5. Setting-up and Basic Adjustment

A grinding test run is carried out on each grinder in the manufac-

turer‘s factory. This is why you may fi nd ground material residue 

in the grinding mechanism!

5.1 Setting-up Area

Place the grinder on a level surface free from vibration.

Never operate the grinder in moist, or even 

worse, in wet surroundings.

5.2 Installation

You have received your grinder in operating condition. Now you 

only need to connect it to a power supply system. Proceed as fol-

lows:

Protect your device with a separate pre-fuse 

(not included in the scope of supplies) according 

to the information provided in „Technical data“ 

under 2. 

Make sure that the pre-fuse is not overloaded 

by other consuming devices (e.g. fan-forced 

heaters, deep freezers).

4. Safety Devices

Thermal overload circuit breaker

The motor of the grinder is protected by an overload circuit 

breaker, which interrupts the electric circuit of the motor when 

the device is subjected to electric overloading. To be able to re-

start the grinder, the reset button on the side of the casing must 

be pressed.

The user has no infl uence whatsoever on this 

operation. In case of repeated tripping of the cir-

cuit breaker, an expert must be consulted since 

this could cause damage to the motor winding.

Motor protector (winding shield)

The grinder is protected against thermal overloading by a motor 

protector (thermostat, inserted in the winding). Whenever the 

winding of the motor heats up to an impermissible level, the mo-

tor protector interrupts the electric circuit of the motor.

Following a cool-off phase (approx. 1 hr.), the motor protector is 

switched on again automatically and the grinder can be re-start-

ed.
