Hazards caused by flying parts
■
If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the
machine tool itself breaks, parts can be flung
out at high speeds.
■
Always wear shock-resistant eye protection when
operating the grinding machine for abrasive
media. The degree of necessary protection must
be evaluated separately for each individual
task.
■
You must ensure that the workpiece has been
securely fixed.
■
You must ensure that the abrasive media has
been safely attached to the grinding machine
for abrasive media.
■
You must ensure that the maximum operating
rotational speed of the abrasive media calcu-
lated in revolutions per minute is the same as
or higher than the rated spindle speed.
■
Ensure that the protective guard has been fitted,
that it is in good condition and properly fixed,
and that it is regularly checked.
■
It is possible that no protective guard is required
during internal grinding under the condition that
the workpiece encloses the abrasive media.
■
You must ensure that the clamping flange is be-
ing used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and that it is in good condition, i.e.
without cracks and flaws, and that it is flat.
■
You must check to see whether the spindle and
spindle thread have become damaged or worn.
■
You must ensure that any sparks or ashes
produced during operation do not cause any
hazards.
■
Always disconnect the grinding machine from
the power supply before replacing the abrasive
media or servicing it.

Hazards caused by entanglement
■
Suffocation, scalping and/or cut wounds can
occur if loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces, hair
or gloves are not kept away from the machine
and its accessories.
Hazards during operation
■
Avoid contact with the rotating spindle and the
fitted grinding disc in order to avoid cuts to the
hands and other body parts.
■
When using the machine, the operator's hands
can be subject to hazards such as cuts, grazing
and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect your
hands.
■
The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of handling the size, mass
and power of the machine.
■
Hold the machine correctly:
Be ready to counteract any normal or suddenly
occurring movements. Keep both hands ready
for use.
■
Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have a secure standing position.
■
Release the start/stop control if there is a disrup-
tion to the power supply.
■
Use only the recommended lubricants.
■
Safety goggles must be worn; wearing of protec-
tive gloves and safety clothing is recommended.
■
Wear a safety helmet if working above head
height.
■
Do not put the machine down after switching
off until the disc has stopped rotating.
■
When abrasive cutting, the workpiece must be
supported so that the cutting slot has a constant
or increasing width during the entire cutting
process.
■
If the abrasive media jams in the cutting slot, the
grinding machine for abrasive media must be
turned off and the grinding disc must be loos-
ened. Before continuing operation, check that
the abrasive media is still properly fixed and
has not been damaged.
