If the grinder has a silencer, always ensure that it is in 

place and in good working order whenever the grinder 

is being operated.

 

Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted 

tool as recommended in the instructions handbook to 

prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

VIBRATION HAZARDS

The information for use shall draw attention to vibration 

hazards that have not been eliminated by design and 

construction and remain as a residual vibration risk. It shall 

enable employers to identify the circumstances in which 

the operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure. 

If the vibration emission value obtained using ISO 28927-

1 for angle and vertical grinders, ISO 28927-4 for straight 

grinders or ISO 20643 does not adequately represent the 

vibration emission in the intended uses (and foreseeable 

misuses) of the machine, additional information and/or 

warnings shall be supplied to enable the risks arising from 

vibration to be assessed and managed.

 

Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to 

the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.

 

Wear warm clothing whenever working in cold 

conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.

 

If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening 

of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the 

grinder, tell your employer and consult a physician.

 

Operate and maintain the grinder as recommended in 

the instructions handbook to prevent an unnecessary 

increase in vibration levels.

 

Do not allow the inserted tool to chatter on the work 

piece as this is likely to cause a substantial increase 

in vibration.

 

Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted 

tool as recommended in the instructions handbook to 

prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.

 

Support the mass of the tool in a stand, tensioner or 

balancer, if possible.

 

Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account 

of the required hand reaction forces because the risk 

arising from vibration is generally greater where the 

grip force is higher.

 

Use blotters where they are provided with the bonded 

abrasive product.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

PNEUMATIC POWER TOOLS

 

Air under pressure can cause severe injury.

 

Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure 

and disconnect tool from air supply whenever not in 

use, before changing accessories or where making 

repairs.

 

Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.

 

Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always 

check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.

 

Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) 

are used, lock-pins shall be installed and whipcheck 

safety cables shall be used to safeguard against 

possible hose-to-tool and hose-to-hose connection 

failure.

 

Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on 

the tool.

 

Never carry an air tool by the hose.

 

The spare parts should be not changed by the user.

 

Regularly check the spindle and wheel fixation for 

wear.
