6.3 Function
The belt grinder consists of two functional groups: A grinding
arm [1] with the grinding belt [4] and a polishing station [8] with
polishing wheel [9]. The polishing station is mounted on the left and
the grinding arm is mounted on the right of the housing. The switch
[6] and the four machine bases [7] are fixed to the housing The
specified direction of rotation for the polishing wheel [9] and the
grinding belt is marked on the belt grinder. A water tank [5] is
attached to the grinding arm to cool the tool to be ground. Surplus
water is collected by the sprayhood [2].

WARNING
Risk of injuries in the event of slipping, falling or tilting belt
grinder
• Install the belt grinder on a stable table or other stand or
substructure, which has sufficient stability to carry the weight
of the belt grinder.
• The stand must not be mobile or fitted with wheels or castors.
• Install the belt grinder on a flat, slip-proof surface so that the
belt grinder does not slip, tilt or otherwise move when used.
CAUTION
Note the ergonomic requirements
• The machine must be installed in such a way that safe
working is possible for a person in an upright position.
• Ensure good lighting is provided at the workplace.

adjustment work.
CAUTION
Risk of injuries due to rotating machine parts
• The distance between the deflection plate and polishing
wheel must be checked each time before starting work
using the belt grinder, and if necessary readjusted.

A misaligned, skew-running belt damages the housing.
• Before switching on the belt grinder, check the running of the
grinding belt, to ensure it is straight.

1Release the clamping lever [2] and undo the knurled lock
nut [5] of the belt tensioner [3].
2Turn the grinding belt by hand and at the same time check
whether it drifts to the side.
3If necessary, use the knurled adjusting screw [4] so that the
belt runs in the middle of the deflection pulley [1].
4Re-tighten the knurled lock nut [5].
5If necessary, readjust while the motor is running.
7.5 Adjusting and dismantling the water tank
To avoid overheating of the cutting tools the SM-140 belt grinder
has integrated water cooling. The grinding belt dips into a water
bath and through this movement removes a quantity of water,
which is then distributed over the surface of the grinding belt by
a distributing brush [1].

Adjusting the water tank
The quantity of water on the grinding belt is controlled by turning
the eccentric [2].
1Turn the star handle of the eccentric so that the water tank
swings upwards. The water level should just touch the belt
and therefore wet the grinding belt with water.
2After using the machine, swing the water tank [4] back
downwards.
Dismantling the water tank
1To empty and clean the water tank, pull out the conical fixing
bolt [3] while at the same time turning it by hand.
2Immediately before the next use fill the water tank up to the
marking indicated inside the tank, insert and adjust.
