5. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check that the rated mains
voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the
rating label, match with your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a max. trip current
of 30 mA upstream.
Use only extension cables with a min. cross-section
2
of 1.5 mm . Extension cables must correspond to
the power consumption of the machine (cf
Technical Specifications). If a cable roller is used,
always roll up the cable completely.
5.1 Attaching the additional handle
Always work with the additional handle (8)
attached! Manually screw in the additional
handle securely in the left, centre or right threaded
hole (depending on requirements).
5.2 Attach the safety guard
(for working with abrasive discs)
Prior to operation: Attach safety
guard.
For reasons of safety, the safety guard (9)
should always be attached when roughing
work is performed.
For reasons of safety, the special parting
guard should always be attached before
parting work is performed (see chapter 10.
Accessories).
See illustration E on page 2.
- Open quick-release clamp (13). Mount the safety
guard (9) in the position indicated.
- Turn the safety guard until the closed section is
facing the operator.
- Close quick-release clamp.
- If necessary, increase clamping force of quick-
release clamp by tightening the screw (14) (with
opened quick-release clamp).

5.4 Power-supply connection
The mains sockets must be protected using time-
delay fuses or circuit breakers.

6. Attaching the grinding disc

Prior to any conversion work: Pull the mains
plug from the socket. The machine must be
switched off and the spindle at a standstill.
For reasons of safety, attach the parting guard
before performing parting work (see chapter
10. Accessories).
6.1 Locking the spindle
Press in the spindle locking button (2) only
when the spindle is stationary!
- Press in the spindle locking button (2) and
turn the spindle (1) by hand until the spindle
locking button engages.
6.2 Placing the grinding wheel in position
See illustration C on page 2.
- Fit the support flange (10) on the spindle. The
flange should not turn on the spindle when
properly attached.
- Position the grinding wheel on the support flange
(10) as shown in illustration C.
The grinding disc must lay flat on the supporting
flange.
6.3 Securing/Releasing the clamping nut
(depending on features)
Securing the clamping nut (11):
The 2 sides of the clamping nut are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle as follows:
See illustration D on page 2.
- A) For thin grinding discs:
The edge of the clamping nut (11) faces upwards
so that the thin grinding disc can be attached
securely.
B) For thick grinding discs:
The edge of the clamping (11) faces downwards
so that the 2-hole nut can be attached securely to
the spindle.
