2 Description of the device:

A stable chassis made of pressed and
continuous cast aluminium parts forms a
solid mechanical base for seating the drive
components and the ball-bearings for the
precisely-mounted main shaft.
The drive is implemented by a heavy-duty,
extremely smooth-running and high-torque
permanent magnet motor which transfers
its force through a smooth-running belt drive
onto the main shaft. A slight transmission
reduction guarantees a forceful torque for the
various working tasks and super-smooth, quiet
running. The fi nally-tuned speed regulation
allows setting of the optimum working speed
between 1000 and 3100 rpm.
Furthermore, the structural design of the belt
drive allows the motor to be located so that
the housing in the area around the main shaft
can be kept extremely narrow. This guarantees
the highest possible fl exibility even when
working with differently shaped, i.e. very long
workpieces.
The controls are sensibly and ergonomically
located: easy to operate but not within the
workspace, and also protected from soiling.
The right-hand polishing arbor can be screwed
off so that a range of different accessories can
be used.
An extensive range of polishing agents rounds
off the facilities offered by your PM 100
polishing machine: no working task remains
unfi nished, no material unworked. We do hope
you have considerable enjoyment with the
device regardless of whether you are using
it for post-painting work, fi nal fi nishing to
bright metal surfaces, cleaning, de-rusting or
producing the "fi nishing touch" on material
also including plastic, wood or stone.

5 Commissioning:
5.1 Setting up your polishing machine:
Always ensure your own safety!
There is always a certain hazard potential with
electric tools. We have, of course, minimised
this as far as possible in the construction.
Despite this, you should always ensure
that the mains plug is disconnected when
checking the device, during cleaning or when
changing polishing tools and observe the safety
information!
Note:
When setting up the machine, make sure that
the ground below it is level and secure! A
secure stand is indispensable for working with
the machine!
Note:
When setting up and fi xing the machine, always
disconnect the mains plug to prevent the main
shaft being started up accidentally. Risk of
injury!
Please note:
We unconditionally recommend that the
polishing machine is fi rmly fi xed to a solid base
in order to operate it. There are two methods
of doing this:
5.1.1 Bolting (Fig. 2):
In the device foot there are 4 recesses Pos. 1
provided for accepting M4 bolts.
We recommend that the holes are drilled and
provided with a thread if possible. Then, as
shown in Fig. 2, screw two bolts Pos. 2 into the
right-hand holes, push the polishing machine
with the recesses provided up to these, then
screw in the two left-hand bolts and then
tighten all four.
