Safety instructions for table-top grinding machines
a) Never use damaged tool attachments. Check
tool attachments such as grinding discs for
chipping and cracks before each use. Once
you have checked and used the tool attach-
ment, ensure that you and all other persons
in the vicinity remain outside the plane of the
rotating tool attachment and allow the device
to run for 1 min. at the maximum speed. Dam-
aged tool attachments usually break during this
test period.
b) The permissible rotational speed for tool at-
tachments must be at least as high as the
maximum speed cited on the electric tool. Ac-
cessories which rotate faster than the maximum
permissible rate can break and throw pieces into
the air.
c) Never grind on the side surfaces of the grind-
ing disc. Grinding on the side surfaces can cause
the grinding disc to break and fall apart.
m Device-specific safety instructions for bench
grinders
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged or cut
during operation. Immediately disconnect the mains
plug and then have the device repaired exclusively
by a specialist or the responsible service centre.
• Do not operate the device when it is damp or in a
damp environment.
• When working outdoors, connect the device via a
residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trig-
ger current of 30 mA. Only use an extension cable
approved for outdoor use.
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket immediately in
the event of danger.
• Always guide the mains cable backwards away from
the device.
• Fire hazard due to flying sparks! Flying sparks
occur when grinding metals. Therefore, make ab-
solutely sure that no persons are endangered and
that there are no flammable materials near the work
area.
m Warning! Toxic vapours!
Processing harmful/toxic dusts poses a health risk to
the operator and anyone in the vicinity.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection,
dust protection mask and protective gloves.
Danger of burning!
The workpiece becomes hot during grinding. Never
touch it to the area to be machined and let it cool down
sufficiently. Particularly when sanding for a longer pe-
riod of time, always interrupt the grinding process and
allow the workpiece to cool down before you continue
grinding. A continuous operation of 30 minutes should
not be exceeded.
• The double grinding machine is designed for dry
surface grinding of metal surfaces. The device may
only be used for dry grinding.
• Do not machine material containing asbestos. As-
bestos is considered carcinogenic. Do not use dam-
aged grinding discs.
• Only use grinding discs whose data match the ma-
chine's type plate. The orbital velocity should be
equal to or greater than the specified number.
• Periodically readjust the protective holders (spark
deflectors) and protective panels so that the wear of
the grinding discs is evened out. Keep the distance
as low as possible.
• Avoid contact with the running grinding disc.
• Do not operate the device unattended.
• Never misuse the device.
• Always make sure that the device is switched off be-
fore inserting the mains plug into the socket.
• Always switch on the device first and then guide the
workpiece against the grinding disc. After machin-
ing, lift the workpiece and then switch off the device.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with both hands.
• Make sure that you have a secure footing.
• Allow the grinding disc(s) to come to a complete stop
after working on metals.
• Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket
during breaks in work, before carrying out any work
on the device and when it is not in use.
• Handle the device with care and attention. The device
must always be clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
• Remain attentive at all times! Always pay attention to
what you are doing and always use common sense.
Never use the device when you are not concentrated
or feel unwell.
• Grinding discs must be stored in such a way that
they are not exposed to mechanical damage and
damaging environmental influences.
• Do not use defective or deformed grinding discs.
• Check the setting of the spark protection frequently
and adjust it according to the wear of the grinding
disc. Keep the distance between the spark protec-
tion and the grinding disc as small as possible (not
more than 2 mm).
