- This electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user.
Special safety instructions
When using the machine for the first time:
Check the following:•
Does the voltage rating of the bench grinder correspond to the power supply?•
Is an earthed mains power socket available?•
Are the power cord and plug in good condition (solid, without fraying or other damage)?•
Avoid the use of long extension cords. The extension cords you use must always be earthed.•
A grinding wheel is a brittle toolpiece.The stone is not resistant to knocks.•
Always grind on the front edge of the grinding wheel, and never on the side of the grinding•
wheel. Never fit a cracked grinding wheel. Replace it immediately, as the high rotational
speed could cause the stone to fly apart, causing a serious accident.
Always wear safety glasses when grinding.•
Never grind without the cover fitted over the grinding wheel.•
Always fit the grinding wheel cover and tool rest tightly, and with the correct clearance.•
Never allow more than 1-1.5 mm clearance between tool rest and grinding wheel.
Only use the grinding wheel for the work it was designed for (for example sharpening•
tools), and NOT for heavy construction work.
The following information must be available, before you fit any new grinding wheel:•
Details about the manufacturer.•
Binding material.•
Dimensions.•
Permissible rotational speed.•
Never ream out the hole in a grinding wheel to a larger diameter.•
The maximum rotational speed of the grinding wheel should never be allowed to exceed•
the maximum speed given for the wheel.
Never use any grinding wheel that is damaged or deformed.•
In order to be able to grind safely, the machine must be firmly bolted to a workbench.•
The tool rest should be replaced whenever the width of the tool rest measures less than 20•
mm.
The recommended depth of the recess in the flange (T) is 2 mm and the diameter of the•
spindle hole is 13 mm (see Fig. B, page 12).
