Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make
sure switch is in off-position before plugging in.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the
owner's manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk
of injury to persons.
Never stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if the machine is tipped or if the grinding
belt is unintentionally contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function – check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
Direction of feed. Feed work against the direction
of rotation of grinding tool only.
Never leave the machine running while unat-
tended. Turn power off. Don't leave machine until
it comes to a complete stop.

1.2 Electrical Safety Notes.

The mains plug of the machine
WARNING
may be mounted only by a quali-
fied electrician. The protective conductor in the
mains socket outlet must be connected with the
protective earthing of the mains supply.
Check the rotation direction of the motor before
starting the operation of the machine for the first
time. If the rotation direction of the motor is
incorrect, the workpiece can be thrown from
the machine and cause an accident. The rotation
direction may be changed only by a qualified
electrician.
When wiring this machine make sure it is prop-
erly grounded in accordance with National Elec-
tric code and local codes and ordinances. This
work should be done by a qualified electrician.

1.3 Specific Safety Notes for Belt Grinders.

Make sure that the undercar-
CAUTION
riage stands securely and has a
level setup position. Fasten the undercarriage to
the ground. If the undercarriage tips over during
operation, serious injuries can result.

Use appropriate fastening material when mount-
ing the machine to the undercarriage. When
mounted incorrectly, the machine can come
loose from the undercarriage and cause serious
accidents.
Always use the protective devices of the machine.
The protective devices must be securely mounted
to the machine and positioned for maximum
safety. The protective devices help to protect
the operator from flying grinding particles and
unintentional contact with the grinding belt.
Pay attention that persons are not harmed by
sparking. Remove combustible materials in the
direct area. Sparks develop when grinding met-
als.
When grinding metals (e. g. alu-
DANGER
minium or magnesium), dust
develops that can be combustible or explosive. Do
not operate the machine in the vicinity of combus-
tible materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
When grinding metals, red hot metal and grinding
belt particles develop and are collected in the dust
collector. Before emptying, the contents of the
dust collector must have cooled sufficiently and
may be disposed only in suitable containers.
Never brush away any dust while the machine is
in operation. All clean up should be done when
the machine is stopped.
Additional precautions may be necessary for
grinding materials which are flammable or have
other hazardous properties. You should always
consult the manufacturers of such material for
instructions on grinding and handling.
Make sure that you or other persons are not
standing directly next to the grinding belt when
switching the machine on. The grinding belt can
tear apart and cause serious injuries.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grinding
belts. Handle grinding belts with care and store
them in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer. Do not bend or crease grinding
belts! Damaged grinding belts can tear apart and
be thrown from the machine resulting in possi-
ble personal injury.
