Personal protective equipment

For certain work personal protective equipment is required.
Protect your face and your eyes: Wear a safety helmet with facial protection when perform-

ing work where your face and eyes are exposed to hazards.
Wear protective gloves when handling pieces with sharp edges.
Use safety shoes when you assemble, disassemble or transport heavy components, or

transport the grinding machine.
Use ear protection if the noise level (emission) in the workplace exceeds 80 dB (A).

Before starting work make sure that the required personal protective equipment is available

at the work place.
When working with the cleaning brush, also wear a face shield and, if necessary, a leather

apron.
CAUTION!
Dirty or contaminated personnel protective equipment can cause illness. It must be
cleaned after each use and at least once a week.

For your own safety during operation

WARNING!
Before switching the grinding machine on, make sure that there is no risk of personal
injury or damage to property.
Avoid any unsafe work methods:
The instructions mentioned in these operating instructions have to be strictly observed dur-

ing assembly, operation, maintenance and repair.
Use protective glasses!

Do not work on the grinding machine, if your concentration is reduced, for example,

because you are taking medication.
Stay on the grinding machine until the working spindle has come to a complete standstill.

Use the specified personal protective equipment. Ensure you wear close-fitting clothing

and, if necessary, a hairnet.
Make sure that your operation does not create a safety hazard.

1.12 Disconnecting and securing the grinding machine
Disconnect the mains plug before starting maintenance and repairs.
1.13 Emissions
The generation of noise emitted by the grinding machine is 70 to 80 dB(A). If the grinding
machine is installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise exposure
(immission) on the operator of the grinding machine at the working place may exceed 80 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under the operating conditions specified
by the manufacturer. The noise behaviour of the machine might change depending on the age
and wear of the machine.
Furthermore, the noise emission also depends on production engineering factors, e.g. speed,
material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The specified numerical value represents the emission level and does not necessarily a safe
working level. Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the
degree of the noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precau-
