Safety advice relating specifically to bench
grinders
• Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes dam-
aged or cut through while you are using the device.
Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately
and have the device repaired by a suitably quali-
fied person or at your service centre.
• Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not
use it in a damp environment.
• If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an ex-
tension lead, always use one that is approved for
outdoor use.
• If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug
immediately out of the mains socket.
• Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.
• Danger of fire from flying sparks ! Grinding metal
creates flying sparks. For this reason, always make
sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that
there are no inflammable materials near the work-
ing area.
• Warning! Noxious fumes! Working with harmful /
noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the
person operating the device and to anyone near
the work area.
• Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, dust
protection mask and protective gloves.
• Danger of burns! The workpiece gets hot during
grinding. Never touch the part you are grinding.
Allow the workpiece to cool sufficiently first. When
grinding for longer periods, stop grinding from time
to time and allow the workpiece to cool before con-
tinuing. Do not operate the device for continuous
periods exceeding 10 minutes.
• The double grinding machine is intended for dry
grinding of the surfaces of metal objects. The de-
vice may only be used for dry grinding.
• Do not grind materials containing asbestos. As-
bestos is a known carcinogen.
