ASSEMBLY, COMMISSIONING AND USE

ASSEMBLY

Before commissioning for the first use, the equipment must be fully assembled with all its parts. Attach the eye shields , the workpiece support left and the workpiece support right , see Fig. 1). The bench grinder must be mounted on to a robust level surface, and if at all possible on to a fixed support, e.g. working surface, workbench. Use the four mounting holes.
POSITIONING WORKPIECE SUPPORTS AND EYE SHIELDS
To ensure safe working, the workpiece supports / and the eye shield mounts must be correctly positioned. Check and correct the settings at frequent intervals to ensure even wear on the grinding wheel. The clearance between the grinding wheel and the eye shield holder , and between the grinding wheel and the workpiece support ( or ) must be no more than 2 mm. Pull out the mains plug and loosen the workpiece support adjustment screw for setting. Bring the workpiece support close up to grinding wheel until the wheel just not longer moves. This is the correct setting. Retighten the adjustment screw and check using your hand that the grinding wheel movement is true and free. If the grinding wheel is worn so much that the above clearance can no longer be achieved even after adjustment of the workpiece support / or the eye shield mount , then the grinding wheel must be changed.

COMMISSIONING

Ensure that the equipment is switched off and that the ON/ OFF switch is in the "0" position. Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the equipment rating plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be connected to 220 V). ON / OFF switch in position "1" = equipment runs at a constant speed ON / OFF switch in position "0" = equipment is switched off
To grind metal tools or metal items, place the workpiece on the workpiece support / and slowly bring it close to the grinding wheel. Carefully press the workpiece against the grinding wheel. Too much pressure can lead to overloading of the bench grinder. Grinding should be carried out only on the circumference of the grinding wheels.
CHANGING A GRINDING WHEEL
Always make sure that the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the equipment and when it is out of use. You must only use grinding wheels on which the manufacturer's information, the type of adhesive, dimensions and permitted speed agree with the technical information specified for this bench grinder. Do not use any damaged or distorted grinding wheels. If you install new grinding wheels carryout a ringing test before use. Grinding wheels in good condition give a clear ringing noise when struck lightly with a plastic hammer. Take off the wheel guard cover , eye shield and the wheel edge cover , and slacken the workpiece mount /. You must ensure that the left-hand side of the bench grinder (see Fig. 2) has a left-hand thread and the right-hand side has a right-hand thread. The notched nut indicates the left-hand thread. The nut without notches corresponds to the right-hand thread. This ensures that the nuts can only be screwed off in the direction of rotation of the spindle. Now change the grinding wheels and reassemble all the components in the reverse order.

WARNING !

01. Do not interchange the flanges when attaching the grinding wheels (see Fig.2). 02. Use only the clamping flange supplied to mount the grinding wheels. Central fixing holes in grinding wheels are not to be redrilled. 03. Never operate the bench grinder without the wheel guard cover , eye shields or the wheel edge cover in place. Always fully reassemble the grinder before use. 04. Check and correct the setting of the work piece supports / and eye shield mounts at frequent intervals (as described in the Section "Positioning workpiece support and eye shields"). 05. After changing a grinding wheel, the grinder must to be run for a test period under no load of at least 5 minutes. Ensure that there is no one in the danger area.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always make sure that the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the equipment. The PDS 150 Bench Grinder does not generally require maintenance. Clean the bench grinder frequently. For best results, immediately after you have finished using it. Do not allow any liquids to enter the bench grinder. Use a soft cloth to clean the grinder.
