5. Set-up and Basic Adjustment
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 follows:
Protect your device with a separate pre-fuse (not in-
cluded in the scope of supplies) according to the infor-
mation provided in para. 2 „Technical data“.
Make sure that the pre-fuse is not overloaded by oth-
er consuming devices (e.g. fan-forced heaters, deep
freezers).
Determine whether the mains voltage and frequency
correspond to the information on the rating plate.
Insert the plug into the available grounded outlet.
5.3 Initial operation
A grinding test run is carried out on each grinder in the manufacturer‘s
factory. This is why you may find ground material residue in the grinding
mechanism!

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 sub-
jected to electric overloading. To be able to re-start the grinder, the reset
button on the back side of the casing must be pressed (Pos. 6).
The user has no influence whatsoever on this opera-
tion. In case of repeated tripping of the circuit break-
er, an expert must be consulted since this could cause
damage to the motor winding.
Motor protector (winding shield)
(only 115V / 60Hz)
The grinder is protected against thermal overloading by a motor protec-
tor (thermostat, inserted in the winding). Whenever the winding of the
motor heats up to an impermissible level, the motor protector interrupts
the electric circuit of the motor.
Following a cool-off phase (at least 100 minutes), the motor protector is
switched on again automatically and the grinder can be re-started
Finger protector / Magnet holder
A combined finger protector / magnet holder is fitted in the hopper of
the grinder. It is supposed to prevent the user from reaching into the
running grinding mechanism. At the same time, it also prevents ferrous
foreign objects from getting into the grinding mechanism. Every now
and then you should clean the magnet since adhering foreign objects
could be hanging from the magnet.
Never remove the finger protection!
