Adjust the protection guard in such a manner that sparking is prevented
in the direction of the operator.
Removing the wheel guard:
Press the fastening lever to release it. Rotate the wheel guard in non-operating
position so that the four teeth coincide with the four grooves in the bearing seat.
Remove the wheel guard.
Cutting:
When cutting, do not apply pressure, do not oscillate the wheel. Work with
moderate feed rate, suited to the material to be machined.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Otherwise, the danger
exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut (see Fig 5).
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the smallest cross
section.
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
Rough Grinding
When rough grinding do not apply pressure to the processed surface by rearing
down on the machine but move the wheel regularly backwards and forwards.
Special wheels shall be used for processing non-ferrous metals. Best results
when roughing can be achieved with the wheel inclined at 30° to the processed
surface (Fig. 6).
Never use cutting wheels for roughing operations. Usage of wheels thicker than
10 mm is not recommended.
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary due to its own weight.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.
Care and Maintenance
Before the beginning of maintenance or repair works you
have to disconnect the plug from the mains.
Repairs may be executed only by appropriately qualified and experienced
personnel. After every repair the machine has to be inspected by an electric
specialist.
Due to its design, the machine needs a minimum of care and maintenance.
However, the following points always have to be observed:
Always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
During work, please pay attention that no particles get inside the
machine.
In case of failure, a repair has to be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
