6 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to the
maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on
the grinding disc.
Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the
machine.
Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use
reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.
Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier’s instructions.
Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the
maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
Do not use cutting discs for deburring.
When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the
spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does
not touch the grinding surface.
Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are
cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged.
Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of
another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the
machine on again.
Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable
substances.
Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away
from the surface to be cut.
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another
kind of protection, like for example an apron or helmet.
Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manuf
acturer’s
instructions.
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product
and when they are required.
If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the
wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it
should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when
starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the
mains-impedance Zmax <0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of
need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.
7 ASSEMBLY / MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Prior to mounting/dismounting an accessory always unplug the tool.
7.1
Mounting / adjusting / removing the guard
The safety guard of your POWXQ angle grinder is equipped with a quick clamp system,
allowing you to mount, move or remove the guard without tools.
Warning: Never operate the angle grinder without the safety guard properly
mounted and locked.
