Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be diff erent from
grinding wheel fl anges.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool
and may burst.
GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDERS
– Check that speed marked on the wheel is
equal to or greater than the rated speed of the
grinder;
– Ensure that the wheel dimensions are
compatible with the grinder;
– Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled
with care in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions;
– Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not
use chipped, cracked or otherwise defective
products;
– Ensure that mounted wheels and points are
fi tted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions;
– Ensure that blotters are used when they are
provided with the bonded abrasive product and
when they are required;
– Do not use the power tool to machine materials
that contain components that are harmful to
health.
– Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly
mounted and tightened before use and run the
tool at no-load for 30 s in a safe position, stop
immediately if there is considerable vibration
or if other defects are detected. If this condition
occurs, check the machine to determine the
cause;
– If a guard is equipped with the tool never use
the tool without such a guard;
– Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adapters to adapt large hole abrasive wheels;
– For tools intended to be fi tted with threaded
hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel
is long enough to accept the spindle length;
– Check that the work piece is properly
supported;
– Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding;
– Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not
create a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite
fl ammable substances;
– Ensure that ventilation openings are kept
clear when working in dusty conditions, if it
should become necessary to clear dust, fi rst
disconnect the tool from the mains supply
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging
internal parts;
– Always use eye and ear protection. Other
personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be
worn;
– Pay attention to the wheel that continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off .
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND
SYMBOLS
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label.
Wheels and other accessories running over
rated speed can fl y apart and cause injury.
2. Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
3. Always wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
4. Never touch moving parts.
Never place your hands, fi ngers
or other body parts near the tool’s
moving parts.
5. Never operate without all guards in place.
Never operate this tool without all guards or
safety features in place and in proper working
order. If maintenance or servicing requires the
removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure
to replace the guard or safety feature before
resuming operation of the tool.
6. Use right tool.
Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool.
Don’t use tool for purpose not intended —for
example— don’t use circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.
7. Never use a power tool for applications
other than those specifi ed.
Never use a power tool for applications other
than those specifi ed in the instruction manual.
