●
When connecting or disconnecting the grinder it is essential to ensure that the operating lever is
not and cannot be operated.
●
Disconnect the machine from the power supply when changing the tool.
●
Never remove any safety devices mounted on the machine and ensure that they are attached
and working properly before you switch the machine on.
●
Guards or covers are to be adjusted such that they direct sparks and grinding particles away
from the body.
●
Strong vibration can be caused by machine tools that are not attached properly or are damaged.
●
Do not use abrasive cutting-off wheels (on machines with a collet chuck).
●
Never exceed the maximum permissible working speed. It must be checked regularly.
●
Before starting up the machine, check that the abrasive wheel has been attached correctly and
done up tightly. Carry out a test run for 30 seconds when the machine is in a safe position and
not under load. Hold the machine in such a way that the broken pieces could not hit you in the
event of a breakage. The machine must be switched off at once if there is considerable vibration
or if damage is noticed, and after that the cause for these defects must be found.
●
When working with certain materials it is possible for dust and vapours to be produced that could
create a potentially explosive atmosphere.
●
The work pieces must be fixed adequately before starting work.
●
Never use the machine in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gases.
●
Use suitable facilities at the workplace to keep the air clean if hazardous or explosive dusts,
vapours or aerosols are produced.
●
The machine tool can still run on after it has been switched off. Put the grinder down in a safe
place and wait for it to stop without applying any pressure to the surface.
●
As a matter of principle, use eye protection (EN 166 level B) and ear protection (EN
352). Wear gloves (EN 388 category 2) and protective clothing.
●
Depending on the materials being worked with, personal protective equipment and dust
extraction must be provided.
●
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. They could be caught up by moving parts. Wear a
hair net if you have long hair.
●
Pay attention to the markings, restrictions on use and special notes on use on the abrasive
wheel and the grinder.
●
Use a suitable abrasive wheel. An unsuitable product can create excessive amounts of grinding
particles, dust, vibration and noise.
●
Only use abrasive wheels that meet the highest safety standards. These products carry the
relevant number of the EN standard and/or the "oSa" marking.
●
Do not exceed the maximum pressure. Use a pressure regulator so the pressure is controlled
before it reaches the machine.
