Test run!
Check the grinding tool before use. The
grinding tool must be flawlessly mounted
and be able to rotate freely. Perform a test
run of at least 30 seconds without load. Do
not use damaged, out-of-round or vibrating
grinding tools.
Starting Current Limiting (Type J)
As a result of soft starting, a 13-A fuse is
adequate.
A machine without reduced starting cur-
rent requires higher fuse protection (use
at least a 13 A time-delay fuse).
Operating Instructions
Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain
stationary due to its own weight.
Do not load the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
Roughing and cutting discs become very
hot while working; do not touch until they
have cooled.

Rough Grinding

With an approach angle of 30° to
40°, the best roughing results can
be achieved. Move the machine
back and forth with moderate pres-
sure. In this manner, the work piece
will not become too hot, does not
discolour and no ridges are formed.
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
Flap disc
With the flap disc (optional extra), curved sur-
faces and profiles (contour sanding) can be
worked.
Flap discs have a considerably higher service life
than sanding sheets, lower noise level and lower
sanding temperatures.
