1.11 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.
CAUTION!
Change the position of the protective cover for the cleaning
brush only when the grinding machine is not in operation.
Avoid any unsafe work methods:
 The instructions mentioned in these operating instruc-
tions have to be strictly observed during assembly, oper-
ation, maintenance and repair.

Use protective glasses!

When working with the cleaning brush, also wear a
face shield and, if necessary, a leather apron.
 Do not work on the grinding machine, if your concentra-
tion 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 hair-
net.
 Make sure that your operation does not create a safety
hazard.
1.12 Disconnecting and securing the grinding
machine
Switch off the machine with the main switch and lock it so it
cannot be activated by unauthorised personnel or switched on by
accident.
All machine parts as well as all dangerous voltages are
switched off. Excepted are only the positions which are marked
with the adjoining pictogram.

1.13 Using lifting equipment

WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension gear that
might break under load can cause severe injuries or even
death.
Check that the lifting and load suspension gear has sufficient
load capacity and that it is in perfect condition.
Observe the accident prevention regulations issued by your
Employers Liability Insurance Association or other competent
supervisory authority, responsible for your company.
Fasten the loads properly. Never walk under suspended
loads!

2.1.1 Noise
The average sound pressure level of the grinding machines is 87
to 90 dB(A) when grinding wheels are used under load. For
cleaning brushes and polishing wheels in the range 82 to 84
dB(A).
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 precaution measures are required or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise
exposure of the operator:
 Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping
behaviour,
 other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
 other processes taking place in proximity and the period
of time, during which the operator is exposed to the
noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level
might be different from country to country due to national
regulations. This information about the noise emission should,
however, allow the operator of the machine to more easily
evaluate the hazards and risks.
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic
threshold values, machine operators must wear appropriate
hearing protectors. We generally recommend the use of noise
and ear protection.
