other factors affecting the power tool work safety. If any
damage to the power tool is detected, it should be repaired
before use.
Improper power tool maintenance is a reason for many
accidents.
f) Cutting tools should be sharp and clean. Keeping sharp cutting
edges in good condition reduces the risk of jamming and facilitates
operation.
g) Power tools, equipment, working tools etc. should be used
according to this user's manual taking into account operating
conditions and the work to be done.
Misusing a power tool can
result in dangerous situations.
h) At low temperatures and after a long brakes in operation it is
recommended to turn the power tool to operate it with no
load for a few minutes to provide proper grease distribution
inside its driving mechanism.
i) Use soft, damp (cannot be wet) cloth and soap to clean power
tools. Do not use petrol, solvents and other agents that may
damage your equipment
.
j) Power tools can be stored/carried after making sure that all
moving components are locked and protected against release
with original devices intended for this purpose.
k) Store power tools in a dry, dust and water-protected place.
l) Carry your power tool in its original packaging to provide
protection against mechanical damage.
m) Keep handles and grip surfaces clean and free from oil and
grease. Secure grip and control over the tool in unexpected
circumstances are impossible if handles and grip surfaces are slippery.
manufacturer and marked with at least the same maximum
speed as the maximum speed permissible for the machine, as
shown on its nameplate.
The fact that a grinding wheel can be
installed on the machine does not guarantee its safe use.
e) Under no circumstances are you allowed to use distorted or
damaged grinding wheels. Before each use always check the
grinding wheel for chips and cracks.
Whenever you drop the
power tool or any grinding wheel, check it for damage and use other
undamaged grinding wheel, if necessary. Once the grinding wheel is
checked and installed, start your power tool and allow it to run at
maximum speed for 1 minute, making sure that the user and any other
persons keep a safe distance from the grinding wheel working area.
f) Check the distance between the bench top on a regular basis.
Set the anti-spark guard as often as it necessary to
compensate for its wear and provide constant gap of not more
than 2 mm between the grinding wheel and its guard.
When
the gap exceeds the above mentioned value the protection is
compromised. The object machined can be drawn in when the grinding
wheel rotates resulting in injuries to the operator.
g) Wear protective clothing (an apron). Make sure sparks
generated during operation do not reach anybody staying in
the area. Remove any flammable materials from the working
zone.
h) Maximum permissible wheel speed cannot be lower than the
maximum speed provided on machine's nameplate. The
wheel rotating at a speed exceeding its permissible speed can
break or produce chips.

Electrical safety :
Repair :
a) Do not use a power tool with its power cord damaged. Do not
touch the power cord when damaged; in case of damaging
the power cord during operation unplug it from the mains.
Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
b) The power tool must be connected to a properly
grounded/earthed power source.
A wall socket and any extension
cable must be fitted with a working protective (PE) conductor of earthing
system.
c) The grinding machine is equipped with an undetachable
power cord.
If the undetachable power cord is damaged, it should be
replaced with a special cord or a set available from the manufacturer or a

b) If a fixed power cord is damaged, to avoid risks it should be
replaced by power tool manufacturer or in a specialty repair
shop or by a qualified person.
WARNING!
While operating power tools it is necessary to observe basic
work safety rules to avoid fire, electric shock or mechanical
injury.
