Operation
•
Hold the machine firmly and move it against
the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly
across the workpiece.
•
Move the machine during roughing under an
angle of 30º - 40º across the workpiece (fig.
6).
Never use grinding discs for roughing!
•
The machine must always work opposite to
the direction of rotation. Therefore, never
move the machine in the other direction!
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being
pushed uncontrolled out of the cut (fig. 7).
•
Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs
have a negative effect on efficiency of the
machine. Replace the grinding disc on time.
•
Do not put the machine down when the motor
is still running. Do not place the machine on a
dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the
mechanism.
•
Always switch off the machine first before
removing the plug from the wall socket.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the
motor.
5. Service & maintenance
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
The machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning.
Trouble shooting
Should the machine fail to function correctly, a
number of possible causes and the appropriate
solutions are given below:
1. Machine fails to operate
•
Power turned off.
•
(Extension) cable damaged.
2. The elektromotor hardly reaches
8
maximum speed
•
The extension cable is too thin and/or too
long.
•
The mains voltage is lower than 230 V.
3. Machine overheats
•
Air vents are blocked. Clean them with a dry
cloth.
•
The machine has been overloaded. Use
the machine for the purpose it is made for
4. Excessive sparking or elektromotor runs
irregular
•
There's dirt inside the motor or the carbon
brushes are worn.
•
Replace the carbon brushes or bring the
machine to a specialized repair centre.
Repairs and servicing should only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
service firm.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean
to prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly
clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation
slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not
come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy
water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol,
ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage
the plastic parts.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part,
please contact the service address on the
warranty card. In the back of this manual you find
an exploded view showing the parts that can be
ordered.
Environment
To prevent damage during transport, the
appliance is delivered in a solid packaging which
consists largely of reusable material. Therefore
please make use of options for recycling the
packaging.
Faulty and/or discarded electrical or
electronic apparatus have to be
collected at the appropriate recycling
locations.
