Safety measures during operation

CAUTION!
Danger due to inhaling dust and mist that are hazardous to health.
Depending on the materials to be machined and the agents used, dusts and mists can
arise that are detrimental to health.
Ensure that the harmful dust and mist generated are safely sucked off at the point of
origin and routed away from the working area or filtered.
1.8

Safety devices

The grinding machine must only be operated with fully functional safety devices.
Stop the grinding machine immediately if there is a failure on the safety device or becomes inef-
fective.
It is your responsibility!
If a safety device has been activated or has failed, the grinding machine must only be used if
the cause of the fault has been eliminated,

you have verified that there is no danger to personnel or objects.

WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or override a safety device in any other way, you are endangering
yourself and other persons working with the grinding machine. The possible
consequences are:
injuries due to components or workpieces flying off at high speed,

contact with rotating parts,

fatal electrocution.

The grinding machine features the following safety devices:
A spark protection on each grinding wheel.

A protective guard with shaft cover on the grinding wheel.

A support surface for the workpiece.

A brush guard.

WARNING!
Although the isolating safety devices provided and delivered with the machine are
designed to reduce the risks of workpieces being ejected or parts of tools or workpieces
breaking off, they cannot eliminate these risks completely. Always work carefully and
observe the limit values of the grinding process.
1.8.1 Spark-guard and support surface
Adjust the guard to the correct height before you start working. To do so, slacken the clamping
screw, set the required height and re-tighten the clamping screw. Observe the correct distance
to the grinding wheel.
1.9

Safety check

Check the grinding machine regularly.
Check all safety devices
before starting work,

once a week (with the machine in operation) and

after all maintenance and repair work.
