Grinding safety
a)
The machine contains rotating parts, which are protected with a cover. Always leave the diamond disc on
the floor while the motor is turning.
b)
The flexible coupling can become worn out with use, because of this there can be higher vibrations than
normal. Check for this reason the flexible coupling for deformation and damage before every use.
c)
Do not let the machine rest on the diamond disc or coupling when it is not in use, this will cause
deformation to the flexible coupling.
d)
Always put the machine on the machine support which is made especially for this reason.
e)
Make sure the brush seals are in good condition, this to avoid dust escaping.
f)
Make sure the diamond disc is not damaged or worn out.
g)
Always pull out the main plug before u start changing the grinding disks or polishing pads.
h)
When mounting or removing a diamond disc; lay down the machine so it is lying on the handle. Make sure
the machine will not fall back down. A second person can hold the handle down, to make sure it will not
fall back down.
i)
When changing the disks u should wear Personal Protective Equipment like a dust mask, safety goggles,
gloves, protective shoes, and close fitting protective clothing.
Use the vacuum cleaner while changing the discs to prevent excessive dust.
j)
Caution! The grinding disc will heat up during grinding, don’t risk getting burned, always wear
protective gloves when handling them!
k)
The machine contains rotating parts; because of this
never
pull the machine backwards with a turning
motor.
l)
Be careful with the machine and pull or let down the machine slowly, big shocks can damage the electrical
parts.
3.6
Dustcollector safety
a)
Always use a Blastrac dust collector to ensure a dust-free operation of the machine and clean air at the
workspace. Also the airflow helps to cool the machine and prevents overheating.
b)
When working on or around
carcinogenic or pathogenic substances,
the dust collector must be fitted
with a HEPA filter.
c)
Read the operating instructions of the dust collector before using it.
d)
The dust container/bag of the dust collector must be emptied regularly. Comply with the local waste
treatment regulations considering the removed material.
e)
The dust hose must be connected properly with a hose clamp and industrial tape.
f)
The dust hose must be undamaged and free of obstructions.
g)
Always switch on the dust collector first!
3.7
Petrol version safety
a)
Make sure there is no oil or petrol leaking out of the petrol engine.
b)
Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or
equipment damage.
c)
Look for signs of damage and remove any excessive dirt or debris.
d)
To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter
(3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
e)
Anyone who is not operating this machine must be kept away from the area of operation due to a
possibility of burns from hot engine components. Parts will remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. Let the engine cool before transporting it or storing it indoors.
f)
When transporting or storing the engine, turn the fuel valve OFF and keep the engine horizontal.
g)
Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone
to operate the engine without proper instructions.
h)
Do not place flammable objects such as gasoline, matches, etc., close to the engine while it is running. Do
not place anything on the engine.
i)
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Let engine cool before refueling.
j)
Do not overfill the fuel tank. There should be no fuel in the filler neck.
k)
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
l)
! Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
Avoid inhalation of exhaust gases
. Never run
the engine in a closed garage or confined area!
Always wear a dust mask.
