1.3

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described
use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
Operators must be qualified.

1.3.1 Avoiding misuse


The direction of rotation of the belt grinder must be in the direction of the contact surface or
the stop. If the phase sequence is not used correctly, it is possible to operate the belt
grinder in the wrong direction of rotation.
Pay attention to the current direction of rotation of the belt grinder to prevent the spin-up of
workpieces at the start of grinding.
We expressly point out that the guarantee will expire, if any constructive, technical or proce-
dural changes are not performed by the company Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by flying workpieces. Injuries caused by sharp-edged workpieces.
Injuries caused by hot workpieces. Wear protective gloves and goggles. For certain
materials it may be necessary to wear face protection instead of safety glasses.
Make sure that the support surface for the workpiece is firmly clamped.
1.4 Dangers that can be caused by the belt grinder
The belt grinder was built using state-of-the-art technology. Nevertheless, there is a residual
risk, as the belt grinder operates with

high speeds,

rotating parts,

a sanding belt,

electrical voltage and currents.
We have used design and safety engineering to minimize the health risk to personnel resulting
from these hazards.
If the belt grinder is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may be
a risk resulting from its incorrect or unsuitable maintenance.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must

be duly qualified,
