Additional Safety Precautions : For Angle Grinders
Eye Protection manufactured to the current European Safety Standard should be
worn when operating grinding equipment.
Ear Protection manufactured to the current European Safety Standard should be
worn when operating grinding equipment.
A Dust Mask manufactured to the current European Safety Standard should be worn
when operating grinding equipment.
WARNING ! Ensure all accessories used are rated a the spindle speed, or higher.
WARNING ! Never press the spindle lock while the disc is rotating.
Always wear a good pair of industrial
gloves to avoid potential injury from sparks
and debris.
Always keep the mains cable well away
from the tool. Ensure an adequate electrical
supply is close at hand so that the operation
is not restricted by the length of the cable.
Always switch the tool OFF immediately
when the task is completed.
Always ensure the grinding wheel or
cutting disc is fully tightened before use.
Always ensure the wheel / disc is not
touching the work when switching ON.
Always allow the Grinder to run briefly
before using. Check for vibration which could
indicate poor balance or installation of the
wheel/disc.
Always
hold the tool firmly in BOTH
hands (as shown in figure (1)).
(1)
Never use excessive force. It should only
be necessary to use a little more than the
weight of the tool. If the rotational speed
drops
abnormally,
immediately. Forcing the tool and excessive
pressurecan cause dangerous disc breakage
and/or damage to the tool.
Never allow the ventilation slots in the
tool to become blocked.
Never use the tool with the guard
removed. If the guard becomes damaged,
it should be replaced
Never use the tool in a confined space
which may limit body movement.
Use only wheels/discs designed for their
specific function.(see page 10)
Beware of flying sparks. Hold the grinder at
an angle of 15 - 30
surface(as shown in figure (2)).
