3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-

rations if the equipment is used over a pro- longed period or is not properly guided and maintained. Anl_TH_XG_75_Kit_SPK7.indb 19Anl_TH_XG_75_Kit_SPK7.indb 19 16.07.13 15:4816.07.13 15:48GB

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 mainte- nance 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 pro- perly fitted before the equipment is switched on.

The grinding and polishing wheel must rotate freely.

Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the same as your supply voltage before you connect the equipment to the power supply.

Adjust the spark deflector (3) using the adjus- ting screw (10) so that the distance between the dry grinding wheel (5) and the spark de- flector (3) is as small as possible and certain- ly 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 8) Secure the workpiece supports (8) to the double wheel grinder using the star screw (7).

5.4 Adjusting the workpiece supports

Adjust the workpiece supports (8) using the star screws (7) so that the distance between the dry grinding wheel (5) and the workpiece support (8) is as small as possible and cer- tainly does not exceed 2 mm.

Adjust the workpiece supports (8) periodically to compensate for wear on the dry grinding wheel (5). 5.5. Changing the wheels (Fig. 8-9) Remove the 3 screws (A) holding the side section of the safety hood (B) and remove the safety hood. Slacken the nut (D) (Important: The grin- ding wheel on the left is fastened with a left- handed thread and the grinding wheel on the right with a right-handed thread) by holding the nut of the grinding wheel mount on the oppo- site side. Then remove the fl ange (C) and replace the grinding wheel (5). To assemble, proceed in the reverse order. The grinding wheel is mounted with the help of a rag. Mount the fl ange (C) and the nut (D) on the shaft and hold steady with the help of a rag when you tighten the nut (D).

Insert the internal axle (a) of the flexible shaft (12) into the guide shaft of the equipment.

Secure the fastening nut of the flexible shaft to the equipment thread by hand (left-hand thread). Important! When you work with the fl exible shaft (12), the safety glass (2) must be placed right up against the workpiece support (8) in order to prevent un- controlled touching of the wheels.

5.7 Inserting the various tools into the fl exib-

1. Press the supplied locking pin (13) into the

hole in the fl exible shaft (12) and turn the shaft until the pin latches in place.

2. Now undo the collet chuck nut.

3. Insert the required tool into the sleeve as far

as the stop and screw the collet chuck nut tight. Anl_TH_XG_75_Kit_SPK7.indb 20Anl_TH_XG_75_Kit_SPK7.indb 20 16.07.13 15:4816.07.13 15:48GB

To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (1) to position I. Move the On/Off switch (1) to position 0 to switch off the equipment. Important! When you are not working with the fl exible shaft (12), it is not allowed to be mounted on the equipment because it could then fl y around out of control. After switching on, wait for the equipment to reach its maximum speed of rotation. Only then should you begin with the grinding. 6.2. Speed selector (Fig. 1) The required speed can be set with the speed control (11).

6.2.1 Speed of the fl exible shaft

The correct speed depends on the tool used and the type of material being processed. 6.3. Information on speed settings

Small cutters/grinding pins: High speed

Large cutters/grinding pins: Low speed 6.4. Work practice

Exert only moderate pressure on the work- piece so that it can be machined at constant speed.

Instead of accelerating your work, high pres- sure 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.

Precision work/engraving: hold the drive unit like a pen.

Rough work: hold the drive unit like the hand- le of a hammer.

Place the workpiece onto the workpiece support (8) and slowly guide the workpiece towards the grinding wheel (5) at the desired angle to the point where workpiece and grin- ding wheel make contact.

Move the workpiece slightly back and forth to produce an optimal grinding result. This way the grinding wheel (5) will be evenly worn. Al- low the workpiece to cool down occasionally. Important! If the grinding wheel becomes jammed during operation, remove the workpiece and wait until the tool reaches its top speed again.

Apply a thin coating of polishing paste to the grinding surface of the polishing wheel (6) (Fig. 18/ Item 3).

Press on the workpiece in the polishing direc- tion and move back and forth from left to right in a pendulum action.

Always carry out polishing work in the direc- tion of rotation of the polishing wheel (6). Important! Polishing in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the polishing wheels can cause da- mage to the polishing wheels, which in turn can result in injuries.

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.

9. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Always pull out the mains power plug before star- ting any cleaning work.

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 at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
