Initial Operation; Power Supply - Metabo BS 175 Manual Original

clean the inside of the grinding wheels and belt
grinder housing. The grinding wheels and sanding
belt must be able to rotate freely within the housing.
Unplug when the grinder is not in use, before
making any adjustments or carrying out
modifications, repairs or maintenance.
Regularly check the power cable on the grinder and
have it repaired by an approved expert if damaged.
Regularly check extension cables and replace if
damaged.
Check the grinder for possible damage: Before
using the grinder, protective devices or slightly
damaged components must be carefully checked to
ensure they are operating perfectly and as
intended. Check that moving parts are in perfect
working order and do not jam and check whether
parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly
installed and fulfil all conditions necessary to ensure
perfect operation of the grinder. Damaged
protective devices and parts must be repaired or
replaced according to specifications by an
authorised specialist workshop.
Reduce dust exposure:
Particles generated when working with this
machine may contain substances that can
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other propagation
defects. Some of these substances include: Lead
(in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks,
concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types
(such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk depends on for how long the user or nearby
persons are exposed to the substance.
This dust must not be allowed to enter your body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see
chapter 9.), thus less particles enter the
environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush

6. Initial Operation

6.1

Power supply

Before plugging in, check that the rated mains
voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the
rating label, match with your power supply.
The grinder complies with protection class I and
must therefore only be connected to sockets
earthed according to specifications.
DSD 200, DSD 250 (three-phase version):
Ensure that the grinding wheels have the correct
direction of rotation (the correct direction of rotation
is indicated by an arrow on the side safety guards).
If a grinding wheel is rotating in the wrong direction:
Unplug the grinder. The plug comprises of two
phase conducting pins that are mounted on a
rotating socket (phase changing switch). Use a
Phillips screwdriver to rotate this socket.
6.2 Installing workpiece support
Install workpiece support (8) as shown in illustrations
A, page 2.
6.3 Fitting spark deflector and eye
preservers
Install the spark deflector (10) and eye preservers (9)
as shown in illustrations B, page 2.
6.4 Installing machine safely
Place the machine on a stable workbench. Ensure
that the machine is securely seated.
The machine can also be bolted down (screws not
included in the scope of delivery). To do this, fasten
the securing screws through the holes in the rubber
feet.
If a stand or wall bracket is used (see Accessories
chapter): bolt down the machine.
6.5 Dust extraction connection (depending
on equipment)
If your machine is not equipped with a dust
extraction connection (6), fit an extraction device that
