The bench grinder is in perfect technical condition.
•
The bench grinder is being used only for the intended use.
•
The operating manual is being adhered to.

4.1
Before beginning work
Before beginning work always check that the piece is free of oil, grease and remains of paint.
This will ensure that the grinding wheels do not become blocked or dirty.
Check the state of the grinding wheels. If they are dirty or muddied, they must be scraped clean
or replaced.
4.2
During work
If necessary, make a first grind of the piece
using the rough grinding wheel and then re-
grind it using the fine wheel.

4.2.1
Workpiece bearing plate
For certain grinding operations, the work-
piece bearing plate can be inclined. Use
the washers to level the difference in alti-
tude.
Please note that the inclination may reduce
the loading absorption of the support for
workpiece bearing plate.
The distance between the grinding wheel
and the workpiece bearing plate must be
as little as possible. Avoid overheating the
bench grinder.
Apply only slight pressure to the piece.
If a wheel has become very dirty, the sur-
face should be scraped with a hand-held
leveller.
