■
Use only lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
■
Suitable safety goggles must be worn; wearing
of protective gloves and safety clothing is
recommended.
■
Check the grinding disc before every use. Do
not use if this is cracked, broken or has been
dropped.
■
Avoid direct contact with the movable
grinding disc to avoid squashing or cutting
your hands or other parts of the body.
Always wear suitable gloves to protect
your hands.
■
Never use the machine without an abrasive
attachment.
■
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the
machine is used on plastic and other non-con-
ductive materials.
■
Dust and vapours created by the grinding and
sanding can cause a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Always use a dust extraction or
suppression system suitable for the material
being worked.
Risks due to repetitive movements
■
When using a sander or polisher to perform
work-related activities, operators may experi-
ence uncomfortable sensations in their hands
and arms, as well as in the neck and shoulders
or other parts of the body.
■
When using a sander or polisher, the opera-
tor should adopt a comfortable posture whilst
ensuring a secure hold and avoiding awkward
postures or positions in which it is difficult to
maintain balance. The operator should change
positions during the course of long-lasting tasks.
This can be helpful in the prevention of discom-
fort and fatigue.
■
If the operator notices symptoms such as persist-
ent or recurring illness, discomfort, throbbing,
pain, tingling, burning or stiffness, these indications
should not be ignored. In this case, the operator
should consult a suitably qualified physician.
Hazards caused by accessories
■
Disconnect the sander or polisher from the
power before changing the tools or accessories.
■
Use only accessories and supplies of the sizes
and types recommended by the manufacturer
of the sander or polisher.
■
Cutting discs and machines for cutting may not
be used.
■
Avoid direct contact with the machine tool during
and after use, since this can have heated up or
have become sharp.
■
The maximum operating speed recommended
by the sander manufacturer must be equal to
the rated speed given on the machine or higher.
■
Self-adhesive grinding discs must be applied
concentrically on the mounting plate.
Hazards in the workplace
■
Keep your working area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
■
Slipping, tripping up and falling are the main
causes of injuries at the workplace.
Take note
of surfaces which could have become slippery
through use of the machine, and also any trip-
ping hazards caused by air or hydraulic hoses.
■
Proceed with caution in unknown surroundings.
Hidden hazards caused by power or other supply
lines may be present.
■
Do not work with the compressed air tool in
areas subject to the risk of explosions, or in
areas where flammable liquids, gases or dusts
are located.
Grinding work creates sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
■
Keep children and other unauthorised person-
nel at a safe distance when using compressed
air tools.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control over the appliance.
■
The grinder is not insulated against electrical
power sources.
■
Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas
pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged
by use of the tool.
