3) SAFETY
a) The saw chain grinder must be used exclusively by adults who previously read carefully this manual & are perfectly aware of the operating procedures and
safety rules.
Avoid any wrong positioning. Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.
b) The saw chain grinder must be used by persons in good health and really aware of what they are doing.
c) Before starting the machine, always wear safety goggles
d) Do not remove, or otherwise make safety devices like the grinding wheel guard (Part nr. 13036) ineffectual. Never modify any part of the machine.
e) Do all the machine set up procedures, the grinding wheel assembling and disassembling when the machine is switched off and fully unplugged.
f) Always use electric cables, plugs and sockets in good conditions and up to safety norms, and "earthed". The electrical connection must be carried out only
after preventing people, machines or equipment located in the operation place from damaging it & causing dangerous situations.
g) If the connecting cable is damaged, do not switch the machine on. Remove the plug from the power socket with extreme care (in any circumstance do not
come in contact with the current). Have the cable repaired/replaced exclusively by an authorised & qualified service point.
h) Make sure that the power cable is always far from the grinding area. Do not perform chain-grinding operations near other power cables.
i) Place the grinder on the workbench in a comfortable position for the operator (See Installation instructions in this manual), so the grinding area is clearly
visible and the machine is securely fastened to the bench. The working area must be free from tools and other objects, and far from any inflammable material.
During grinding the grinding wheel generates sparks which could cause fires or explosions.
j) Do not place the grinder at the operator eye level. The grinding point of view must be from up to down. For an easier and safer grinding procedure the
machine must be below the eye level.
k) Always keep the grinder and especially the handgrip clean and dry.
l) Before starting grinding operations, send away all the strictly unessential people around your working area (they may hinder your work), all the ones who
do not wear safety goggles, and do not know perfectly how to use the grinder.
m) Always do maintenance work, (to do this properly, follow the instructions given in this manual). Never work with a damaged grinder.
n) While grinding, always hold the handgrip with one hand and move the chain forward with the other one only when the machine arm in completely lifted up
(and the grinding wheel is far from the chain forwarding point).
4) WARNINGS ABOUT THE GRINDING WHEEL
