1.9 Disconnecting and securing the belt grinder
Disconnect the mains plug before starting maintenance and repairs.
1.10 Emissions
The noise emission of the belt grinder is in the range of 82 to 85 dB(A). If the belt grinder is
installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise exposure (immission)
on the operator of the belt grinder at the working place may exceed 85 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under the operating conditions specified
by the manufacturer. The noise behaviour of the machine might change depending on the age
and wear of the machine.
In addition, the value of the noise emission also depends on manufacturing factors, e.g. the wall
thickness of a sheet to be ground.
INFORMATION
The specified numerical value represents the emission level and does not necessarily a safe
working level. Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the
degree of the noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precau-
tion measures are required or not. The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise
exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping behaviour,
other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
other processes taking place in proximity and the period of time, during which the operator
is exposed to the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level might be different from country to
country due to national regulations. This information about the noise emission should, how-
ever, allow the operator of the machine to more easily evaluate the hazards and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic threshold values, machine
operators must wear appropriate hearing protectors. We generally recommend the use
of noise and ear protection.

3 Delivery, interdepartmental transport, assembly and
commissioning
3.1 Notes on transport, installation, commissioning
Improper transport, installation and commissioning is liable to accidents and can cause damage
or malfunctions to the machine for which we do not assume any liability or guarantee.
Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting or tilting with a sufficiently dimen-
sioned industrial truck or a crane to the installation site.
WARNING!
Severe or fatal injuries may occur if parts of the machine tumble or fall down from the
forklift truck or from the transport vehicle. Follow the instructions and information on the
transport box.
Note the total weight of the machine. The weight of the machine is indicated in the "Tech-
nical data" of the machine. When the machine is unpacked, the weight of the machine
can also be read on the rating plate.
Only use transport devices and load suspension gear that can hold the total weight of
the machine.
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension equipment that might break under load
can cause severe injuries or even death. Check that the lifting and load suspension gear
has sufficient load-bearing capacity and that it is in perfect condition.
Observe the accident prevention regulations issued by your Employers Liability Insur-
ance Association or other competent supervisory authority, responsible for your com-
pany. Fasten the loads properly.
3.1.1 General risks during internal transport
WARNING: TILTING DANGER!
The machine may be lifted unsecured by a maximum of 2 cm.
Employees must be outside the danger zone, i.e. the reach of the load.
Warn employees and advise them of the hazard.
Machines may only be transported by authorized and qualified persons. Act responsibly during
transport and always consider the consequences. Refrain from daring and risky actions.
Gradients and descents (e.g. driveways, ramps and the like) are particularly dangerous. If such
passages are unavoidable, special caution is required.
Before starting the transport check the transport route for possible danger points, unevenness
and faults.
Danger points, unevenness and disturbance points must be inspected before transport. The
removal of danger spots, disturbances and unevenness at the time of transport by other
employees leads to considerable dangers.
Careful planning of interdepartmental transport is therefore essential.

3.2 Unpacking and connecting
The belt grinder is mounted ready for operation. In order to obtain the correct direction of rota-
tion, the phase sequence must be changed if necessary. This is done at your three-phase con-
nection or - if equipped with it - at the three-phase connector by changing the phase sequence.
3.3 Scope of delivery
Check the belt grinder immediately after delivery for transport damage, missing parts and loose
locking bolts. Compare the scope of delivery with the delivery note. Sanding belts are available
in specialist shops or from our main catalogue.
3.4 Storage
ATTENTION!
Incorrect and improper storage might result in damage or destruction of electrical and
mechanical machine components.
Store packed and unpacked parts only under the intended environmental conditions.
Follow the instructions and information on the transport box.

Version 1.0.1 - 2020-10-14 11Translation of original instruction
GBS75 | GBS150 EN
GBS75_GBS150_GB.fm
The following points should be noted:
The device must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.
The ground must be suitable for the belt grinder.
Provide enough space for set-up and operating personnel and material transport.
Ensure adequate lighting is available (minimum value: 500 Lux, measured at the tool tip). In
the event of a lower level of lighting, additional illumination must be provided, e.g. by means
of a separate workplace light.
The power plug of the belt grinder must be readily accessible.
CAUTION!
Arrange the machine's connection cable in such a way that it will not cause a tripping
hazard.
3.5.2 Extraction socket
For certain operations, it may be appropriate to connect
the belt grinder to an extraction system or to an industrial
vacuum cleaner. The suction connection at the bottom
and the back of the belt grinder has an outer diameter of
60mm.
Use both extraction ports simultaneously or only one of
the two extraction ports that best suits the purpose of
extraction using the material. The second extraction con-
nection should be blindly closed to maintain the extraction
performance of your extraction system.
The GU2 from Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH is the ideal extraction unit. This suction
device has 60mm suction hoses, where both suction connections of the belt grinder can be
connected at the same time.

INFORMATION
Abrasive grains of corundum are glued onto abrasive paper with the aid of binders. Corundum
is aluminium oxide with the chemical name Al2O3. The grain size indicates whether an abra-
sive paper is coarse, medium, fine or very fine. Grain 100-180, for example, is a fine grain. The
numbers (40, 60, 80, 120) indicate the number of meshes per 25.4 mm length of one sieve side
of a vibrating sieve. The grain mixture of the abrasives is separated by vibrating screens
according to grain size. The higher the grain number, the finer the abrasive paper.
Unscrew the lateral screws (2) and open the cover.
