Is an earthed mains power socket available?•
Are the power cord and plug in good condition (solid, without fraying or other damage)?•
Avoid the use of long extension cords. The extension cords you use must always be earthed.•
A grinding wheel is a brittle toolpiece.The stone is not resistant to knocks.•
Always grind on the front edge of the grinding wheel, and never on the side of the grinding•
wheel. Never fit a cracked grinding wheel. Replace it immediately, as the high rotational
speed could cause the stone to fly apart, causing a serious accident.
Always wear safety glasses when grinding.•
Never grind without the cover fitted over the grinding wheel.•
Always fit the grinding wheel cover and tool rest tightly, and with the correct clearance.•
Never allow more than 1-1.5 mm clearance between tool rest and grinding wheel.
Only use the grinding wheel for the work it was designed for (for example sharpening•
tools), and NOT for heavy construction work.
The following information must be available, before you fit any new grinding wheel:•
Details about the manufacturer.•
Binding material.•
Dimensions.•
Permissible rotational speed.•
Never ream out the hole in a grinding wheel to a larger diameter.•
The maximum rotational speed of the grinding wheel should never be allowed to exceed•
the maximum speed given for the wheel.
Never use any grinding wheel that is damaged or deformed.•
In order to be able to grind safely, the machine must be firmly bolted to a workbench.•
The tool rest should be replaced whenever the width of the tool rest measures less than 20•
mm.
The recommended depth of the recess in the flange (T) is 2 mm and the diameter of the•
spindle hole is 13 mm (see Fig. B, page 12).

Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 61029; it may be used to compare one tool
with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for
the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintainted accessories,
may significantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job,
may significantly reduce the exposure level
Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its
accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
ASSEMBLY
The grinder must be firmly bolted to a workbench. The length of the fixing bolts will depend on
the thickness of the workbench. If the workbench is made of steel, it is advisable to use a
wooden block or plank between the grinder and the bench, to insulate it and prevent vibration.
Assembly and adjustment of eye shield bracket and eye shield
Fig. C (page 12)
The eye shield bracket and eye shield should only ever be assembled/adjusted with the
grinding wheel stationary, and the machine disconnected from the power supply.
Fix the eye shield bracket (4) with attached eye shield to the grinding wheel cover, using•
the screw provided (A).
Set the eye shield bracket at the correct height. The clearance (B) between the wheel and the•
eye shield bracket should be 1 to 1.5 mm.
Next tighten the screw (A) firmly.•
Position the eye shield to give maximum protection when working.•
Always wear safety glasses.•
Fitting and adjusting tool rest
The tool rest should only be adjusted when the grinding wheel is completely stationary,
and the machine is disconnected from the power supply (the wall socket).

Fix it as tightly as possible in position, with a maximum clearance (C) of 1 to 1.5 mm•
between the tool rest and the grinding wheel.
Replacing the grinding wheel
Fig. D (page 12)
Required tools:
19 mm spanner•
8 mm spanner•
Screwdriver•
Only ever replace the grinding wheel when the motor is at a standstill and the power is
completely disconnected.
Remove the grinding wheel guards using the tools listed above. The spindle nut on the•
right-hand side has a right-handed thread. The spindle nut on the left-hand side has a left-
handed thread. Keep this in mind when you are replacing the grinding wheels.
Loosen the nut using the correct spanner. Remove the old wheel from the spindle.•
Clean the flanges. Place one flange (A) back on the spindle, with the hollow side facing the•
grinding wheel. Slide the new wheel onto the spindle. Place the second flange (A) on the
spindle, again with the hollow side facing the grinding wheel. Now tighten the nut on the
spindle. Do not overtighten! Now refit the grinding wheel cover, and again adjust the tool
rest correctly. Run the motor briefly, without grinding.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting the grinding wheel
Coarse grinding wheels will generally remove the most material, and fine grinding wheels are
used for finishing. If the surface is uneven, begin by using a coarse grinding wheel, and grind
the workpiece until it is smooth. Next use a fine grinding wheel to remove the grooves and
scratching left by the coarse wheel, and finish off the workpiece.
How to grind
To prevent the grinding surface from blocking up, avoid holding wood, lead or any other soft
material or metal against the grinding wheel. To avoid creating grooves, do not press the
workpiece too firmly on the grinding wheel. Use water to regularly cool the workpiece being
ground. Wood chisels and the like should never be sharpened‘blue’.
Take care not to lose your grip on the object being ground, as it may suddenly become jammed
between the tool rest and the grinding wheel. This can cause the stone to shatter, the motor to
seize, or the workpiece to fly off, all of which can cause injury and damage.
Whenever the machine has been in use for 30 minutes, it should be switched off. Allow the
machine to cool down to room temperature.
Switching the machine on•
Check that the switch is in the“OFF/0”position before connecting the machine to the•
power supply.
Press the power switch into the“ ON/1” position to start your bench grinder.•
Always keep the power cord out of the way of the tool’s moving parts.•
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I need to do when the motor becomes hot and cuts out?
Wait several minutes until the machine has cooled down, and then restart the machine. If•
this does not work, contact the customer service helpline.
What do I need to do when I switch the machine on, but it will not run?
Restart the machine or wait several minutes until the machine has cooled down, and then•
restart the machine. If this does not work, contact the customer service helpline.
