SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Check before operating
Before starting, read the instructions
carefully and get familiar with the machine.
Stop the motor
The work area must be orderly, well lit and
hazard free (eg no moisture and no
hazardous products nearby).
The operator must wear suitable personal
protective equipment.
Safety earmuffs required.
Unauthorized persons must be kept away.
Use only discs marked with a
maximum operating speed greater
than that of the disk shaft
Gasoline (petrol) powered machine
(see motor maintenance manual):
Always check ambient health &
safety conditions.
•
Fill up gas (petrol) tank.
•
Check oil. Since the motor is often operated in
inclined position, check frequently, in horizontal
position, that oil level never falls below the second
mark on the gauge.
Electric powered machine
Verify the following:
ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Must be connected
to power source using a grounded 30mA
residual differential current circuit-breaker.
Should their be no such circuit breaker on
the power supply network, please see our
catalogue for different models available.
•
Proper use of residual differential current (RDC)
system, including periodic inspection. For tools with
an RDC system built into the electrical cord or plug:
should the cord or plug become damaged, repairs
may be performed only by the manufacturer, their
authorized agent or a qualified repair shop in order to
avoid any hazard due to improper repair.
•
Motor power supply: reinforced HO7 RNF electrical
cable with 5 x 2.5 mm² section of up to 100 meters
for 400V.
•
Ensure that voltage of the power network matches
that identified on the identity plate of the machine
•
Three-phase motor: ensure that the rotational
direction of the shaft corresponds to that shown by
the arrow on the disk housing. If the motor does not
rotate in the desired direction, inverse two phases by
turning two power socket terminals.
•
Machine must be grounded.
Scrap
Should the machine wear out or
break, it must be disposed of in
compliance with legislation in force.
