SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to
the maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not
exceed the value on the grinding disc.
Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the
specifications of the machine.
Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do
not use reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.
Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier’s instructions.
Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness
exceeding the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
Do not use grinding discs for deburring.
When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make
sure that the spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is
sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.
Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding
discs which are cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged.
Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or
occurrence of another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc
before switching the machine on again.
Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact
highly flammable substances.
Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your
hands away from the surface to be cut.
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also
use another kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.
Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded
abrasive product and when they are required.
If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the
thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
