Operation - Scheppach Tiger5000s Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

• Lightly tap the grinding disc with a non-metallic ham-
mer. A crack-free disc has a high, purely bell-like
sound. A disc that has a crack produces a muffled
sound. If the grindstone is flawless, it can be fitted.
Installing the grindstone (Fig. 3 + 4)
Only use grindstones with identical technical data
(see 6. Technical data).
• Remove the nut (11) with an open-ended spanner,
the outer washer (9) and the cardboard transport
sleeve of the grinding shaft (10). To do so, firmly
hold the star grip for the leather honing wheel (14).
Attention: Left-handed thread.
• The water tank (8) must be removed. (see 9.4)
• Place the grindstone on the grinding shaft (10). The
inner washer must be behind the grindstone.
• Fit the grindstone (12) as shown in Fig. 2.
• Fasten the grindstone with the washer (9) and the
nut (11) using an open-ended spanner. To do so,
firmly hold the star grip of the leather honing wheel
(14). Attention: Left-handed thread.
Fitting the workpiece support (1) (Fig. 5 + 6)
The workpiece support (1) can be attached both to
the upper mount for workpiece support (2) and to the
side mount for workpiece support (15). This depends
on whether you wish to work with or against the grind-
ing direction.
Fitting the upper mount
• To attach the workpiece support (1) to the upper
mount for workpiece support (2), first attach the
two loose star grip screws (3). Screw them into the
upper workpiece support (2) (threaded hole) at the
intended position with approx. 2-3 turns.
• Then insert the workpiece support into the holes of
the upper mount for workpiece support (2).
• Fasten this at the desired height with the two star
grip screws (3).
Fitting the side mount
• The two star grip screws (3) for the side mount for
workpiece support (15) are pre-assembled.
• To mount the workpiece support (1) here, insert the
workpiece support into the holes in the side mount
for workpiece support (15).
• The workpiece support (1) is now fixed for the first step.
Installing the water tank (Fig. 7 + 8)
• Attach the water tank (8) in the lowest position to
the brackets for the water tank (16) (behind the
grindstone) on the machine housing (5). (Fig. 6)
• Then fill the tank with water up to the recess. (Fig. 7)
Fitting the star knob screw on the rear (fig. 14 + 15)
• Put a nut (A) in the recess.
• Screw the second nut (B) onto the rear star knob
screw (23).
22 | GB
• Turn the star knob screw on the rear (23) through
the machine housing into the nut (A) until you feel a
slight resistance.
• Now lock both nuts (A + B)

9. Operation

ATTENTION!
Remove the mains plug before any maintenance,
modification and assembly work.
ATTENTION!
Always make sure to remove the transport lock-
ing screw A before commissioning! (fig. 2)
Grinding direction (Fig. 5 + 6)
This primarily depends on whether you wish to work
with or against the grinding direction.
If you wish to remove large quantities of steel quickly
(e.g. from very old, rusty tools) or if you want to grind
coarse tools such as axes, it is advisable to work
against the grinding direction.
If you wish to grind more accurately, we recommend
working with the grinding direction. This applies, for
example, when grinding tools and blades.
Please note that the grinding process is slowed down
when you work with the direction of rotation. Please
check before each operation that the surface of the
grindstone is flat. To do this, lower the workpiece sup-
port onto the stone and turn it manually through 360°.
If necessary, break off uneven material with a stone
cutter.
Water tank (Fig. 8)
• Fill the water tank with water up to the recess. The
grindstone absorbs water; top up water if neces-
sary. Do not perform grinding without water. Since
the diameter of the grindstone decreases with the
number of grinding operations, the grindstone (12)
will no longer touch the water in the water tank (8).
The grindstone can no longer absorb water. If nec-
essary, the water tank (8) must be placed in the
upper holder for the water tank (16).
• When the grinding process is complete, lower the
water tank to prevent the grindstone from remain-
ing in the water for an extended period of time.
• Empty the water tank regularly. Otherwise steel
particles and grinding dust will accumulate in the
reservoir and compact.
• Expert tip: Such accumulations can be avoided by
placing a magnet in the water.
