adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary.
Do not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is remote from
the on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to be
drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and
observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily
operable on/off valve is incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or
blows on another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has
stopped moving.
19) A grinding wheel should only be fitted by a competent person
trained to do so. The wheel must be of the correct size and speed
rating.
20) Check the speed of the grinder at least once per week, if it is in
regular use, with an accurate tachometer.
21) The tool must only be used with the grinding wheels as set out in
section “Foreseen Use of the Tool” and shown on parts list. Never fit
any other device.
22) Carry out the instructions as set out in “Putting into Service”.
23) Many countries have local or national rules re the use and fitting
of grinding wheels. Make sure such rules are observed.
24) Use a barrier to prevent sparks causing a hazard to the operator,
any other person or anything within the vicinity of the sparks.
25) If a wheel guard becomes damaged or has withstood a wheel
breakage, the guard must be changed.
26) Do not use chipped or cracked grinding wheels.
27) Always wear impact resistant eye protection.
28) Use only the disc plates, Items (4) and (5) provided with the
grinder for locating and clamping the wheel. Never use substitutes.
Use the paper blotter fixed to the wheel as this ensures even tightness
when the wheel is secured.
29) Tighten the wheel plates sufficiently to prevent wheel spin off
when the grinder is turned off. Do not tighten excessively as this may
crack the wheel.
30) The noise from the tool or the process noise of the grinding
operation may be such that hearing protection should be worn.
31) Avoid inhaling dust from the grinding process. Wearing of a
breathing mask is recommended. Grinder certain materials may
mean that special breathing precautions are necessary. Seek advice
before using the tool.
32) Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly supported so that it
cannot move during the grinding process.
33) If the grinder is dropped do not use unless the wheel is first
checked for damage by a competent person.
