Micro Die Grinder Safety - Beta 1934MAV Bedienungsanleitung

MICRO DIE GRINDER SAFETY

– Check whether the nameplate is readable; if it is not, get a replacement nameplate from the manufacturer.
– The air micro die grinder may stop if:
• It is overloaded.
– If the grinding wheel gets jammed, stop the micro die grinder immediately, keeping it idle until the grinding wheel is fully unlocked.
Do not attempt to pull out the grinding wheel while in operation. Before resuming work, make sure that the grinding wheel has been
fixed properly and is not damaged.
– If the workpiece or the grinding wheel should break, loose parts may be thrown at high speed.
– Pay attention to grinding sparks, which may be potential hazards to exposed things and people. They may set clothes on fire and
cause burns.
– Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the pneumatic tool.
– It is important to be prepared for unexpected movements of the micro die grinder resulting from a jammed or broken wheel.
Maintain a firm grip on the micro die grinder and position your body and arms to allow you to resist such movements.
– Keep your hands away from the grinding wheel: you may hurt yourself.
– Periodically check that the speed of the micro die grinder does not exceed the speed shown.
– Stop the tool in case of air supply failure or low operating pressure. Check the operating pressure; start the tool again when optimal
operating pressure is resumed.
– When using the pneumatic tool, the operator may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, or neck area. Adopting a
comfortable posture and changing posture may help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Caution: If the pneumatic tool is used over a protracted period of time, part of the tool and the cutting accessory may become hot.
Wear suitable protective gloves against physical agents.
Dust and fumes hazards: Depending on the type of material being worked, the fumes generated while operating the pneumatic tool
can cause diseases in humans. An appropriate environmental hygiene survey is required to determine the type and degree of
protection of the personal protective equipment to use for the respiratory tract.
Using the pneumatic tool on the workpiece generates noise, which may prove harmful to the exposed personnel. A proper
phonometric survey is required to determine the personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
If a specially conducted survey suggests that the daily exposure to vibration generated from the pneumatic tool exceeds the limit
value under the regulations in force in the respective country, anti-vibration gloves must be worn.
– If you notice that the skin of your fingers becomes numb, turns white, tingles or hurts, stop working with the pneumatic tool, inform
your employer and seek medical advice.
– Do not make the grinding wheel jump on the workpiece: this may result in significantly increased vibration.
– Hold the pneumatic tool with a secure yet not too firm grip, compliant with the required hand reaction forces.
– Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
