Special safety instructions

- Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to the maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on the grinding disc.

• Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the machine.

- Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.

• Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier's instructions.

- Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.

- Do not use grinding discs for deburring.

- When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.

- Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are crack-ed, ripped or otherwise damaged.

- Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds. Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the machine on again.

• Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable substances.

- Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away from the surface to be cut.

• Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.

- Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

- Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product and when they are required.

• If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.

- For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

- Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become nessesary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.

- Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the mains-impedance Zmax <0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.

Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Your machine is double insulated in accordance with EN50144; therefore no earthwire is required.
