Safety Notes - Westfalia MD3215C Instruction Manual

Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following
safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or physical injury:
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 eyes when using the double grinder.
Do not use damaged grinding stones. Check the stones for cracks and
other damage before each use.
Grinding stones, flanges, discs and other accessories must fit precisely
into the shaft of the grinder. Tools which do not fit precisely the shaft
vibrate and may cause loss of control. The permitted speed of the tool
must be at least equal to the overspeed of the power tool. Accessories
which rotate faster than permitted may be destroyed.
Diameter and thickness of the grinding stones must conform to the
requirements of your power tool. Stones of wrong size cannot be shielded
or controlled.
Use only grinding stones which conform to the technical data in this
manual and on the stones.
Regularly confirm whether the work piece support (7) is not further than
2 mm away from the grinding stone.
The grinding stones will rotate for some time after the motor has been
turned off. Never try to stop the stones 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.
For save operation and if possible, it is advisable to bolt the grinder to a
work bench. In the base of the grinder there are four mounting holes, with
which the grinder can be mounted.
Keep other people out of the immediate working area. All persons in the
working area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the
work piece or the grinding stone may fly off and cause injuries or dam-
ages.
Keep the power cable away from rotating parts.
Do not use this tool close to combustible materials. These materials may
be ignited by flying sparks.
