Make sure the voltage corresponds to the type label on the unit.
Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities or lack of know-
how and/or lack of knowledge are not allowed to use the unit, unless they
are supervised for their safety by a qualified person or are briefed by the
responsible person how to use the unit.
Wear personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles
to prevent your eyed when using the double grinder.
Do not use damaged grinding wheels. Check the wheels for cracks and
other damage before each use.
Grinding wheels, flanges, discs and other accessories must precisely fit
the shaft of the grinder. Tools which do not precisely fit the shaft vibrate
and may cause loss of control.
The permitted speed of the tool must be at least equal to the maximum no
load speed of the power tool. Accessories which rotate faster than permit-
ted may be destroyed.
Diameter and thickness of the grinding wheels must conform to the
requirements of your power tool. Wheels of the wrong size can not be
shielded or controlled.
Use only grinding wheels which conform to the technical data in this
manual and on the wheels.
Use only water for wet grinding; do not use petroleum or any other liquids.
Regularly confirm whether the visor and the work piece support are not
further than 2 mm away from the grinding wheel. If necessary, readjust the
visor and the work piece support.
The grinding wheels will rotate for some time after the engine has been
turned off. Never try to stop the wheels by hand.
Wear suitable clothing when using the grinder. Synthetic materials may be
damaged by flying sparks. Tight clothing will not get caught in moving
parts easily.
It is advisable to bolt the grinder to a work bench. On the base plate of the
grinder there are two slots, with which the grinder can be mounted.
