4. Technical data

Rated voltage: 230 V \~ 50 Hz Power rating: 150 W S2 30 min Idle speed n₀: 2950 min⁻¹ Grinding wheel diameter: 150 mm Grinding wheel thickness: 16 mm Grinding wheel hole diameter: 12.7 mm Max. peripheral speed: 23.16 m/s Weight: 5,7 kg

Load factor:

A load factor of S2 30 min (intermittent periodic duty) means that you may operate the motor continuously at its nominal power level (150 W) for no longer than the time stipulated on the specifications label (30 minutes ON period). If you fail to observe this time limit the motor will overheat. During the OFF period the motor will cool again to its starting temperature.

Sound and vibration

Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 61029.

L_pA sound pressure level ..... 77.5 dB(A) K_pA uncertainty ..... 3 dB L_WA sound power level ..... 90.5 dB(A) K_WA uncertainty ..... 3 dB

Wear ear-muff s.

The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 61029.

Vibration emission value a_h ≤ 2.5 m/s^2 K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s ^2

Warning!

The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.

The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.

The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
  • Service and clean the appliance regularly.
  • Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
  • Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
  • Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
  • Wear protective gloves.

Residual risks

Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment's construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Pull the power plug before doing any maintenance or assembly work on the equipment.

• The machine must be set up so that it stands firmly, i.e. it must be securely screwed to a work bench or similar.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the grinding wheel to run freely.
• Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the same as your supply voltage before you connect the machine to the power supply.

5.1 Fitting the spark refl ector (Fig. 2-4 / Item 3)

Fit the spark reflector (3) to the double wheel grinder/sander using the adjusting screw (10).

5.2 Adjusting the spark refl ector (Fig. 5 / Item 3)

• Adjust the spark deflector (3) using the adjusting screw (10) so that the distance between the dry grinding wheel (5) and the spark deflector (3) is as small as possible and certainly does not exceed 2 mm.
• Adjust the spark deflector (3) periodically to compensate for wear on the wheel.

5.3 Fitting the workpiece supports (Fig. 6 / Item 7)

Undo the fastening screws (6). Secure the workpiece supports (7) to the double wheel grinder/sander using the fastening screws (6).

5.4 Adjusting the workpiece supports (Fig. 7 / Item 7)

• Adjust the workpiece supports (7) using the fastening screws (6) so that the distance between the dry grinding wheel (5) and the workpiece support (7) is as small as possible and certainly does not exceed 2 mm.
• Adjust the workpiece supports (7) periodically to compensate for wear on the dry grinding wheel.

5.5 Changing the grinding wheel (Figs. 8-9)

Remove the 3 screws (A) holding the side section of the safety hood (B) and remove the safety hood. Undo the nut (D) (Important: The left grinding wheel is fastened with a left-handed thread and the right grinding wheel with a right-handed thread), by holding the nut of the grinding wheel mount on the opposite side. Remove the fl ange (C), and replace the grinding wheel (5). The grinding wheel is mounted with the help of a rag. Mount the fl ange (C) on the shaft and screw on the nut (D) hand-tight. To tighten the nut (D), hold the grinding wheel (5) with a rag and tighten the nut (D).

6. Operation

6.1 ON/OFF switch (1)

To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (1) to position 1.

Move the ON/OFF switch (1) to position 0 to switch off the equipment.

After switching on the equipment wait for the equipment to reach its maximum speed of rotation before commencing with the sanding/grinding work.

6.2 Grinding

We recommend that you use the fine-grained grinding wheel for fine sanding/grinding work and the coarse-grained grinding wheel for coarse sanding/grinding work.
- Place the workpiece onto the workpiece support (7) and slowly guide the workpiece towards the grinding wheel (5) at the desired angle to the point where workpiece and grinding wheel make contact.
- Move the workpiece slightly back and forth to produce an optimal grinding result. This way the grinding wheel (5) is evenly worn. Allow the workpiece cool every now and then.

Important!

If the grinding wheel becomes jammed during operation, remove the workpiece and wait until the tool reaches its top speed again.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
