3.2 Adjustment of tool / material holder and angle guide plate.
1. Adjustment of tool / material rest and eye guard is outlined in section 1.4 and figure 4
2. Adjustment of upper angle guide. This guide is to be used as a guide when grinding
across the surface of the belt. This feature allows you to grind long or flat pieces of
material without obstructions. (Figure 14) The guide must be used to prevent the material
from getting away from you and causing possible injury. This guide can also be used at
an angle for grinding bevels on material. This adjustment is made by opening the top
cover (Rear cover flap must be folded forward before cover will open all the way. This
cover will rest on the motor) loosen the locking handle on the motor side of the machine
on the guide. Angle this guide to the angle you require by moving it up or down and
setting the desired angle. Make sure this guide is not on the belt but slightly above it.
Lock the handle down. (Figure 13) NOTE: When grinding on the surface use extreme
caution and safety measures!
3.3 Grinding of material:
1. Always introduce the material to the belt with a slow motion. Do not jab the material into
the belt. Doing this can cause the belt to tear or cut. Once contact is made with the belt
keep a firm steady pressure on it. Do not apply so much pressure that it causes the motor
to bog down. This creates excessive heat, contact wheel wear, belt wear and could cause
motor damage. Always hold the material with both hands! Always use the tool /
material rest or guide surfaces! Never make adjustments while the machine is
running!
