■
If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these at the site of their re-
lease.
■
All inserts or accessories of the machine in-
tended for collecting, extracting or suppressing
airborne dust or vapours or should be used and
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
■
Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or
vapour production.
■
Use breathing equipment as per the instructions
provided by your employer or as required by
health and safety regulations.
■
The processing of certain materials can cause
the production of dust and vapours which can
lead to the formation of a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Hazards caused by noise
■
Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuffi-
cient hearing protection may lead to permanent
hearing damage, hearing loss and other prob-
lems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling
or humming in your ears).
■
Suitable regulatory mechanisms include meas-
ures such as the use of insulation materials to
avoid pinging occurring on the workpieces.
■
Use hearing protection equipment.
■
The abrasive grinding machine is to be oper-
ated and maintained in accordance with the
recommendations contained in this manual to
reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise
levels.
■
If the abrasive grinding machine is equipped
with a silencer, always ensure that it is in its
place and in working order when the machine
is in operation.
■
Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels.
Hazards caused by vibrations
■
Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause
malfunctions to the blood circulation in the
hands and arms.
■
When working in a cold environment, wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm
and dry.
■
If you experience numbness, tingling or pain
in your fingers or hands, or if the skin on your
fingers or hands turns white, stop using the
abrasive grinding machine, inform your
employer and consult a doctor.
■
The abrasive grinding machine is to be oper-
ated and maintained in accordance with the
recommendations contained in this manual to
reduce any unnecessary increase of the vibra-
tions.
■
Do not allow the machine tool to rattle against
the workpiece, as this is highly likely to lead to
a considerable increase in vibrations.
■
Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the vibrations.
■
Always use a stand, a clamp or a compensation
device to support the weight of the machine.
■
Hold the machine securely but not too firmly
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction
force, as the vibration risk generally increases
the harder the machine is held.
■
Use intermediate layers if they are intended for
bonded abrasives.
Additional safety instructions for
pneumatic machines
■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
–
Ensure that the air supply is switched off,
the hose is not under pressure, that the air
supply has been shut off and that the ma-
chine is disconnected from the air supply
when not in use, and also before exchang-
ing accessories or carrying out repairs.
–
Never aim the airflow towards yourself or
any other person.
