Safety Advice Relating Specifically To Bench Grinders - Scheppach 5903108901 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Safety advice relating specifically to bench
grinders
• Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes dam-
aged or cut through while you are using the device.
Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately
and have the device repaired by a suitably quali-
fied person or at your service centre.
• Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not
use it in a damp environment.
• If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an ex-
tension lead, always use one that is approved for
outdoor use.
• If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug
immediately out of the mains socket.
• Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.
• Danger of fire from flying sparks ! Grinding metal
creates flying sparks. For this reason, always make
sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that
there are no inflammable materials near the work-
ing area.
• Warning! Noxious fumes! Working with harmful /
noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the
person operating the device and to anyone near
the work area.
• Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, dust
protection mask and protective gloves.
• Danger of burns! The workpiece gets hot during
grinding. Never touch the part you are grinding.
Allow the workpiece to cool sufficiently first. When
grinding for longer periods, stop grinding from time
to time and allow the workpiece to cool before con-
tinuing. Do not operate the device for continuous
periods exceeding 10 minutes.
• The double grinding machine is intended for dry
grinding of the surfaces of metal objects. The de-
vice may only be used for dry grinding.
• Do not grind materials containing asbestos. As-
bestos is a known carcinogen.
• Do not use damaged grinding wheels.
• Only use grinding wheels with details that corre-
spond with those given on the device ratin plate. The
circumferential speed should be equal to or greater
than the value given on the device rating plate.
• Adjust the eye guard mounts (spark deflectors) and
the eye guards periodically so that wear on the
grinding wheels can be evened out. Keep the gap
as small as possible.
• Avoid contact with the moving grinding wheel.
• Never leave the device working unattended.
• Never use the device for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
• Before you insert the mains plug into the socket,
always check that the device is switched off.

• Always switch the device on before bringing the
workpiece into contact with the grinding wheel. Af-
ter grinding, lift off the workpiece before switching
the device off.
• Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands at all
times when working.
• Always keep proper footing and balance.
• After you have finished grinding metal, allow the
grinding wheel(s) to come to a standstill.
• When taking a break from your work, before car-
rying out any tasks on the device itself and when
you are not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
• Handle the device carefully and treat it with re-
spect. Always keep the device clean, dry and free
of oil or grease.
• Remain alert at all times! Always watch what you
are doing and proceed with caution. Do not use
the device if you cannot concentrate or you are
feeling unwell.
• Store grinding wheels in such a way that they are
not subject to mechanical loads or damaging en-
vironmental influences.
• Do not use damaged or unshaped wheels.
• The adjustment of the spark guard shall be made
frequently, so as to compensate the wear of the
wheel, keeping the distance between the guard
and the wheel as small as possible, and no greater
than 2 mm.
• The adjustment of the work rest shall be made
frequently, so as to compensate the wear of the
wheel, keeping the distance between the work rest
and the wheel as small as possible, and no greater
than 2 mm.
• Use wheels that have a bore exactly equal to the
arbor of the grinder. Do not attempt to machine an
undersized wheel to fit an arbor.
• Do not overtighten wheel nut.
• Do not grind on a cold wheel. The grinding wheel
should be started and run at idle speed for one
minute before applying the work.
• Do not grind on the side of the wheel. Grind on the
face of the wheel only.
• Do not apply coolant directly to a grinding wheel.
Coolant can weaken the bonding strentgh of the
wheel and cause it to fail.
• Sparks are a hazard. Do not grind near gas or
flammable liquids.
• Stand to one side of the wheel when turning on the
power. Dress the wheel on the face only. Dressing
the side of the wheel can cause it to become too
thin for safe use.
• Grinding creates heat. Do not touch the work piece
until you are sure it has cooled down sufficiently.
• Use grinding wheels that are rated for safe use on
the grinder. Do not use a wheel that is rated lower
than the grinder speed.
