3 Product Description
3.1 Components and proper usage
The grinding machine is a portable fitting tool for fabricating (preparing) belting material. The
belting material is grounded in a wedge shape.
The grinding machine consists of the following components:
3.2 Mode of operation
Grinding machines of the ASG ... type are used in fabricating belting material for grinding the ends
of splice in a wedge shape, for example to prepare wedge splices. The maxim width of belting
material that can be wor ed is 300 mm or 1000 mm with a cut-off angle of 60°, the maximum
thic ness of material is 8 mm.
For the grinding process, the belt material is affixed on the grinding table and by swaying the belt
grinder the wedge-shaped grind is generated.
Note:
When fabricating (preparing) always refer to the appropriate splicing instructions for the belt type
to be spliced.
You can find more information on how the grinding machine wor s in the section “5 Handling”.

5.4 Bevelling the first end of the splice (carrying side to the top)
1. Switch the belt grinder on.
2. Position the belt grinder so far downwards, so that a wedge-shaped cut is generated.
3. The length of the cut can be shortened or elongated by means of a nurled-head-screw.
(cutting angle)
4. Start with the grinding process by swaying the belt grinder crosswise.

Operating instruction: B013 Edition: 01/2015 Subject to alterations.
