Grounding instructions
WARNING! Improper connection can
!
result in the risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified electrician if in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the
outlet have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure local
regulations and ordinances are followed.
If the grounding instructions are not fully
understood contact a qualified
electrician.
• The machine is equipped with a grounded cord and
plug and should always be connected to a grounded
outlet. This reduces the risk of electric shock in the
event of malfunction.
• The use of adaptors is not allowed with the machine.
Extension cords and cables
• The marking on the extension cable must be the same
or higher than the value stated on the machine's rating
plate.
• Use grounded extension cables.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• Keep the connection to the extension cord dry and off
the ground.
• Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cable increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Check that the cables are intact and in good condition.
Never use the machine if any cable or plug is
damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord
while it is rolled up.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use
the machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
Work safety
NOTICE! Never leave the machine unattended while
grinding.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Make sure that there is always another person close
at hand when you use the machines, so that you can
call for help if an accident should occur.
• Only authorized and trained operators are permitted
to operate the machine and its tools.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that
all fixtures are properly tightened.
OPERATING
• The machine may only be started with the grinding
discs resting on the surface unless performing the test
procedure described in these instructions.
• The machine must not be started without the dust skirt
fitted to protect from dust. It is essential from a safety
point of view that the seal between the machine and
the floor is in good order, above all when dry grinding.
• Do not stand on the CAN cable or the power cable as
there is a risk of your feet becoming tangled.
• Do not use remote control with cable steering while
working or moving where there is a risk that the
machine can topple. The operator must be
disengaged from the machine.
• Never stand where there is a risk of being crushed.
The machine can rapidly change position.
• If the machine becomes unoperable, turn off the
motor before approaching the machine.
• Firm handling of the joysticks does not make the
machine stronger or faster. On the contrary, the
joysticks can buckle with unnecessary repairs as a
consequence.
• Do not lift the remote control by the joysticks.
