PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
ALWAYS wear the approved eye, ear and respiratory protection during operation
.
Use safety glasses or goggles which conform to BSEN136 or CE equivalent that
provide protection from the front and side. It is always the users responsiblity for
following accepted eye, face, respiratory, hearing and body protection.
2.
Dress appropriately.
Always ensure that all long hair and loose clothing, ties,
scarves, jewelery, etc., are secured or removed.
3.
STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
grinder.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. Loss of concentration while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
4.
To Avoid accidental starting be sure the power switch is in the ‘off ’ position before plugging in.
Plugging in tools that have the switch on is very dangerous.
5.
Remove wrenches before turning the grinder ‘on’.
A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
6.
Never use the grinder without the safety guards in position
and operating correctly.
WARNING!
Grinding dust becomes a potential health problem when
airborne. Breathing these particles may cause allergic respiratory symptoms,
mucosal & non-allergic respiratory symptoms & cancer.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be fitted in the mains
electricity distribution board.
PLUG FITTING
A moulded UK 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is already fitted for your
safety. If it becomes damaged, and needs replacing, cut off the plug and
prepare the wires. Use the following instructions:
a)
Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal marked
either ‘ E’ or with the earth symbol ‘ ’.
b)
Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal marked ‘ L’.
c)
Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal marked ‘ N’.
d)
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable
external insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Yellow & Green = Earth wire
Brown = Live wire
Blue = Neutral wire

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
When the distance between the outer diameter of the grinding
wheel and the edge of the work support is greater than 5mm,
the grinding wheel needs to be replaced.
Checking New Grinding Wheels
New grinding wheels must be tested using a “ringing test”
method. A light tap on the grinding wheel with a light non-
metalic impliment or knocking the grinding wheel against a
surface, will produce a clear ringing sound which will indicate
that it is intact.
Changing A Grinding Wheel
1. Loosen the three screws.
2. Remove the outer covering plate.
3. Remove the holding nut, flange and grinding wheel.
4. Insure that the second flange remains on the shaft.
5. Put the replacement grinding wheel onto the shaft.
6. Replace the flange and the nut.
7. Secure the nut fully but do not over tighten.
8. Remount the covering plate with the three screws.
9. Adjust the spark deflector and work support to a 2mm gap.
A certain oscillation of the wheel is normal, up to 0.3mm in radial and 0.5mm in axial direction
measured at the circumference of the wheel.
