SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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. Keep these instruc-
tions in a safe place!
- Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grin-
ding 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 cor-
respond 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 pro-
tected 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 abnor-
mal vibrations or occurrence of another defect. Care-
fully inspect the machine and grinding disc before swit-
ching 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 wit-
hout 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 nes-
sesary 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 equip-
ment. 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.
