1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect the grinder from the mains power, and ensure the grinding wheels are at a standstill before attempting to
‰
change accessories, service or perform any maintenance.
DO NOT use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks.
8
DO NOT operate the grinder if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
8
▲ DANGER! DO NOT use a damaged wheel as it is dangerous and may cause damage and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING! Only persons qualified under the "Abrasive Wheels Regulations" and holding a current grinding wheel certificate are to change or
‰
dress grinding wheels. Unplug grinder from mains power and refer to Section "Grinding Wheels" below for details.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run
9
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the grinder. Accessories running faster
9
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel. Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break and fly apart.
9
Only use accessories with a diameter and maximum thickness specified in the Specification section of this manual.
9
Bench grinders must always be stable and secure e.g. fixed to a bench or the like.
9
Grinding wheels must be correctly mounted and free of defects before use (ring tested).
9
Spark arrestors and work rests must be adjusted frequently so as to compensate for the wear of the wheel.
9
WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.
‰
A guard or any other part that is damaged should be repaired or replaced before tool is next used. The eye shields are a mandatory
fitting when grinder is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
Distance between the spark arrestor/work rest and the wheel must be kept as small as possible and in any case no greater than 2mm.
9
Worn wheels must be replaced when the 2mm gap above can no longer be maintained.
9
For tools with two spindles: always use the tool with accessories on both spindles in order to limit the risk of contact with the rotating
9
spindle.
Always use the guard, work rest, transparent screen and spark arrestor as required for the accessory(ies).
9
Damaged or deeply grooved wheels must be replaced.
9
Always adjust the work rest so that the angle between the work rest and the tangent of the accessory is always greater than 85°.
9
Grinding wheels must always be handled and stored in the correct manner.
9
Maintain the grinder in good condition and check moving parts alignment regularly.
9
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Locate grinder in a suitable working area, keep area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure adequate lighting.
9
Before each use check grinding wheels for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
