SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by autho-
rized and properly trained personnel.
• If the material being ground creates an emission of dust and fumes, use personal protective devices.
• Never cock, jam or wedge the grinding wheel during operation.
• Never cause sparks in the vicinity of flamable materials.
• Eye injury, and cutting or severing of body parts is possible if proper procedures are not followed.
GRINDING WHEEL SAFETY
• Ensure that the grinding wheel is correctly mounted and tightened before use.
• Operate the grinder at "no load" for 30 seconds in a safe position and ensure there is no vibration or other defects detected.
If considerable vibration or other defects are detected, stop operation of the tool immediately and determine the cause. Do
not use the tool until the defect is corrected.
• If the grinder is dropped with an abrasive wheel installed, the abrasive wheel swhould be examined thoroughly before use.
• Only use abrasive wheels that comply with ANSI B7.1/ISO 525, 603.
• Check that the maximum rpm operating speed of the abrasive wheel is equal to or greater than the rated shaft speed of the
grinder.
• Ensure that the grinding wheel dimensions are compatible with the grinder and that the grinding wheel fits the shaft.
• Ensure that the thread type and size of the grinding wheel exactly matches the thread type and size of the shaft.
