For your safety.
Do not use this machine before you have thor-
oughly read and completely understood theseop-
erating instructions, including the figures,
specifications, and safety regulations.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safe-
tyregulations (e. g. in Germany: BGV A2, BGR 500).
Non-observance of the safety instructions in the said
documentation can lead to an electric shock, burns
and/or severe injuries.
This Instruction Manual should be kept for later use and
enclosed with the power tool, should it be passed on or
sold.
Read and observe the operating instructions of the
belt grinder GX75, which is to be mounted to this
machine.
For assembly of the cylindrical grinding device to the belt
grinder, use only the fastening material provided. Faulty
assembly can cause the cylindrical grinding device to
loosen from the belt grinder during operation and lead to
serious accidents.
Intended use of the machine.
The cylindrical grinding device GXC is to be used
together with the belt grinder GX75 exclusively for
grinding and polishing round steel pipes, light metal pipes
as well as solid round stock with diameters D = 10–
100 mm using the application tools and accessories rec-
ommended by FEIN in weather-protected environments.
The cooling unit GXW is intended for cooling of the
workpiece.
Special safety instructions.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
While working, do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or
open, long hair. Despite protective devices, loose objects
can be snagged or caught by moving parts and lead to
injury.
Before switching on, make sure that no workpiece is
inserted in the cylindrical grinding device. The work-
piece can be thrown from the machine and cause serious
accidents.
Never touch the running grinding belt. Danger of
injury.
In situations of danger, immediately press the safety
pushbutton. The machine runs on for approx. 50 sec-
onds.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regu-
lar intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the
motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
The mains plug of the machine may be mounted only by
a qualified electrician. The protective conductor in the
mains socket outlet must be connected with the protec-
tive earthing of the mains supply.
Pull out the mains plug for maintenance and repair!
Switching the machine on unintentionally can lead to
serious injuries.
Have the electrical safety of the machine checked regu-
larly in accordance with statutory regulations. For
machines that have not been checked, there may be dan-
ger of electrical shock!
Check the rotation direction of the motor before starting
the operation of the machine for the first time. If the rota-
tion direction of the motor is incorrect, the workpiece
can be thrown from the machine and cause an accident.
The rotation direction may be changed only by a quali-
fiedelectrician.
Always work with great care and attention, especially
when inserting and removing the material. If your atten-
tion fades, your hands may be seriously injured.
The surface being worked can become very hot. Do not
touch it with your hands.
Be careful when working short or thin material. When
inserting and removing, your hands may be caught by the
grinding belt or brake wheel, causing serious injury.
For longer pipes and round stock, we recommend the
using the pipe guide GXIS-1/GXIS-2.
Exercise caution after switching off. The machine runs on
for approx. 50 seconds. Carry out adjustments and main-
tenance only when the grinding belt is stopped.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where mate-
rial is removed, dusts develop that can be hazardous to
one's health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate particles
from materials containing stone, paint solvents, wood
preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger
allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or
lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts
depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched
appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal
protective equipment and provide for good ventilation of
the workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-contain-
ing materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding dust
and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfavourable
conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in the
direction of the dust collector as well as overheating of
the power tool and the materials being sanded, empty the
dust collector/container in time, observe the material
manufacturer's working instructions, as well as the rele-
vant regulations in your country for the materials being
worked.
