For your safety. Do not use this machine before you have thor- oughly read and completely understood theseop- erating instructions, including the figures, specifications, and safety regulations. Please also observe the relevant national industrial safe- tyregulations (e. g. in Germany: BGV A2, BGR 500). Non-observance of the safety instructions in the said documentation can lead to an electric shock, burns and/or severe injuries. This Instruction Manual should be kept for later use and enclosed with the power tool, should it be passed on or sold. Read and observe the operating instructions of the belt grinder GI75/GI150, which is to be mounted to this machine. For assembly of the cylindrical grinding device to the belt grinder, use only the fastening material provided. Faulty assembly can cause the cylindrical grinding device to loosen from the belt grinder during operation and lead to serious accidents. Intended use of the machine. The cylindrical grinding device GIC is to be used together with the belt grinder GI75/GI150 exclusively for grinding and polishing round steel pipes, light metal pipes as well as solid round stock with diameters D = 10–130 mm using the application tools and acces- sories recommended by FEIN in weather-protected environments. The cooling unit GXW is intended for cooling of the workpiece. Special safety instructions. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop- ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or res- pirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high inten- sity noise may cause hearing loss. While working, do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or open, long hair. Despite protective devices, loose objects can be snagged or caught by moving parts and lead to injury. Before switching on, make sure that no workpiece is inserted in the cylindrical grinding device. The work- piece can be thrown from the machine and cause seri- ous accidents. Never touch the running grinding belt. Danger of injury. In situations of danger, immediately press the safety pushbutton. The machine runs on for approx. 50 sec- onds. Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at reg- ular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu- mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard. The mains plug of the machine may be mounted only by a qualified electrician. The protective conductor in the mains socket outlet must be connected with the pro- tective earthing of the mains supply. Pull out the mains plug for maintenance and repair! Switching the machine on unintentionally can lead to serious injuries. Have the electrical safety of the machine checked reg- ularly in accordance with statutory regulations. For machines that have not been checked, there may be danger of electrical shock! Check the rotation direction of the motor before start- ing the operation of the machine for the first time. If the rotation direction of the motor is incorrect, the work- piece can be thrown from the machine and cause an accident. The rotation direction may be changed only by a qualifiedelectrician. Always work with great care and attention, especially when inserting and removing the material. If your attention fades, your hands may be seriously injured. The surface being worked can become very hot. Do not touch it with your hands. Be careful when working short or thin material. When inserting and removing, your hands may be caught by the grinding belt or brake wheel, causing serious injury. For longer pipes and round stock, we recommend the using the pipe guide GXIS-1/GXIS-2. Exercise caution after switching off. The machine runs on for approx. 50 seconds. Carry out adjustments and maintenance only when the grinding belt is stopped. Handling hazardous dusts For work procedures with this power tool where material is removed, dusts develop that can be hazard- ous to one’s health. Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat- ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate parti- cles from materials containing stone, paint solvents, wood preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal protective equipment and pro- vide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-containing materials to special- ists. Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding dust and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfa- vourable conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in the direction of the dust collector as well as overheating of the power tool and the materials being sanded, empty the dust collector/container in time, observe the material manufacturer’s working instruc- tions, as well as the relevant regulations in your country for the materials being worked.13

Belt grinder GI75/GI150. Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. Dismount the spark guard (3). Dismount the grinding rest (5), the chip/grinding-dust box (6) and the star-knob bolt (4). Open side cover (8). Loosen the tensioning device (1) and remove the grind- ing belt. Shut the side cover. Loosen the lever of tilting device (7) and set the belt grinder to a horizontal position. Cylindrical grinding device GIC. Remove the unit from its packaging and fit the accesso- ries as described in the data sheet. Position the cylindrical grinding device against the belt grinder and align the drill holes of the screws (11). Connect both machines by fastening the two eccentric clips (9) with the 4 bolts (11) and then tightening with the eccentric lever (10). Tighten clamping lever (20) as well as the bolt with the nut. Connect the power cable at the connecting point of the switch of the belt grinder GI75/GI150. Coolant unit GXW (figures 3+4). Position the tank on the base plate of the cylindrical grinding device. Fill approx. 30–35 liters of coolant into the coolant tank. Place the lid with the pump unit onto the tank and mount the drain hose (31) to the connection sleeve of the tank (15). Mount the coolant hose (27) to the cylindrical grinding device. The coolant hose must be mounted in such a manner that the brake wheel or workpiece can- not catch hold of it. Plug the plug of the coolant unit into socket outlet (14). Mounting/replacing the grinding belt. Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. Loosen the tensioning device (1) and mount a 75 x 2000/150 x 2000 mm long grinding belt. The running-direction marking of the grinding belt must correspond with the rotation direction. Tension the grinding belt with the tensioning device (1). Move the grinding belt manually and observe, if it moves off towards the left or right of the contact roller. Adjust the guidance of the drive wheel on the belt grinder such that the grinding belt runs centrally. The exact calibration is carried out while the machine is run- ning. Switch the belt grinder on. Check if the contact pulley rotates in the direction of the arrow. Switch the belt grinder off again. If the contact disc rotates in the opposite direc- tion of the arrow, the motor's direction of rotation must be changed by a qualified electrician. Adjusting the guide rail (figures 3A+5). Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. Loosen both screws (23) and adjust the clearance of the guide rail to the brake wheel: – Pipe diameter 10–12 mm: Adjustment according to figure “1”. – Pipe diameter 10–130 mm: Adjustment according to figure “2”. Tighten screws (23) again. Adjusting the brake wheel (figure 3). Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. Adjusting the parallelism. Release clamping lever (20) and adjust the brake wheel (19) with the handle (16) in such a manner that it runs parallel to the contact pulley when viewed from above. This helps to achieve a uniform feed pressure and a uni- form grinding pattern. The optimal setting must be determined by practical testing.14

Adjusting the incline. Release the clamping lever (20) and adjust the brake wheel (19) with the star-knob bolt (19) in such a man- ner that is lightly inclined to the left with reference to the workpiece. The more the brake wheel is inclined, the higher the feed speed. The optimal setting must be determined by practical testing. Setting the clearance between brake wheel, workpiece and contact roller. Release clamping lever (21). Tilt the drive unit back with lever (18). Place in the workpiece to be ground. Tilt the drive unit toward the front again so that the brake wheel faces against the workpiece. Adjust the gap clearance (25) to 1 mm. Tighten clamping lever (21) again. Adjusting the feed pressure. Adjust the feed pressure of the brake wheel against the workpiece with crank (22): – Turning in clockwise direction: High feed pressure. – Turning in anticlockwise direction: Low feed pres- sure. Excessive feed pressure can lead to increased wear of the brake wheel and the grinding belt! Operating instructions. Switching on and off.
