Safety devices
Use the grinder only with properly functioning safety devices.
Stop the grinder immediately if there is a failure in the safety device and when the grinder is not
being used.
It is your responsibility!
If a safety device has been activated, the grinder must only be used when
•
the cause of the failure has been removed,
•
it has been verified that there is no resulting danger for personnel or objects.
WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or override a safety device in any other way, you are endangering
yourself and other personnel working with the grinder. The possible consequences are
•
very serious injury resulting from a blow-out of the grinding wheels,
•
injuries to the eyes resulting from emission of sparks,
•
hand injuries,
•
fatal electrocution.
The bench grinder includes the following safety devices:
•
A transparent spark-guard for each grinding wheel
•
An adjustable protective guard with a shaft cover on each grinding wheel.
1.6.1
Transparent spark-guard
The transparent spark-guard in each grind-
ing wheel reduces emissions of sparks
towards the eyes during machining.
It is essential to use protective goggles!

1.6.2
Protective covers on grinding wheels
The protective covers on the grinding wheels and the ends of the drive shaft prevent accidental
contact.
The operating aperture in the grinder is sized to intercept and retain any fragments from the
grinding wheels.
WARNING!
Adjust the protective cover when the
grinding wheel is worn down.
The operating aperture in the protective
cover should not exceed the space
required for machining the parts.
Try to use a well-fitting work suit.
