2 Operator’s guide
2.1 Operation
After adjustment and connection of the grinding machine it is ready for use. Lead the work piece to the
grinding wheel with a firm and level pressure to avoid destroying the grinding wheel and overloading the
motor. Avoid excessive pressure or uneven grinding. Let the machine run at max speed before start
grinding. Grind at max speed if possible. Clamp the work piece if possible as this is safer than holding
the work piece in your hands.
Avoid grinding on the side of the grinding wheel unless you grind on a cup wheel.
Do not stop the rotation of the grinding wheel by pressing the work piece against it. Let the grinding
wheel stop by itself. It is important to have the work place well-lighted.
2.2 Security
The existing safety rules must be kept in order to avoid personal or material injury when working with the
belt grinder.
A. User
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery to get caught in moving parts.
Non-slip foot wear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to protect long hair.
Always wear eye protection and face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Ordinary glasses cannot
replace eye protection.

Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Don´t operate tool while under influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
B. Use of Machine
Use right tool. Don´t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner´s manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause hazards.
C. Adjustment
Make all adjustments with the power off. In order to obtain the machine precision and correct ways of
adjustment while assembling, the user should read the detailed instruction in this manual.
D. Working Environment

to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.
Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
E. Maintenance
Disconnect machine from power source when making repairs.
Check damaged parts. To read every details of trouble shooting, repair it very carefully and make sure
the operator will not get injured and damage the machine.
2.3 Maintenance
The grinding machine must be placed on a dry place to avoid the grinding wheels from getting wet by
damp or rain.
The grinding wheel often gets uneven during use and therefore we recommend that you make it even
occasionally. We recommend that you replace the grinding wheel when it is worn about 25%. An uneven
grinding wheel causes vibrations which with time destroys the bearings in the machine.
Damaged tool rests, eye shields and covers must be replaced immediately to avoid personal injuries or
material damage.
When the grinding wheel must be replaced first dismount the spark arrester (A) (see fig.: 2.1), then
dismount the outer cover (B). The nut (C) is unscrewed and now the outer flange and the grinding wheel
