Safety Information

A grinding machine is a power tool developing
high rpm's during operation.
As with all power tools there is a certain amount of hazard
involved with the operator and his use of the machine.
Using the machine with the respect and caution de-
manded as far as safety precautions are concerned will
considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
If, however, normal safety precautions are overlooked
or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator
can develop.
In the interest of work safety we strongly recommend
you observe the following information:
- Never work without safety goggles.
- Ensure that machine can not be started by children.
- Regularly check all bolted connections being tight.
- Prior to commissioning tool rests and spark protection
assemblies have to be installed.
- To ensure safe operation the grinder should be bolted
to a workbench, wall bracket or pedestal stand.
- Do not operate machine without wheel covers in
place.
- The adjusting guard plate must be frequently set to
compensate any wear of the grinding wheel. The
distance between the adjusting guard plate and the
grinding wheel must be kept as small as possible and
never greater than 2 mm.
- The work piece support must be set gradually to com-
pensate any wear of the grinding wheel. The distance
between the adjusting guard plate and the grinding
wheel must be kept as small as possible and never
greater than 2 mm.
- Ensure that switch is in the OFF position before plug-
ging in.
- Use only faultless grinding wheels.
- Never put your fi nger between tool rest and grinding
wheel or between grinding wheel and wheel cover (risk
of injury by squashing).
- This appliance should be operated on a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) of 30 mA capacity.
- Check power cable and plug prior to every use.
- Have a damaged power cable replaced by a qualifi ed
electrician without delay. Risk of electric shock if oper-
ated with a damaged power cable!
- Wear suitable apparel with snug fi tting sleeves.
- Store grinding wheels in a dry place at a steady tem-
perature if possible.
- Never use damaged or malformed grinding wheels.
- Mount grinding wheels only with the fl anges supplied
with the machine. The liners between fl ange and
wheel must be of elastic material such as rubber, soft
cardboard etc.
- Do not attempt to enlarge the arbor bore of a grinding
wheel.
- Always pull out the plug before changing the grinding
wheel, setting or repairing the double grinding ma-
chine.
- Ensure safe footing when operating the bench grinder.
- Always disconnect from power by pulling the plug
- when the grinder is not used
- when servicing or
- when changing grinding wheels.
- Do not expose this appliance to rain and do not use it
in damp or wet locations.
- Observe the maximum output/capacity of the grinding
machine (see nameplate); do not subject it to over-
loads.
- From time to time re-measure the thickness of the
metal of the work piece support. The support must be
replaced if it is so worn that its thickness measures
only 1.8 mm at any one point.
