6.5 Connecting the vacuum cleaner
(Fig. 6):
Attention:
Before connecting the vacuum cleaner, always
disconnect the mains plug to prevent the disc
from starting up inadvertently. Risk of injuries!
We recommend you always work with the vacuum
cleaner! This not only guarantees clean work but
also reduces the harmful effect of some dusts!
1. Slide rubber adapter 1 onto suction connection
2
2. Insert vacuum cleaner nozzle 3 in rubber
adapter 1
3. Switch on vacuum cleaner while working
Here's another tip:
Using the Proxxon CW-matic vacuum cleaner
omits that annoying manual activation and deac-
tivation. The CW-matic is equipped with an auto-
matic control that switches on and off automati-
cally whenever the electrical tool is activated or
deactivated.
7 Working with the disc sander
TSG 250/E:
Safe and accurate work is only possible with care-
ful fastening!
Never leave an activated device unsupervised.
1. Switch on the disc sander.
2. Adjust the rotational speed of the sanding disc
with speed controller 1 (Fig. 1).
3. Place the work piece on the work table and
guide with sensitivity and little force.
4. Exert more pressure on the work table and less
pressure against the sanding disc.
For good sanding results, please note the follow-
ing points:
Do not overload the device!
First and foremost, the disc sander is a machine
for sanding accurate angles. Cutting your work
piece very accurately beforehand will make your
desired machining easier and faster while requir-
ing less sanding discs.
Caution!
Note:
The sanding disc rotates anticlockwise. It is there-
fore advisable to sand using the left half of the
work table.
1. If you will be sanding mitres, adjust the required
sanding table angle beforehand, as described
earlier
2. Insert the mains plug
3. Use switch 2 (Fig. 1) to activate the device
4. Set the required rotational speed at the rota-
tional speed regulating knob (Pos. 1, Fig. 1)
Only use perfect sanding discs. Replace worn out
sanding discs in time.
7.1 Notes on sanding speed
The sanding speed of your TSG 250/E is infinitely
adjustable from approx. 250 - 750 m/min. This
enables you to optimally adjust to different mate-
rial features. Please also note that the circumfer-
ential speed of the sanding disc is greatest along
the outside and decreases towards the centre
(see Fig. 7).
General recommendations on selecting the sand-
ing speed are difficult; it is best you experiment
to find out the correct sanding speed for „your"
material or work piece.
Empirically, non-ferrous metals and plastic require
less sanding speeds than soft and hard woods;
the same also applies to ceramics and glass.
In conclusion: Recommendations, as said, are dif-
ficult: the right speed depends on the material,
contact pressure or abrasive wear and the grit of
the sanding discs.
7.2 Working with the angle stop (Fig. 8):
If you will be sanding the ends of thinner strips to
mitre, it is expedient to use the angle stop
included in the scope of delivery.
1. Insert the angle stop (Pos. 5, Fig. 1) with the
stop rail into the designated groove.
2. Release clamping screw 1 (Fig. 8).
3. Set the required angle on scale 2 and re-tighten
clamping screw 1.
4. Guide the desired work piece at the limit stop
against the sanding disc as shown in the image
Caution!
