Clarke CBG6RP, Operating & Maintenance Instructions

Page: 4 / 12

8. WEAR THE PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
any other jewellery which might get caught in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
9. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GOGGLES. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Also use a face mask if grinding operation
is generating a lot of dust.
10. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep a firm footing and proper balance at all times.
11. DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS before attempting any kind of service work or
adjustment or when changing accessories such as grinding wheels.
12. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging in.
13. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of tool, any damaged part
should be carefully inspected and checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, mounting, and any other damage that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. If in any doubt contact your local dealer.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH GRINDERS
1. Replace a cracked wheel immediately.
2. Always use guards and eyeshield.
3. Do not overtighten the wheel nut.
4. Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to maintain 1/16” (1.6mm) or less
separation, as the diameter of the wheel decreases with use.
5. Use a grinding wheel suitable for the speed of grinder. (See technical data).
6. Stand slightly to one side of the bench grinder during operation, not facing
directly in front.
7. One minute of free rotation is necessary for a new grinding wheel. Should the
new grinding wheel be faulty and break, it will happen within the first minute
of operation.
8. NEVER remove the wheel guard except when changing a worn wheel.
9. Do not use the grinding wheel for any kind of cutting.
10. Do not over stress the grinding wheel.
11. NEVER LEAVE A GRINDER RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
12. USE ONLY APPROVED REPLACEMENT GRINDING WHEELS. Contact your local
dealer or Clarke International for approved replacement grinding wheels
and accessories. The use of inferior accessories may cause risk of injury.
13. Never use the side of the grinding wheel. Use only the front face.
