9. safety deVices
The grinder is equipped with the safety devices illustrated hereafter:
- shield guards: they protect the operator from parts of the grinding wheel that may
come away during the sharpening process.
These guards must always be fitted in place when the machine is in use.
Always make sure the guards are not damaged and properly fitted. Operator safety
could be compromised if the guards are damaged and/or cracked.
- switch: the machine features a safety switch with release coil. In the case of a
sudden power failure, the switch trips automatically and disconnects the machine
from the mains. The machine will not start even if the power supply is suddenly
restored. You need to reset the switch to start the machine again.
