   There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
   c) Keep your electric tools away from rain and moisture.
   Water penetrating an electric device increases the risk of an electric shock.
   d) Do not use the connection cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the electric tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the connection cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
   Damaged or coiled connection cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
   e) If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only use extension leads that are also suitable for outdoor use.
   Using an extension lead suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
   f) If you cannot avoid using the electric tool in a wet environment, use a residual current circuit breaker.
   Using a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3. Safety of personnel
   a) Remain attentive, pay attention to what you are doing and be sensible when working with electric tools. Do not use an electric tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
   A moment of carelessness when using electric tools can result in serious injuries.
   b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety goggles.
   Wearing personal protective equipment, such as dust masks, antislip safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection, depending on the type and use of the electric tool, reduces the risk of injuries.

   d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not let people use the electric tool who are not familiar with it or who have not read these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
   e) Maintain electric tools and accessories with care. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before using the electric tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric tools.
   f) Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges seize up less often and are easier to guide.
   g) Use electric tools, accessories and tool attachment, etc. according to these instructions. Take the working conditions and the activity to be carried out into consideration. Using electric tools for applications other than the intended uses can lead to dangerous situations.
   h) Keep the handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe operation and control of the electrical tool in unforeseen situations.

5. Service
   a). Only have your electric tool repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained.

ATTENTION! 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 machine.

Safety instructions for grinding machines

• Do not use damaged accessories. Check the accessories, e.g. the grinding disc for cracks before each use. After inspection and installation of an accessory, remove yourself and bystanders from the machine and allow the electric tool to run at maximum idle speed for one minute. Damaged accessories normally break during this test period.
• The nominal speed of the accessories must be at least equal to the maximum speed indicated on the electric tool. Accessories that run faster than the nominal speed may break.
• Never grind on the sides of a grinding disc. Lateral grinding can cause the grindstone to break.

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 of fingers and hands.
• Danger caused by electric current if inappropriate electrical connecting lines are used.
• Furthermore, non obvious 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 stone and the tool table and hang the water tank as in Figure 1 on the machine.

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

Working instructions

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.

Speed controller (Fig. 5)

The speed of the grindstone and of the leather disc can be controlled steplessly using the speed controller. The speed depends on the required result. For grinding, a speed in the lower range is more suitable. For stripping with the leather disc, a higher speed is more suitable.

At high speeds, there is a risk of splashing.
Lower the water container when working with the leather disc at high speeds. In order to maintain an even grinding speed with a decreasing grindstone diameter, the speed can be adjusted steplessly with the speed controller.

Angle measurer (Fig. 6)

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 measurer with the desired angle at the tool tip. Now, adjust the height of the universal support in such a manner that the front end of the angle measurer straightly borders the grinding stone. Please make sure that the angle measurer is always in alignment with the tool tip.
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. 7)

Since the grindstone rotates only slowly, a movement can be seen in the lateral direction. This is normal and does not exert any negative influence on the grinding result.
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 freehanded mode on the vertical of the grinding stone, and the front side 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 damages of 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.
The height of the Universal Support can be set exactly with the knurled nut attached to the Universal Support.

Sharpening (Fig. 8)

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 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. With the star grip screw on the rear side of the machine housing (see Figure 2), you can set the contact pressure on the friction wheel. This is necessary if when trying the honing wheel stops.

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.

Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:

• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im- properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet. · Cracks due to the insulation ageing.

Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life- threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking ,,H05VV-F”.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.
