1. INSTALLATION
The voltage supply to which the machine is to be connected must be within the range
shown on the machine nameplate. If a fused plug is used the fuse rating should be
approximately twice the full load rating of the machine.
The connection must only be done by an authorized electrician. Remember to check that
the machine is running against the tool rest before start operating the machine.
Secure the machine firmly to a work bench or pedestal. The pedestal used must be fixed
to a firm level surface.
Abrasive wheels must be checked to make sure that the manufacturer's maximum
permissible safe operating speed shown on label exceeds the maximum machine speed
as shown on the nameplate.
Before starting the motor check that:
• End shields are secured to the main wheel guard by screws, which must be
secured at all times.
• Wheel can be revolved freely by hand.
• The tool rests are in position, adjusted to within 3 mm (1/8") of the periphery face of
the wheel, and firmly secured.
• The protective eye shields fitted to Bench Grinders are clean and secured in the
correct position, or that recommended and approved type of protective goggles,
with clean lenses, are worn before operating the machine.
All adjustments and checks are made with the machine disconnected from the
power supply.
2. WHEN STARTING AND USING THE MACHINE
Check that the wheel, especially a new replacement wheel, is in sound condition by
allowing the machine to run up to maximum speed and remain there for at least 30
seconds before it is put into use. During this check make sure that all personnel are
standing clear of the machine.
Allow the machine to run up to full speed before applying the work piece to be ground.
Feed the work piece smoothly onto the grinding wheel and avoid harsh intermittent
pressure und »bumbing« onto the wheel.
Always apply light but firm pressure, and allow the wheel to rotate at the maximum
possible speed.
