Working With The Tool - Atlas Copco LSF39 S180E Safety Information Manual

LSF39 S180E
• Do not use mounting wheels that are chipped or cracked,
or may have been dropped.
• Correct mounting is necessary to prevent injury from
broken mounted wheels
• Make sure that the shaft diameter of the accessory is cor-
rect for the size of the collet.
• Do not mix mm shanks with inch collets and vice versa.
• Observe a minimum of 10 mm (0.4") axial grip of the
shank.
• When attaching mounted wheels or burrs, reduce the
overhang by pushing the shank all the way into the col-
let. Also do a check of the recommendations given by
the tool manufacturer.
• Observe that increased overhang of shank reduces per-
missible speed.
• Before starting the machine, make sure that the collet is
tightened correctly.
• Do a test run of every newly attached wheel in a safe po-
sition for 30 seconds. Use a barrier (such as under a
heavy work table) to stop any possible broken wheel
parts. Stop immediately if the vibration is too high.

Working with the tool

Before starting work
1.
Free speed check
• The speed, measured at a pressure of 6.3 bars, must
not be higher than the rated speed marked on the die
grinder.
• Remove the grinding equipment before doing the
free speed check.
• Do free speed checks daily and especially after a
long period of no use.
• Make sure that the speed marking on the tool is
readable.
• Return the tool for repair when it is overspeeding.
2.
Maximum speed check
• Make sure that the stated maximum speed of the
burr or drum is higher than or equal to the speed
marked on the die grinder.
3.
Grinding equipment check
• Always disconnect the air supply when changing the
grinding equipment or adjusting the tool.

• Make sure the grinding equipment is not cracked or
damage in any way.
• Make sure that the grinding equipment or drum has
the correct dimensions and is attached correctly to
prevent unbalanced vibrations.
• Remove and replace damaged grinding equipment
immediately.
4.
Personal protection equipment
Make sure the operators use:
• Eye protection, goggles or a visor.
• Ear protection
• Gloves
• Steel toe-capped shoes
• Protective clothing, such as a leather apron.
• A helmet (for heavier applications)
• Do not use loosely hanging clothing, hair or jew-
ellery (risk of getting caught).
5.
Working area
Make sure that the working area is kept free from other
people so that no one can get injured.
• People nearby must wear hearing and eye protection.
• Make sure that the ventilation and dust extraction
from the premises are sufficient.
• Make sure that it is a stand or a place available to
put the tool safely.
• Work within a sealed-off area, with protective walls
if necessary. There is a risk that broken discs fly off.
During work
Stop using the die grinder if abnormally loud noises and vi-
brations occur during use.
The die grinder and its accessories must not be modified in
any way.
After the work is finished
Make sure that the tool is turned off and has come to a com-
plete stop before it is put down.
Put down the tool carefully, so that there is no risk that the
tool can start by itself.
Maintenance and service instructions
The service must only be done by authorized workshops
or qualified service technicians.
