Adjusting the Scraper to the Mortar
When the machine is delivered or when a scraper is
re-ordered, it may be necessary to regrind scraper A.
This depends on the shape of the mortar M or the
wear on it.
Fig.7.1
Regrinding is necessary in the following cases:
• when the machine is supplied without a mortar or
grinding set
• when a scraper or mortar is reordered
The scraper was chamfered slightly in the factory in
order to make regrinding easier. The grinding angle
should be 45° and depend on the shape of the
mortar.
Fig.7.1 und Fig.7.2
You can use a belt sander, a grindstone or sandpaper
to do the grinding.
The scraper can become sharp-edged as a result of
sanding and wear during grinding operations. During
cleaning in particular there is a risk of injury.
