SAFETY
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
• Check the following:
• Does the voltage rating of the bench grinder correspond to the power supply?
• Is an earthed mains power socket available?
• Are the power cord and plug in good condition (solid, without fraying or other damage)?
• Avoid the use of long extension cords. The extension cords you use must always be earthed.
• A grinding wheel is a brittle toolpiece. The stone is not resistant to knocks. Always grind on the front edge of
the grinding wheel, and never on the side of the grinding wheel. Never fi t a cracked grinding wheel. Replace
it immediately, as the high rotational speed could cause the stone to fl y apart, causing a serious accident.
• Always wear safety glasses when grinding.
• Never grind without the cover fi tted over the grinding wheel.
• Always fi t the grinding wheel cover and tool rest tightly, and with the correct clearance.
• Never allow more than 1-1.5 mm clearance between tool rest and grinding wheel.
• Only use the grinding wheel for the work it was designed for (for example sharpening tools), and NOT for
heavy construction work. The following information must be available, before you fi t any new grinding wheel:
• Details about the manufacturer.
• Binding material.
• Dimensions.
• Permissible rotational speed.
• Never ream out the hole in a grinding wheel to a larger diameter.
• The maximum rotational speed of the grinding wheel should never be allowed to exceed the maximum speed
given for the wheel.
• Never use any grinding wheel that is damaged or deformed.
• In order to be able to grind safely, the machine must be fi rmly bolted to a workbench.
• Check that the switch is NOT in the 'ON/I' position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
• Always keep the power cord out of the way of the tool's moving parts.
• The grinder must be fi rmly bolted to a workbench. The length of the fi xing bolts will depend on the thickness
of the workbench. If the workbench is made of steel, it is advisable to use a wooden block or plank between
the grinder and the bench, to insulate it and prevent vibration. Immediately switch off the machine whenever:
• The plug or power cord is defective or damaged.
•The switch is defective.
• You smell smoke or burning insulation.
When replacing power cords or plugs
Immediately dispose of old plugs as soon as they are replaced with new ones. It is dangerous to plug a loose
power cord into the mains power supply.
When using extension cords
• The grinder is fitted with a triple-core power cord and an earthed mains plug. Therefore always use a mains
power socket that is also earthed. Should you need an extension cord, always use a triple-core extension with
earthed plug and socket.
• The cores should have a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm2.
