4.2
Storage
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under
proper operating conditions. Depending on the age respectively on
the wear of the machine it is possible that the noise behaviour of
the machine changes.
Furthermore, the factor of the noise emission is also depending on
manufacturing influencing factors, e.g. speed, material and clamp-
ing conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is the emission level and not nec-
essarily a safe working level. Though there is a dependency
between the degree of the noise emission and the degree of the
noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if
further precaution measures are required or not. The following fac-
tors influence the actual degree of the noise exposure of the oper-
ator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping
behaviour,
Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
Other processes taking place in the proximity and the
period of time during which the operator is exposed to
the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level
might be different from country to country due to national regula-
tions. This information about the noise emission shall allow the
operator of the machine to more easily evaluate the endangering
and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic limit
values the machine operators must wear an appropriate
hearing protection. We generally recommend to use a noise
protection and a hearing protection.

Unpacking and connecting
The grinding machine is delivered pre-assembled.
4.1
Scope of delivery
When the grinding machine is delivered, please check immediately
that it has not been damaged during transport. Also check that no
fastening screws have come loose.
Compare the delivery volume with the data on the delivery note.
The grinding machines are supplied in the standard package with-
out grinding wheels and cleaning brushes.
Grinding wheels and cleaning brushes are available in specialist
shops or from our main catalog.
WARNING!
Severe or fatal injuries may occur if parts of the machine
tumble or fall down from the forklift truck or from the
transport vehicle. Follow the instructions and information on
the transport case.
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension gear that
might break under load can cause severe injuries or even
death. Check that the lifting and load suspension gear has
sufficient load capacity and that it is in perfect condition.
Observe the accident prevention regulations issued by your
Employers Liability Insurance Association or other competent
supervisory authority, responsible for your company. Fasten
the loads properly. Never walk under suspended loads!
ATTENTION!
In case of wrong and improper storage electrical and
mechanical machine components might get damaged and
destroyed.
Store packed and unpacked parts only under the intended
environmental conditions.
Follow the instructions and
information on the transport case.
Consult Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH if the machine and
accessories are stored for more than three months or are stored
under different environmental conditions than those given here.
4.3
Installation and assembly
4.3.1 Requirements regarding the installation site
Organize the working area around the grinding machine accord-
ing to the local safety regulations.
WARNING!
The grinding machine must be connected to the substructure.
INFORMATION
In order to attain good functionality and a high processing accu-
racy as well as a long durability of the machine the installation site
should fulfil certain criteria.
Please observe the following points:
The device must only be installed and operated in a dry
and well-ventilated place.
Avoid places nearby machines generating chips or dust.
The installation site must be free from vibrations also at a
distance of presses, planing machines, etc.
The substructure must be suitable for the grinding
machine. Also make sure that the floor has sufficient load
bearing capacity and is level.
The substructure must be prepared in a way that possibly
used coolant cannot penetrate into the floor.
Any parts sticking out such as stops, handles, etc. have
to be secured by measures taken by the customer if nec-
essary in order to avoid endangerment of persons.
Provide sufficient space for the staff preparing and oper-
ating the machine and transporting the material.
Also consider that the machine is accessible for setting
and maintenance works.
Provide for sufficient illumination (Minimum value: 500
lux, measured at the tool tip). At little intensity of illumina-
tion an additional illumination has to be ensured e.g. by
means of a separate workplace lamp.
The mains plug of the grinding machine must be freely
accessible.
CAUTION!
Lay the connection cable of the machine so that a stumble of
persons is prevented.
4.4
Basic information on grinding wheels and
cleaning brushes
Various shortcomings during installation and operation
can lead to bursting of grinding wheels.
Ordinary grinding wheels are generally not designed to
withstand a greater lateral load.
Tap off cutting debris from the grinding wheel always
leads to damage of the grinding wheel.
Individual needles of cleaning brushes can fly away like a
bullet.
Grinding wheels which may have an imbalance burst
easily.
