Safety measures during operation
CAUTION!
Risk by inhaling health hazardous dusts and fogs.
Depending on the materials which need to be treated and the agents which are used,
dusts and fogs may be generated which endanger your health.
Make sure that the generated health hazardous dusts and fogs are safely sucked-off at
the place of origin and that they are dissipated or filtered. To do so, use a suitable
extraction unit.
CAUTION!
Risk of fire and explosion by using inflammable materials or cooling-lubricating agents.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using
inflammable auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit) it is necessary to take additional preventive
measures in order to safely avoid health risks.
1.8
Safety devices
Use the grinding machine for burins only with properly functioning safety devices.
Stop the grinding machine for burins immediately if there is a failure on the safety device or if it
is not functioning for any reason. It is your responsibility!
If a safety device has been activated the grinding machine for burins must only be used if you
have removed the cause of the failure,
have verified that there is no danger resulting for the staff or objects.
WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or deactivate a safety device in any other way, you are
endangering yourself and other staff working with the grinding machine for burins and
tools.
The possible consequences are:
extremely serious injuries by bursting of the abrasive wheel,
injury of eyes due to flying sparks,
injury of hands,
a fatal electrocution.
WARNING!
The separating protective covers which are made available and delivered together with
the machine are designed to reduce the risk of workpieces or fragments of tools or
workpieces flying off at high speed - however, this cannot be completely avoided.
Always work carefully and observe the limit values of your grinding process.
1.9
Safety check
Check the grinding machine for burins before each start-up or at least once per shift. Inform the
person responsible immediately of any damage, defect or change in operating function.
Check all safety devices
at the beginning of each shift (at continuous operation),
once a week (with the machine in operation),
after every maintenance and repair work.
