2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

In this manual and/or on the machine the following symbols are used:

CE In accordance with essential applicable safety standards of European directives

Class II machine – Double insulation – You don't need any earthed plug.

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Risk off fire

Keep bystanders away

Wear safety glasses and car protection

Wear protective gloves

Read instructions carefully

Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations.

SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place!

• Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to the maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on the grinding disc.
  • Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the machine.
• Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.
• Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier's instructions.
• Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
• Do not use grinding discs for deburring.

• When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.

• Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are crack-ed, ripped or otherwise damaged.
  • Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds. Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the machine on again.
  • Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable substances.
  • Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away from the surface to be cut.
  • Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.

• Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product and when they are required.
• If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
• For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
• Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become nessesary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
• Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the mains-impedance Zmax <0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.

3. ASSEMBLY

Prior to mounting an accessory always unplug the tool.

MOUNTING A GRINDING DISC.

Fig 2 Use grinding discs of the correct dimension. Use fibre reinforced grinding discs only. The grinding disc must not touch the edge of the guard.

- Press the spindle lock (6) and turn the spindle (9) until it engages in the lock. Keep the spindle lock pressed during this procedure.

- Remove the flange nut (12) from the spindle using the spanner (11).

- Position the grinding disc (7) on the flange (5). - Place the flange nut on the spindle an tighten it using the spanner.

- Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is unlocked by rotating it.

MOUNTING THE SIDE HANDLE

Fig 1 The side handle can be used for both left-hand and right-hand control.

• Fasten the side handle (Fig. 5) for left-hand operation on the right-hand side of the machine.
• Fasten the side handle for right-hand operation on the left-hand side of the machine.
• Fasten the side handle for upright working at the top of the machine.

Make sure that the side handle is fastened properly and cannot loosen unexpectedly.

MOUNTING GRINDING DISCS AND ROUCHING DISCS

ROUGHING DISCS

Fig. 3 and 4 show how to mount the flange (10) when using thick (4–8 mm) and thin (2,5–4 mm) discs.

4. USE

SPECIAL ATTENTION WHEN STARTING THE MACHINE

- Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during the cutting activities.

- When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.

• Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine.

- Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.

- Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on

Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

- This machine is equipped with a safety switch. - Start the machine by pressing the "lock off" button (to disengage the switch) and switch on the machine.

Before start working, the machine must be run according to the max. speed.

OPERATION

- Hold the machine firmly and move it against the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly across the workpiece.

- Move the machine during roughing under an angle of 30^ - 40^ across the workpiece (fig. 5).

Never use grinding discs for roughing!

• The machine must always work opposite to the direction of rotation. Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut (fig. 6).
- Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on efficiency of the machine. Replace the grinding disc on time.
- Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the mechanism.

• Always switch off the machine first before removing the plug from the wall socket.

Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

I. Machine fails to operate:
• Power turned off
• (Extension) cable damaged

1. The elektromotor hardly reaches maximum

speed:
• The extension cable is too thin and/or too long
• The mains voltage is lower than 230 V

1. Machine overheats:

• Air vents are blocked. Clean them with a dry cloth.
• The machine has been overloaded. Use the machine for the purpose it is made for.

1. Excessive sparking or elektromotor runs
   irregular.
2. There's dirt inside the motor or the carbon brushes are worn. Replace the carbon brushes or bring the machine to a specialized repair centre.
