•
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
•
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
•
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
•
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan can draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Do not operate the power
tool while placed on a combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
•
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
•
Operate the grinder within its indicated design specification. Your grinder has a
plate indicating:
1. Size of arbour.
2. No-load speed in revolutions per minute.
3. Proper grinding wheel.
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches are safety hazards. Ensure
that the working area of the grinding wheel is free of tools or other objects before
starting up the grinder. Frequently clean grinding dust from beneath the grinder.
•
Do not use power tools in damp or wet environments or expose them to rain. Be
sure to keep the work area well lighted.
•
Check the position of the power cord during operation making sure that it remains
outside the range of action of the grinding wheel and is not under tension. Never
operate in the vicinity of other electrical cables/cords.
•
Ensure the workshop is child proof with padlocks and master switches. Also, do not
allow anyone but the operator to touch the power cord or remain in the close
vicinity of the grinder while operating.
Note:
The power supply cable/cord comes complete with terminals and circuit protection.
Connecting the power supply cable/cord terminals directly into the switch
completes the electrical system for the grinder. The final electrical connection to the
outlet should be made in such a way as to prevent damage by individuals or
passing vehicles that could endanger both them and the operator.
