4.1 General Information
The following section describes how to change tools and how to operate the grinding
machine. This section does not deal with the technical aspects of grinding, such as
selection of grinding tools, etc. For choice of tools, see HTC's Product Catalogue under
the Grinding Guide tab.
Warning!
The machine may only be used or repaired by personnel who have received the
requisite theoretical and practical training and who have read the user manual.
Warning!
Never use the machine in an environment with a risk of explosion or fire.
Familiarise yourself with the fire-protection instructions for the working area
and follow them.
Warning!
Secure the area around the working area. No unauthorised persons should be
allowed within a 15-metre radius of the machine. If a loose object were to catch
under the grinding head, this could be flung out and cause personal injury.
Warning!
Use protective equipment such as safety shoes, safety goggles, protective
gloves, breathing mask and ear muffs.
Warning!
The machine must only be started with the grinding head down. The rotating
disc must be touching the floor and the correct tool must be fitted.
Warning!
The machine must only be used and moved on level surfaces. There is a risk of
crushing if the machine starts to roll.
Warning!
The lifting handles on the motor are intended for lifting the grinding head,
when it is separated from the chassis, and then only for short, low lifts, e.g. into
the boot of a car. The lifting handles are not to be used for lifting the complete
machine.
