4.

With a feeler gauge (if unavailable normal printer paper that has

been folded once can also be used), set the gap to 0.1 mm using

the rotary handle.

This is set through a viewing gap above the grinding

chamber (2). The feeler gauge can be inserted

through the opening to set or check the gap width.

The feeler gauge must only be lightly clamped and it

must be possible to pull it out again by hand without

any problems.

Turn the stop screws all the way round and secure the lock nut

again. Reposition the cover cap.

6.2 Setting the gap width

Setting the gap width between the two grinding disks is carried out by

simply adjusting the rotary handle attached below the drive motor with

scaling (1 graduation mark - 0.02 mm).

Make sure that the gap width is always turned from a

bigger to a smaller distance with the rotary handle. If the

gap width is increased during grinding, this can lead to an

imprecise grinding result because of the play in the thread.

You should pre‐crush material that is difficult to grind in a

first pass with a larger gap width, before achieving the

desired fineness with a smaller gap in a second pass.
Proceed in the same way if no information about the grind‐

ability of your material is available. In this case, it is neces‐

sary to carry out preliminary tests with small sample quanti‐

ties.
