1. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT
The Kaindl electrode grinding machine incl. diamond grinding wheel is ideal for grinding
of tungsten carbide welding electrodes diameter 1,0 - 4,0 mm with a top angle 15° - 180°.
The centric pointing in longitudinal direction grants a stable arc and a longer lifetime of the
tungsten carbide electrodes.
The Kaindl electrode-grinding machine is exclusively for:
•  grinding of tungsten carbide welding electrodes with diameter from 1,0 - 4,0 mm
•  for grinding of shot plasma electrodes only in connection with the designated use of
 bushes (option)
•  The machine is only designed for occasional grinding of electrodes, in connection
 with a dust exhaust or industrial vacuum cleaner. A filter class M is forced.
For other use than listed here, the machine is not designed for and is regarded as a matter
of adverse use!
The directed use includes also reading this operation manual, as well as keeping well
containing directions of use - expecially the security information. Further it includes that all
inspections and maintenance works are carried out during the provided periods.
In case the Kaindl electrode grinding machine is no used as per the intended purpose, as
save operation cannot be granted.
For all material- and personal damages arising by not intended use, not the manufacturer,
but the user of the Kaindl electrode grinding machine is responsible.
Environmental conditions for set up: Use the electrode grinding machine only in dry rooms.
The WIG 4 is a table machine. Please pay attention that the machine has a solid and safe
stand on a plan surface. The place for set up must grant a vibration free running of the
machine.
Environmental temperature:   from 5+ to +50° C
Humidity:      up to 90%, not condensing  

5. GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE
1.  To grant a protection against electric overflow, the machine must be plugged in a
 socket with protective plug reception.
2.  By using an electric extension cable, take care that the lead cables have minimum
 1,5 mm2 cross-section.
3. We recommend FI protections for the main circuit connection!
4.  The protective contact of the plug and coupling must be connected.
5. The specification shown on the type plate of the machine must match with the data
 of the local power supply main.
6.  Check the machine for damages.
7.  Vacuum the grinding dust! This is especially recommended by permanent use.
 By using a industrial vacuum cleaner pay attention to the filter class. only use filters
 having class "M".
8.  ATTENTION! Before removing or opening the machine, disconnect the main
 plug!
The Kaindl electrode grinding machine has been designed and constructed unter
consideration of an endangering analysis and careful selection of observed harmonized
normes, as well as further technical specifications.
This safety can only be achieved in daily work, when all necessary steps are taken. It is the
duty of taking care by the user to plan and control these steps.
The user has to take care that:
•  the machine is used as directed (see chapter description)
•  the machine is used flawless workable condition, especially that the safety
 installations are checked.
•  the operation manual is always in a readable condition, complete and available near
 the machine.
•  all safety and warning stickers placed on the machine are in a readable condition
 and hat not been removed.

7. START UP AND OPERATION
7
1.  Connect the dust exhaust of industrial vacuum cleaner with Filter type M to the pipe (7)
2.  Degrease the electrodes before grinding, best with spirit or similar.
3.  Adjust the top angle after opening the clamping lever (5), the number on the scale
 corresponds to the top angle of the finished electrode
4.  Switch on the dust exhaust
5.  Select the diameter of the electrode with the adjustment slide (3)
6.  Turn on the machine with the main switch (1)
7.  Adjust the drive control with knob number (4) to the
 requested diameter (see display)
8.  Tuck the electrode through the electrode guide with the
 selected diameter of boring
9.  Turn the drive control (4) anticlockwise until the
 electrode turns constantly
10.  Finish the grinding operations, tear back the drive control (4)
 and withdraw the electrode simultaneously
11.  Switch of the machine with the main switch (1)
12.  Switch off the dust exhaust
ATTENTION! By using the bushes (special accessory) let project the electrodes around
10 mm !

8. CHANGE OF GRINDING WHEEL
8
For changing the grinding wheel absolutely disconnect from electric current!
1. First loosen the screw which holds the electrode drive with a 13 mm engineers
 wrench (page 5, No. 6).
2. Open the screws of the transparent plastic cover with a four-way rim wrench.
3. Then tuck the hexagon socket wrench 2,5 mm through the opening on the right
 side of the sheet metal casing and open the setscrew. (see picture 1+2).
4. Now you can pull off the diamond wheel.
When placing the new diamond wheel on the motor spindle, pay attention that the
marking on the motor spindle and on the diamond wheel are in line (see picture). Now
mount the other parts on the machine. Adjust the diamond wheel in the way, that at a top
angle adjustment of 15° the wheel has a gap of 0,4 mm to the adjustment slide.
