the safety instructions and the intended use as well as
the entire operating instructions.
Assembly
Upon delivery, the machine is completely assembled and
is, thus, ready to work immediately.
Installation and Adjustment
Please make sure that your grinding machine is installed
in an upright and stable manner on a firm ground with
sufficient illumination.
The machine has no front or rear side. You can alternatively
grind with or against the direction of rotation.
Electrical Connection
The installed electric motor is connected and is ready to
work.
The connection complies with the relevant VDE and DIN
regulations.
The connection to the mains supply on the customer side and
the used extension line must meet these regulations or the
provisions of the local power supply company.
Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical connection
lines.
The possible causes are:
• Drag marks if connection lines are led through window or
door clearances. .
• Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the
connection line.
• Cuts caused by running over the connection line.
• Insulation damages caused by pulling the connection
line out of the wall socket.
• Fissures caused by the aging of the insulation. Such
defective electrical connection lines must not be
used and are, due to the insulation damages, life
threatening!
Regularly check the electrical connection lines for
damages. Please make sure that the connection lines are
disconnected from the mains supply during the check.
Electrical connection lines must meet the applicable VDE
and DIN regulations and the provisions of the local power
supply company. Only use connection lines labeled with
H 07 RN. The labeling of the connection cable with the
type specification is required.
A.C. Motor
• The supply voltage must be 220÷240 V/50 Hz.
• Extension lines up to a length of 25 m must have a
minimum cross section of 1.5 mm², lines with a length
exceeding 25 m must have a minimum cross section of
2.5 mm².
• The mains connection is protected with a maximum of
16 A.
Connections and repairs of the electrical equipment may
only be performed by an electrician.
