OPERATION
Always observe the safety instructions and applica-
ble regulations.
Do not place the machine on the workpiece when swit-
ching the machine on or off. The grinding disc may
damage the workpiece.
• Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the work-
piece cannot slide from under the machine during the
cutting activities.
• Hold the machine firmly and press it under an angle of
approximately 15˚ against the workpiece. Move the
grinding disc evenly across the workpiece.
• Regularly inspect the grinding disc. Worn grinding
discs have a negative effect on the efficiency of the
machine. Replace a grinding disc on time.
• Always switch off the machine first before removing
the plug from the wall socket.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
• Slide the on/off switch forwards.
• To switch off, depress the on/off switch, this will then
jump to the ‘off’ position.
Do not put the machine down when the motor is still
running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface.
Dust particles may enter the mechanism.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.
Never use the machine for grinding magnesium
workpieces.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when car-
rying out maintenance work on the motor.
The Ferm machines have been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon pro-
per machine care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local Ferm dealer.
In the back of this manual you find an exploded view
showing the parts that can be ordered.
ENVIRONMENT
In order to prevent the machine from damage during
transport, it is delivered in a sturdy packaging. Most of
the packaging materials can be recycled. Take these
materials to the appropriate recycling locations.
Take your unwanted machines to your local Ferm-
dealer. Here they will be disposed of in an environmen-
tally safe way.
