User manual PARKSIDE PDS 150 BENCH GRINDER

[. . . ] We are delighted that you have decided to purchase our high quality PDS 150 Bench Grinder. Please make sure you familiarise yourself fully with the way the equipment works before you use it for the first time and that you understand how to handle electrical power tools correctly. Please read the operating instructions below and the accompanying safety advice carefully. [. . . ] The bench grinder must be mounted on to a robust level surface, and if at all possible on to a fixed support, e. g. Use the four mounting holes ³. í 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 µ. The clearance between the grinding wheel µ and the eye shield holder », and between the grinding wheel µ and the workpiece support (¿ or ¶) must be no more than 2 mm. Pull out the mains plug and loosen the workpiece support adjustment screw ² for setting. Bring the workpiece support close up to grinding wheel µ until the wheel just not longer moves. Retighten the adjustment screw ² and check using your hand that the grinding wheel µ movement is true and free. If the grinding wheel µ 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. í COMMISSIONING Ensure that the equipment is switched off and that the ON/ OFF switch ´ is in the "0" position. 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 í USE To grind metal tools or metal items, place the workpiece on the workpiece support ¿/¶ and slowly bring it close to the grinding wheel µ. Grinding should be carried out only on the circumference of the grinding wheels. 5 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. 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 º, eye shield · and the wheel edge cover ¾, 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. This ensures that the nuts can only be screwed off in the direction of rotation of the spindle. [. . . ] In the unlikely event of detecting a functional defect, please return the equipment in its original packaging with the proof of purchase (if available) to the closest service address. Damage caused due to improper handling as well as regular wear of the parts are not covered by this warranty.
