2)Attach the eye guards 3 to the eye guard mounts 2 , one each on the left and right sides. Use the illustrated fixings in the arrange- ment shown (see Figs. I, K).

Note: The illustrations show the left side.

3)Attach the two workpiece/tool rests 5 to the

inside of the wheel guard covers 7 , one each on the left and right sides. Use the illustrated fixings in the arrangement shown (see Figs. L, M). Note: The illustrations show the left side.

jMount the double grinding machine on a firm, level surface, if at all possible on a fixed sup- port, e.g. working surface, workbench. Use the four mounting holes 8 and suitable fixings (not supplied). Refer to Figure C.

10 GB/IE/CY

Positioning the workpiece / tool rests and eye guard mounts

To ensure safe working, the workpiece/tool rests 5 , the eye guards 3 and the eye guard mounts 2 must be correctly positioned.

jCheck and correct the settings at frequent inter- vals to ensure even wear on the grinding wheels 4 .

Adjusting the workpiece/tool rests

1)To adjust the setting, first loosen the adjuster screw 6 .

2)Bring the workpiece/tool rest close up to the grinding wheel 4 , the distance between the grinding wheel 4 and the workpiece/tool rest

(5) must be no more than 2 mm.

3)Retighten the adjuster screw 6 and check us- ing your hand that the grinding wheel 4 movement is true and free.

Adjusting the eye guard mounts

1)To adjust the setting, first loosen the fastening screw 14 .

2)Bring the eye guard mount 2 close up to the grinding wheel 4 , the distance between the grinding wheel 4 and the eye guard mount 2 must be no more than 2 mm.

3)Retighten the fastening screw 14 and check us- ing your hand that the grinding wheel 4 movement is true and free. A worn out grinding wheel 4 needs to be replaced. This is neces- sary when the specified gap cannot be achieved even after readjusting the positions of the workpiece/tool rest 5 and/or the eye guard mount 2 .

Preparing for first use
