Stow DFG Series manual Adjusting the Operator Handle HEIGHT. Application All Models

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR HANDLE HEIGHT. Application: All Models.

The DFG Series SURFACE GRINDER incorporates a handle that can be adjusted to compensate for variances in operator heights. Three adjustment heights are provided. Correct handle height can increase overall machine productivity and reduce operator fatigue.

FIGURE 29

Tools Required:

1 each, 3/4 wrench or suitable alternative.

1)Using the wrench, loosen the 1/2-inch hexagon nuts from the stud assemblies that retain the handle to the main frame.

2)Using the wrench, remove the 1/2-inch cap screws that retain the handle in position on the main frame.

DANGER

EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE RETAINING CAPSCREWS FROM THE MAIN FRAME. WHEN THE FINAL CAPSCREW IS REMOVED, THE HANDLE IS PROVIDED WITH NO EXTERNAL SUPPORT AND WILL IMMEDIATELY DROP TO THE FLOOR. SUCH OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

3)Reposition the operator handle in the desired location that aligns the hole in the handle with the threaded hole in the main frame. Replace the 1/2-inch hexagon cap screws and properly tighten with the wrench. FIGURE 30.

4)Using the wrench, properly tighten the 1/2-inch hexagon nuts on the stud assemblies that retain the handle to the main frame.

STARTING THE DFG/E SERIES ELECTRICALLY POWERED SURFACE GRINDER ON THE JOBSITE.

1)Position the SURFACE GRINDER on a flat and level surface of firm foundation.

2)Determine that the ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle is in the OFF position.

DANGER

UNEXPECTED MACHINE START UP CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

3)Select the appropriate operating voltage for the electric motor. The motor is designed to operate from a clean, 20 ampere, 115 VAC, 60 Hz nominal or a clean, 10 ampere, 230 VAC, 60 Hz nominal power source. A clean power source refers to the amperage available on the individual electrical circuit selected. Additional electrical products already utilizing the same circuit will reduce the available amperage, resulting in starting and operational difficulties.

A voltage switch (115/230 VAC, 60 Hz) is provided on the motor. For added security, the voltage switch can be locked in position with a combination or keyed lock with an extended shank length. FIGURE 31.
