SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
WARNING!
Replace cracked grinding wheels immediately.
2. Unplug from power supply before adjusting or servicing. The grinding wheels continue to rotate
after the tool is switched off. Always allow wheels to stop before adjusting or servicing.
3. Do not over tighten spindle nuts.
4. Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to maintain an appropriate distance from the grinding
wheel.
5. When a new grinding wheel has been fitted or during each start-up, stand to one side of the
grinder and switch it ‘On’. Let the grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute so
that any undetected flaws or cracks will become apparent.
6. Never grind on the side of the wheel. Grind on the face of the wheel only.
7. Never apply pressure to the workpiece when the grinding wheel is cold. Allow the wheel to
warm up by applying the workpiece gradually.
8. Never use the grinder without the wheel guards. Keep thumbs and fingers away from the wheel.
9. Tighten grinding wheel locking nuts, securing bolts and all clamps and guards.
10. Never reach behind or beneath the grinding wheels.
11. When fitting a new grinding wheel, always
check that the stated maximum RPM meets or
exceeds that stated on the grinder. Also check the new wheel for damage such as flaws or
cracks. If the wheel appears satisfactory, fit it to the grinder.
