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 cracked, 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

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

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

Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1,5 mm². When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

4. USE

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Special attention when starting the machine

Clamp the workpiece and make sure that the • workpiece cannot slide from under the machine during the cutting activities.

• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
• Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine.
• Insert the mains plug only when the machine is switched off.
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on

Never use the machine for grinding magnesium workpieces.

Switching on and off

- Slide the on/off switch forwards.

To switch off, depress the on/off switch, this will then jump to the 'off' position.

Do not put the machine down when the motor is still running. Do not place the machine on a dusty surface. Dust particles may enter the mechanism.

Operation

• Hold the machine firmly and move it against the workpiece. Move the grinding disc evenly across the workpiece.
• Move the machine during roughing under an angle of 30^ - 40^ across the workpiece (Fig. 6).

Never use grinding discs for roughing!

The machine must always work opposite to the direction of rotation. Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut (Fig. 7).

Inspect the grinding disc regularly. Worn discs have a negative effect on efficiency of the machine. Replace the grinding disc on time.
