Frequently Asked Questions - PBSG 55 A1 PARKSIDE

How do I sharpen a drill with the PBSG 55 A1?

First, fully lower the sharpening stone by turning the rotary switch DOWN. Insert the drill into the appropriate drill guide (3-10 mm). Switch on the device, then turn the rotary switch UP until you hear grinding. Turn the drill loosely between stops about 10 times. Remove, rotate 180°, reinsert, and repeat until both cutting edges are sharp. The angle between main and transverse cutting edges should be 130°.

How do I replace the sharpening stone?

Unplug the device. Remove the four screws from the sharpening stone cover and take off the cover. Clamp the stone in a vise. Use a 20 mm open spanner to loosen the threaded connection (note: left-hand thread – turn clockwise to release). Remove the metal washer, mount the new stone with flat edge downward, reinsert washer, and tighten anticlockwise. Ensure the spring is correctly placed, then reattach the cover.

Device-specific safety instructions for drill sharpeners

■ Make sure that the device is switched off before inserting the mains plug into the socket.
■ Always pull the mains plug out before carry out cleaning or maintenance work. This is to prevent the device starting up by accident.
The ventilation openings of the motor unit must always be kept clear. Otherwise there is a risk of the device overheating.
When carrying out work on the device as well as transporting or storing it, move the ON / OFF switch 4 to the "0" position (off) in order to prevent it switching itself on by accident.

FIRE HAZARD DUE TO FLYNG

SPARKS! Grinding metal will cause sparks to fly. That is why you

should always make sure that no-one is at risk from them and that no combustible materials are located in the proximity of the area of work.

WARNING!

RISK OF INJURY! Use the

ON/OFF switch in the event of

4 to switch the grinder off power failure or when pulling

out the mains plug. This prevents the grinder restarting by accident, which could cause injury to you.

■ Never operate the grinder if the power cable or mains plug is damaged.
Grinding stones must be carefully stored and handled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
■ Make sure that the grinding tools are appropriate in line with the instructions of the manufacturer.
- Check the grinding stone before using it; do not use any broken, cracked or otherwise damaged goods.
■ Make sure that a grinding tool is correctly fitted and fastened before using it.

Place the grinder in a safe place and allow it to run idly for 30 seconds. Stop it immediately if considerable oscillations occur or if defects are observed. If this occurs, check the machine to find out the cause.

● Original accessories/Attachments
■ Use only the accessories and attachments detailed in the operating instructions.

The use of inserted tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you suffering an injury.

Use
● Sharpening a drill

NOTE: Badly damaged drills should first be coarsely sharpened on a sharpening block.

☐ Fully lower the sharpening stone. To do this turn the rotary switch 1 in the DOWN ▼direction as far as it will go.
☐ Insert the drill into the smallest suitable drill guide 11 on the drill sharpener. The exact size (∅) of each drill guide 11 is shown by the adjacent lettering (3 to 10).
☐ Press the ON / OFF switch into position "I" to switch on the device.

Turn the rotary switch in the UP direction until you hear a grinding noise.

NOTE: The rotary switch 1 controls the position of the sharpening stone in the sharpening head housing and therefore the pressure of the sharpening stone against the drill. The further you turn the rotary switch 1 in the UP direction, the greater the pressure. Ensure that you do not turn the sharpening stone too far up. Otherwise the sharpening stone could strike the housing.

☐ Turn the drill under slight pressure loosely and quickly to and fro between the left and right stops about 10 times (with small drills about 5 times).
☐ Pull the drill out, turn it through 180^ (horizontally) and insert it again until it meets the sharpening stone.
☐ If necessary repeat whole process until both cutting edges of the drill are sharp. Control the grinding operation so that the angle between the main and transverse cutting edges for a standard drill is 130^ . Both cutting edges (b) must have the same angle to the drill axis (a) and be the same length so that the drill runs concentrically (see following figures).

☐ Press the ON / OFF switch into position "0" to switch off the device.
● Replacing the sharpening stone

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Before you carry out any work on the device, always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Replace the sharpening stone if it is worn out or damaged (deteriorating, irregular sharpening performance,

broken stone). A Phillips screwdriver is required for this step.

☐ Screw the four screw ^3 out of the sharpening head cover ^2 and remove the cover ^2 , refer to Fig. A.
Take out the sharpening stone.
☐ Clamp the sharpening stone 5 in a vice. Release the threaded connection 7, which holds the sharpening stone 5 on to the sharpening stone holder 9, using a 20 mm open spanner, see Fig. B.

NOTE! LEFT-HAND THREAD - TO RELEASE TURN IT CLOCKWISE!

Remove the metal washer 8.

Mount the new sharpening stone, with its flattened edge facing downwards, on to the sharpening holder 9 and reinsert the metal washer 8.

☐ Clamp the sharpening stone again in a vice and tighten the threaded connection using a 20 mm open spanner.

NOTE! LEFT-HAND THREAD - TO TIGHTEN TURN IT ANTICLOCKWISE!

☐ Ensure that the spring is inserted into the device in accordance with Fig. D and insert the sharpening stone back into the device. Turn the sharpening stone until it goes precisely back into place, as shown in Fig. A, otherwise the sharpening stone cover 2 cannot be fitted.

Place the sharpening stone cover back in position and screw it in place with the four screws 3.

● Maintenance and cleaning

Apart from replacing the sharpening stone, the drill sharpener is maintenance-free.

☐ Regularly clean the device straight after using it.
☐ To clean the casing, use a dry cloth; on no account should you use any petrol, solvents or cleaning agents.

WARNING! Never open the devices. Any repairs or replacements should only be carried out by the service centre or an electrician.
