MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. (The following instructions must be observed together with those in Section 1).
DAngEr! use of a damaged wheel (stone) is dangerous and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
WArnIng! Ensure grinder is unplugged from mains supply before attempting to change grinding wheel (stone). only
persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels regulations” and holding a current grinding wheel certificate are authorised
to change and dress grinding wheels (stones).
Grinding wheels used with this machine must be of an adequate speed rating and suitable for the material to be ground.
Ensure the maximum speed specification of the wheel is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.
Check that grinding wheels are secure and that wheels are not worn or damaged, that there are no fissures or cracks. If damaged
replace immediately.
Ensure replacement wheel is not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting flanges
for deformation, burrs or chips. Damaged flanges must
noT
be used as they may produce high stresses in the wheel causing it to
break.
Do noT
over tighten a wheel. Never tamper with a wheel in order to adapt it to a different size shaft.
Install a new wheel as in 4.2. Once mounted on the grinder test the wheel before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point it
