Installation and assembly

3.3.1 Requirements regarding the installation site

Organize the working area around the grinding machine according to the local safety regula-
tions.
WARNING!
The grinding machine must be connected to the substructure.
INFORMATION
In order to attain good functionality and a high processing accuracy as well as a long service life
of the machine, the place of installation should fulfil certain criteria.
Please observe the following points:
The device must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Avoid locations near machines generating chips or dust.

The installation site must be free from vibrations also at a distance from presses, planing

machines, etc.
The substructure must be suitable for the grinding machine. Also make sure that the floor

has sufficient load bearing capacity and is level.
The ground must be prepared in such a way that potential coolants cannot penetrate the

floor.
Any parts sticking out such as stops, handles, etc. have to be secured by measures taken

by the customer if necessary in order to avoid endangering persons.
Provide sufficient space for the personnel preparing and operating the machine and trans-

porting the material.
Also make sure the machine is accessible for setting and maintenance works.

Provide for sufficient backlight (Minimum value: 500 lux, measured at the tool tip). At lower

illumination intensities, additional illumination must be provided, e.g. by means of a sepa-
rate workplace lamp.
The mains plug of the grinding machine must be readily accessible.

CAUTION!
Arrange the machine's connection cable in such a way that it will not cause a tripping
hazard.
3.4

First commissioning

For first commissioning, the grinding wheels must be trued with a dressing stone to ensure the
true running of the grinding wheels.
Grinding wheels made from compound abrasives have a natural imbalance as a result of the
pressing process during the manufacturing process. Compound grinding wheels have a higher
or lower density in some areas. This natural imbalance cannot be removed with a dressing
stone, however, the imbalance of the machine can be reduced by turning the grinding wheel,
e.g. by 180° on the grinding wheel shaft.
