WARNING!
Severe injuries due to non-intended use.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alterations to the operation values of the
grinding machine. They could endanger the personnel and cause damage to the grinding
machine.
ATTENTION!
If the grinding machine is not used as intended or if the safety directives or the operating
instructions are ignored, the liability of the manufacturer for any damages to persons or
objects resulting hereof is excluded and any claims under guarantee are rendered null
and void!
1.3

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described
use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
Operators must be qualified.

1.3.1 Avoiding misuse


The distance from the supporting surface to the grinding wheel may not be less than 2 mm.
However, the distance may be greater if the grinding process and the material used require
this for security reasons.
We expressly point out that if any constructive, technical or procedural changes are not per-
formed by the company Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH, the guarantee or CE conformity
will be rendered null and void.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by flying workpieces
Ensure the gap between the grinding wheel and bearing surface is as small as possible and
readjust the support surface immediately if the distance is too big.
If the support surface can no longer be adjusted, the grinding wheel must be replaced.
1.4

Possible dangers caused by the grinding machine

The grinding machine is state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the grinding
machine operates
at high speeds,

with rotating parts,

with grinding wheels (emission of sparks),

with electrical voltage and currents.

We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimize the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the grinding machine is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, there
may be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the grinding machine.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,

and strictly follow these operating instructions.
