f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control;
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BENCH GRINDERS
- The guard provided with the power tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
- Use only vitrified grinding wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
- Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
It is not because the accessory can be attached to your power tool that it does assure safe operation.
- The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
- The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
- The arbour size of wheels, flanges or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as offset diamond wheels for
chips and cracks. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
- Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
- Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of dust may cause electrical hazards. 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.
- Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
- Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
- Switch off the machine immediately if unusual vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the
machine in order to find out the cause.
- The dust that arises when working with this tool can be harmful to health. Use a dust absorption system
and wear a suitable dust protection mask and remove deposited dust with a vacuum cleaner.
- Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock screw.
Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.
- Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
- Watch out for flying sparks.
- Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
- Do not touch the wheel immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
- Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store
wheels with care.
- If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a shortcircuit
breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.
