Do not put the machine down when the motor is
still running.
OPERATION
•Hold the machine firmly and move it against the
workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly across the
workpiece.
•Move the machine during roughing under an angle of
30º - 40º across the workpiece (fig. 6).
Never use grinding discs for roughing!
•The machine must always work opposite to the
direction of rotation. Therefore, never move the
machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the
danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of
the cut (fig. 7).
•Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs have a
negative effect on efficiency of the machine. Replace
the grinding disc on time.
•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.
•Always switch off the machine first before removing
the plug from the wall socket.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the motor.

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the plug is removed from the mains when

The Ferm machines have been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper 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.
