▪ 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 grinding 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 manufacturer’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.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR KICKBACK
If an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break
under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
▪ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
▪ Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
▪ Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of
snagging.
▪ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
▪ Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
