Warning!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
Residual Risks
The machine has been constructed according to the state of the art and the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, single residual risks may occur during the operation.

The rotating grinding wheel may cause injuries to fingers and hands.
The danger is caused by electric current if inappropriate electrical connecting lines are used.
Furthermore, nonobvious residual risks may exist in spite of all measures taken.
Residual risks can be minimized by carefully observing the safety instructions and the intended use as well as the entire operating instructions.

Assembly

Assemble the grinding stone (A) and the star knob (B) as shown in fig. 1.
Then place the workpiece surface (C) into the bracing element and secure it, using the help of the star knobs (see fig. 1)
The water tank should be hooked into its port (D) (see fig. 5).

Installation and Adjustment
Please make sure that your grinding machine is installed in an upright and stable manner on firm ground with sufficient illumination.
The machine has no front or rear side. You can alternatively grind with or against the direction of rotation.

Electrical Connection
The installed electric motor is connected and is ready to work.
The connection complies with the relevant VDE and DIN regulations.
The connection to the mains supply on the customer side and the used extension line must meet these regulations or the provisions of the local power supply company.

Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical connection lines. The possible causes are:

Drag marks if connection lines are led through window or door clearances.
Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the connection line.
Cuts are caused by running over the connection line.
Insulation damages are caused by pulling the connection line out of the wall socket.
Fissures are caused by the aging of the insulation. Such defective electrical connection lines must not be used and are, due to the insulation damages, life-threatening!

Regularly check the electrical connection lines for damages. Please make sure that the connection lines are disconnected from the mains supply during the check. Electrical connection lines must meet the applicable VDE and DIN regulations and the provisions of the local power supply company. Only use connection lines labeled with H07RN. The labeling of the connection cable with the type specification is required.
A.C. Motor

The mains connection is protected with a maximum of 16 A.

Connections and repairs of the electrical equipment may only be performed by an electrician.

Working Instructions

The direction of Grinding (Fig. 1, Fig. 2)
It mainly depends on your requirements whether you want to work with or against the direction of grinding. If you want to quickly remove large quantities of steel (e.g. from very old, rusty tools) or if you want to grind coarse tools, such as axes, it is recommended to work against the direction of grinding. If you want to grind more precisely, we recommend to work with the direction of grinding. This applies, for example, to carving tools and knives. Please note that the grinding process is slowed down if you work with the direction of rotation.
Please check before each operation whether the surface of the grinding stone is even. To do so, lower the universal support onto the stone and turn it manually by 360°. If required, trim uneven material using the 250 trimming device.
Upon the time of delivery, the TiGer provides of even surfaces.
Water Reservoir (Fig. 3, Fig. 4)
Fill the water reservoir with water up to the marking. The grinding stone becomes saturated with water. Refill water, if required. Do not grind without water.
Once the grinding process is completed, lower the water reservoir to prevent the grinding stone from being in the water for an extended period of time.
Empty the water reservoir regularly. Otherwise, particles of steel and trimmed stone will accumulate and compress in the reservoir.
Expert tip: Such precipitations can be avoided if you place a magnet into the water.

Angle Measurer (Fig. 5)
Measure the angle of the grinding bezel by comparing the cutting edge to the notches. Then, you set the determined angle at the device by changing the height of the universal support. To do so, perform the following steps: First, clamp the tool into the device and insert the device on the universal support.
Then, hold the angle measure with the desired angle at the tooltip. Now, adjust the height of the universal support in such a manner that the front end of the angle measurer straight borders the grinding stone. Please make sure that the angle measure is always in alignment with the tooltip.
Note: The values indicated on the angle measurer are only standard values. Of course, you can change these values according to your requirements.

Grinding (Fig. 6)

Expert tip: New tools still show traces of the production process. You can substantially increase the lifetime of your tools if you grind them on both sides of the cutting edge before the first application. You simply grind the back side in the free-handed mode on the vertical of the grinding stone, and the front side is as follows.
After you have set the angle, insert the tool mounted in the device on the universal support, turn on the motor, and start the grinding process. Press the tool evenly onto the grinding stone near the cutting edge, and move it crosswise across the stone. Please make sure that at least half the width of the cutting edge comes into contact with the grinding stone at any time to avoid damage to the stone.

To achieve finer grinding results, prepare the stone using the Stone preparer. Thereby you increase the graining from 250 to approximately 1000. The SP is available as an accessory from your scheppach dealer.

Sharpening (Fig. 7)
Never sharpen against the direction of grinding! Otherwise, the tool will cut into the leather!
Impregnate the leather disc using weak machine oil. Then apply an abrasive paste on the leather disc. Turn on the device, and distribute the abrasive paste by pressing the ground tool with circular movements on the wheel. These preparations are sufficient for five to ten tools. Then, you start again with a new layer of machine oil, followed by new abrasive paste. These measures increase the lifetime of the leather and the quality of your tools.
Expert tip: You can work in the free-handed mode for the trimming itself. You achieve a more precise result if you keep the tool in the device in the position in which you ground the tool.
