When grinding, tilt down the spark guard 9
as far as possible. Sparking occurs when
grinding metal.
Regularly check the clearance between the
workpiece support 10 as well as the holder
of the spark guard 8 to the grinding wheel,
and readjust as required. The clearance to
the grinding wheel may not exceed 2 mm.
When the clearance is larger, you are not suf-
ficiently protected against sparking. The
workpiece can be drawn in by the rotational
motion of the grinding wheel and lead to in-
juries.
Guide the workpiece only against the
switched-on machine and do not switch the
machine off until after having removed the
workpiece. The workpiece can move sudden-
ly.
Never apply the workpiece laterally against
the rotating grinding wheel, and always
grind from the front. The workpiece can be
drawn out of your hand through the rotation-
al motion of the grinding wheel and lead to
injuries.
Never reach into the running grinding wheel
of the machine. This can lead to serious inju-
ries.
Do not stop coasting grinding wheels by ap-
plying lateral pressure to them. The work-
piece can be drawn out of your hand through
the rotational motion of the grinding wheel
and lead to injuries.
Wear a work apron. Pay attention that other
persons are not put at risk from sparking.
Remove flammable materials in close vicini-
ty. Sparking occurs when cutting metal.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
