the ma
chine has been switched off.
The power supply has to be disconnected to
remove all voltage
(disconnect power plug)!
