BEFORE USING THIS TOOL 
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage is 
correct: it must be the same as that on the specification 
label. Machines with 230V can also be connected to a 
220-V mains supply. 
DISCS AND WHEELS 
WARNING! For safety reasons always disconnect 
the machine from the mains before changing the 
grinding wheel. 
The discs and wheels must be protected from bangs and 
knocks. 
Before starting up the machine, check that the grinding 
wheel is securely clamped (see Fig. 2). 
Warning! Use protective goggles while working. 
Do not use wheels of a larger diameter than that shown 
on the specifications plate. 
The centrifugal force tends to break the grinding wheel 
as its speed increases. Said centrifugal force increases 
proportionately to the square of the peripheral speed, 
thus, for example, while the increase in the speed of a 
wheel in going from 30 m/s to 35 m/s is 17%, the in-
crease in the centrifugal force is 36%. 
Owing to the many different shapes of grinding wheels 
with shank, the type of bonding and the degree of hard-
ness, no exact diameter capacity can be given. 
For example, a cylindrical wheel of diameter 25 and 
height 19, with ceramic bonding, allows a speed of 
35,100 r.p.m. yet the same diameter with height 50 only 
allows a maximum speed of 15,900 r.p.m. The values 
shown in table 1 are approximate for general operations. 
For special applications it is always best to consult the 
manufacturer. It is advisable to insert the shank as far as 
possible inside the clamp in order to avoid any bending 
or possible vibrating of the grinding wheel. 
MOUNTING GRINDING DISCS AND WHEELS 
WARNING! For safety reasons, the machine should 
always be unplugged from the mains before changing 
the disc or wheel. 
To mount the grinding wheel, insert the clip into the ma-
chine’s clip-holder shaft, insert the grinding wheel with the 
shaft in the clip and turn the nut with a 17-mm spanner, 
while holding the nut in place with a 13-mm spanner. 
The grinding wheel is dismounted by carrying out this 
procedure in reverse order. 
PRECAUTION: the clip securing nut must not be 
tightened unless a grinding wheel has been inserted 
into the clip. 
Protect discs and wheels from knocks and blows. 
STARTING THE TOOL 
WARNING! Check that the mains voltage is the same as 
that in the machine’s specifications. 
Plug the machine in with the switch off. 
Start the machine by turning the switch to position 1 
("ON"). To switch off, do the same in reverse. 
Speed adjustments 
The built-in module permits: 
-Soft start. 
-The maintenance of a practically constant rated speed 
up to rated power. 
The control electronics allow continuous pre-setting of 
the revolutions to adapt the machine to the type of 
material to be worked on. Adjustment is made using the 
speed adjustment switch C, which has 6 positions to 
regulate the speed.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE 
WARNING! Always unplug the machine before carrying 
out work on it. 
-Inspect the tool: Using a worn deburring or cutting 
tool will diminish the efficiency of the work and could 
damage the motor. 
-Inspect the mounting screws: Regularly inspect all 
the mounting screws and ensure they are firmly tighte-
ned. Should any screw be loose, tighten it immediate-
ly. Failure to do so could put you at serious risk. 
-Motor maintenance: Always take the greatest care 
over this and make sure that the motor winding is not 
damaged and does not become wet with oil or water. 
-The vents should always be kept clean and free of 
obstacles. 
-Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Blast the 
motor regularly with compressed air. 
-Check that the mains lead is in good condition. If it is 
not, take it to an Official Service Centre to have it 
replaced. 
-Brush replacement: The brushes should be replaced 
after 150 - 200 hours use or when they are less than 
10 mm long. Have this done by an Official Service 
Centre. We recommend that at every second change 
of brushes, you take the machine to one of our Official 
Service Centres for general cleaning and oiling. 
-Use only Felisatti accessories and spares. Parts the 
changing of which is not covered in this instruction
