5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
carried out by a qualified trained person. Each time after mounting, the superabrasive shall be test run
for a reasonable time – the specified maximum operating speed of the superabrasive shall not be
exceeded.
Further information. The following instructions shall be observed, supplementary to the information of
the grinding machine:
– Observance of the user’s information of grinding machine manufacturer.
– Before starting, safety devices shall be mounted to the machine.
– No grinding operations without protection by safety devices.
– Use of personal protective equipment according to the type of machine and type of application,
e.g. eye and face protection, ear protection, respiratory protection devices, protective footwear,
protective gloves and other protective clothing.
– Only grinding operations for which the superabrasive is suitable shall be carried out (taking into
account restrictions of use, safety indications or other information).
– In the case of cutting-off with hand-held grinding machines, the superabrasive shall be placed
in the cutting gap in a straight position. Jamming of the hand-held grinding machine shall be
prevented.
– Before placing the hand-held grinding machine on the workbench or on the floor it shall be
turned off and it shall be ensured that the abrasive product has stopped.
5.5 RESIDUAL RISK
Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk
which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
5.6 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with an approved plug and cable for your safety. The value of the fuse
fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute
is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI
The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced
before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement
must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable shall be disabled to prevent connection
to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class I
†
and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.
†
Earthed: This product requires an earth connection to protect against electric shock from
accessible conductive parts in the event of a failure of the basic insulation.
Important
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
