1050W Angle Grinder 125mm
278581
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land on
skin or clothing
• Do not touch the spindle lock button while the tool is operating
• A grinding disc will gradually wear down during use, reducing its size.
If a disc
becomes too small to work with easily, stop using it and replace it with a new disc
Additional Safety For Super Abrasives
• Superabrasives are generally inflexible and could shatter, so must be handled
with the utmost care.
Damaged or improperly mounted superabrasives are
dangerous and can cause SEVERE injury to the user and other people in the vicinity
• Types of superabrasive wheels include diamond cutting discs, welded
metal discs, CBN discs etc.
Choose your superabrasive tool carefully, taking into
consideration the workpiece material, the machine dimensions and capabilities.
Make sure the machine does not exceed the maximum operating speed of the
superabrasive disc
• NEVER use superabrasive cutting discs for side grinding, as this might lead to
the disc shattering
• Superabrasive wheels have to be carefully inspected and tested before
mounting.
Metal wheels should be subjected to a sound test: hold the wheel on a
mandrel or with a finger inserted through the bore, then tap it with a non-metallic
object at several points and listen each time to the sound produced. An intact wheel
will produce a clear ‘bell like’ metallic sound. Damaged wheels will give a dull,
chattering sound. If in doubt, DO NOT USE, MARK AS DAMAGED AND DISCARD
• Make sure the machine’s mounting flange is compatible with the
superabrasive wheel.
Refer to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions
• ALWAYS conduct a test run after mounting, with no load for at least 30
seconds, to determine if the wheel runs balanced and does not produce
excessive vibration.
If it does, switch off IMMEDIATELY, remove the disc, inspect,
re-mount and re-test if no damage is detected
• If planning on using the superabrasive wheel with a coolant, liquid dust
suppressant or lubricant, first check if the wheel, machine and workpiece are
compatible with wet cutting and with the compound to be used.
Always apply
liquid to an already running wheel, never to a non-moving tool, as the unbalance
could lead to the rupture of the wheel. When switching off, remove the liquid supply
first and let the machine run at no-load, until centrifugal forces have drained all
liquid from the wheel. Dry off the wheel after use, and prevent liquid from being
absorbed into the wheel
