This manual serves to give details of Specification, Health & Safety, Installation & Assembly.

Please ensure you have sufficient basic skill before using this machine.

Considerations of environmental issues are an integral part of the design, production and other associated aspects of this product, and

all reasonable environmentally friendly options have been adopted throughout.

Users are advised to consider environmental issues associated with the use of this product, particularly when considering workpiece

material. Confirmation of sourcing from well-managed forests is advisable whenever practically possible.

The WEEE regulations aim to encourage reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic waste. The document outlining the

WEEE guidelines is available at http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/weee.

followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

1. Eye Protection

The operation of any power tool can result in

foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye

damage. Always wear safety glasses or other suitable eye protection. Wear

safety glasses at all times. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses.

They are not safety glasses which give additional lateral protection. It is also

important to wear ear protectors when operating the table saw.

2. Keep work area clear.

4. Guard against electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.

5. Keep other persons away (and pets).

Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the

machine, or extension cord (if used) and keep visitors away from the work area.

6. Store idle tools.

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked- up place, out of reach

of children.

7. Do not force the machine.

It will do the job better and work more safely if operated at the speed at which

• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in

moving parts.

• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

10. Use protective equipment

• Use safety glasses. (See note 1. above)

• Use face or dust shield if cutting operation creates dust.

• Use ear plugs or ear defenders when the machine is in use

11. Connect dust extraction equipment.

12. Do not abuse the cord.

within the terms of this Guarantee and you follow the claims procedure as

outlined below;

3. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

3.1 In the first instance please contact the retailer who supplied the product

to you. In our experience many initial problems with machines that are thought

to be due to faulty parts are actually solved by correct setting up or adjustment

of the machines. A good dealer should be able to resolve the majority of these

issues much more quickly than processing a claim under the guarantee.

3.2 If the dealer who supplied the product to you has been unable to satisfy

your query, any claim made under this Guarantee should be made directly to

3.3 PLEASE NOTE that it is essential that the letter of claim reaches the

address below on the last day of this Guarantee at the latest. Late claims will

not be considered.

3.4 We will contact you once we have received your initial written claim. If

specification label. The fuse rating must be 13A.

Any re-wiring must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Remember to check that the stone is running down towards the toolrest before using the machine.

Secure the machine firmly to a work bench or pedestal. the pedestal used must be fixed on a firm level surface.

Abrasive wheels must be checked to make sure that the speed rating of the wheel exceeds the maximum

speed stated on the machine specification label.

BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR CHECK THAT:

• End shields are secured to the main wheel guard by screws, which must be secured at all times.

• Wheel can be revolved freely by hand.

• Spark arrestors are adjusted to within 2mm (1/8”) of periphery face of wheel and firmly secured.

WHEN STARTING AND USING THE MACHINE:

• Check that the wheel, especially a new replacement wheel, is in sound condition by allowing the machine

to run up to maximum speed and remain there for at least 30 seconds. During this check make sure that all

personnel are standing clear of the machine.

• Allow the machine to run up to full speed before applying the workpiece to be ground.

• Feed the workpiece smoothly on to the grinding wheel and avoid harsh intermittent pressure and bumping

on to the wheel.

• Always apply light but firm pressure and allow the wheel to rotate at the maximum possible speed.

• Avoid excessive pressure as this will tend to decrease the wheel speed and the amount of stock removal,

• Check the wheel dimensions: the outer diameter must not exceed recommended measurement and the

hole must be correct as specified on the machines specification plate. The wheel should easily slide on to the

spindle shaft and must never be forced on with pressure.

• Before mounting a wheel, it must be checked for flaws and damage. Test wheel by letting it hang

freely and hitting it lightly with a piece of wood. A good wheel should make a clean clear metallic

sound, while a defective wheel will sound “dead”.

• If reduction bushes for wheel’s hole size are used, check that they do not protrude over the sides of

the wheel.

• The wheel must be supplied with washers of paper or compressible material placed around the hole on

over tightening as this can cause damage to the wheel.

Store spare grinding wheels flat on a firm surface with a layer of compressible material between the wheels

and the storage surface. Similar material should be placed between them when a number are being stored.

As the grinding wheel is used it will wear. It is recommended that the wheel is replaced when the diameter

has been reduced approximately 25% below its original size (e.g 300mm to 225mm : 200mm to 150mm :

150mm to 112mm : 125 to 94mm).

Wear on the wheel can cause eccentricity leading to machine vibration and “bouncing of workpiece”.

Unless this condition is corrected it can result in further damage to the wheel and possible harm to the

motor bearings.

IMPORTANT - THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED

Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before making any adjustment to the wheels or any

other attachment. Check the supply cable and replace if damaged. Replacement of the power cable should

only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The earth wire must always be connected and maintained. Keep the area around the machine as clean as

possible.

Replace damaged tool rests and spark shields. Failure to do this can cause accidents.
