Adjusting the Scraper to the Mortar

When the machine is delivered or when a scraper is

re-ordered, it may be necessary to regrind scraper A.

This depends on the shape of the mortar M or the

wear on it.
Fig.7.1

Regrinding is necessary in the following cases:
• when the machine is supplied without a mortar or

grinding set
• when a scraper or mortar is reordered

The scraper was chamfered slightly in the factory in

order to make regrinding easier. The grinding angle

should be 45° and depend on the shape of the

mortar.

Fig.7.1 und Fig.7.2

You can use a belt sander, a grindstone or sandpaper

to do the grinding.

The scraper can become sharp-edged as a result of

sanding and wear during grinding operations. During

cleaning in particular there is a risk of injury.
