or near flammable liquids or gases.
•
Protect the mains cable from becoming dama-
ged by oil, solvents and sharp edges.
•
Keep your work area tidy.
•
Make sure that the switch is turned off when
connecting the tool to the power supply.
•
Wear suitable work clothes. Never wear loo-
se fitting clothes and jewelry. Wear a hair net
if you have long hair.
•
For your own safety, use only accessories and
auxiliary equipment from the manufacturer of
your electric tool.
•
Always wear safety goggles, protective
gloves and ear-muffs while carrying out grin-
ding, brushing and cutting jobs.
•
Check that the rotating speed shown on the
wheel is equal to or higher than the rated
speed of rotation for the grinder.
•
Make sure that the grinding wheel is of the
correct size for the grinder.
•
Grinding wheels must be handled and
stored with care in accordance with the
manufacturer‘s instructions. Examine the grin-
ding wheel each time before using it. Never
use grinding wheels which have parts broken
off or are cracked or in any other way da-
maged.
•
Be sure to use only grinding wheels and bru-
shes which are marked with a speed at least
as high as the speed indicated on the rating
plate of the electric tool.
•
Check that grinding wheels are fitted in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
•
Make sure that intermediate layers are used
if they are supplied with and required for the
grinding wheel.
•
Make sure that the grinding disk is correctly
fitted and secured before you start to use the
tool. Allow the machine to run without load
and in a safe position for 5 minutes. Stop the
machine immediately if severe vibrations arise
or any other defects are noticed. If this should
be the case, examine the machine to find the
cause.
•
The electric tool must never be used without
the guard hood supplied with it.
•
Never use separate reducer sleeves or adap-
ters to make grinding wheels with larger holes
fit on the machine.
•
Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks
do not cause any danger, e.g. that they do
not hit anyone or cause inflammable substan-
ces to ignite.
•
Always wear safety goggles and ear-muffs;
use other personal safety equipment such as
gloves, an apron and a helmet if necessary.
•
The workpiece becomes hot during grinding.
Important! Risk of burns!
Let the workpiece cool down. The material may
become glowing hot during the grinding. On
longer jobs, allow the workpiece to cool down
occasionally.
•
Do not use coolant or the like.
Special safety information
1. Before you use the grinder, carry out a ring
test on the grinding wheels (perfect grinding
wheels emit a clear tone when hit lightly with
e.g. a plastic hammer). This also applies when
you fi t new grinding wheels (damage in tran-
sit). It is essential to subject the machine to an
unloaded test run of at least 5 minutes. Leave
the danger zone while the test is in progress.
2. Use only grinding wheels which are marked
with details of the manufacturer, the type of
bonding agent used, dimensions and the per-
missible RPM.
3. Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry
place, ideally at a constant temperature.
4. Use only the clamping fl anges supplied with
the equipment to mount the grinding wheels.
5. Use only clamping fl anges of identical size
and identical shape to mount the grinding
wheels. The intermediate layers between the
clamping fl ange and the grinding wheel must
be comprised of elastic materials, e.g. rubber,
soft cardboard, etc.
6. Never enlarge a grinding wheel‘s mounting
hole by subsequent drilling.
7. The workpiece supports and the top adjus-
table safety guards must always be moved as
close as possible to the grinding wheel (max.
2 mm clearance).
