serious injury. Pneumatic tools may only be installed, adjusted
and assembled by qualifi ed and trained personnel. Do not
modify the pneumatic tool. Modifi cations can reduce effi ciency
and safety and increase the risk for the tool operator. Do not
throw away the safety instructions, they should be handed
over to the tool operator. Do not use the pneumatic tool if it
is damaged. The tool must be periodically inspected for the
visibility of information required by the ISO 11148 standard. The
employer/user should contact the manufacturer to replace the
nameplate whenever necessary.
Hazards connected with ejected parts
Damage to the workpiece, accessories or even to the inserted
tool can result in parts being ejected at high speeds. Always use
impact-resistant eye protection. The degree of protection must
be selected according to the works carried out. Make sure that
the workpiece is securely clamped. Make sure that the wheel is
securely attached to the grinder. Check whether the maximum
speed of the grinding wheel, expressed in RPM, is equal to or
higher than the rated speed of the spindle. Make sure that the
grinding wheel guard is in place, in good condition and properly
mounted. Make sure that the grinding wheel guard is checked
regularly. Regularly check whether the speed of the grinder is
not higher than its rated speed. The test should be carried out
without the mounted grinding wheel and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Check whether the grinding
wheel fi xing fl anges specifi ed by the manufacturer have been
used and are in good condition, e.g. free from cracks, burrs
and fl at. Check whether the spindle and the spindle thread
are not damaged or worn. Make sure that sparks and waste
generated during operation are not hazardous. Disconnect the
grinder from the power source before replacing or repairing the
grinding wheel.
Hazards connected with entanglement
The Hazards connected with entanglement may cause choking,
scalping and/or cutting if loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces,
hair or gloves are not kept away from the tool or accessories.
Hazards connected with work
Avoid contact with the rotating spindle and the mounted
grinding wheel to prevent cutting of hands and other body
parts. Using the tool can expose the operator's hands to
hazards such as crushing, impact, cutting, abrasion and heat.
Wear suitable gloves to protect your hands. The operator and
the maintenance personnel should be physically able to cope
with the quantity, weight and power of the tool. Hold the tool
correctly. Be prepared to withstand normal or unexpected
movements and always keep both hands at the ready. Keep
your feet in balance and in a safe position. The pressure on
the start and stop device should be released in the event of
a power failure. Use only the lubricants recommended by
the manufacturer. Protective goggles must be worn, and we
recommend wearing suitable gloves and protective clothing.
If working above the head, wear a protective helmet. When
the movement of the grinding wheel stops, hold the grinding
wheel all the time in such a position that it does not come into
contact with any object. The grinder can only be set down
when the wheel has come to a complete standstill. During
cutting, the workpiece should be supported in such a way
that the cutting gap is maintained at a constant or increasing
O R I G I N A L
GB
width until the cutting is completed. If the grinding wheel is
jammed in the cutting gap, switch off the grinder and then
release the grinding wheel. Before continuing to work, check
whether the grinding wheel is still correctly mounted and has
not been damaged. Grinding and cutting wheels should not be
used for lateral grinding. (Exception: grinding wheels designed
for lateral grinding.) Grinders must not be used beyond the
maximum peripheral speed of the grinding wheel. The operator
must ensure that there are no unauthorised persons in the
workplace area. Wear personal protective equipment such as:
fi tted gloves, apron and a helmet. Sparks from work can ignite
clothing and cause severe burns. Make sure the sparks do not
fall onto the clothing. Wear fi reproof clothing and keep a bucket
of water near you.
Hazards connected with repetitive movements
When using a pneumatic tool for work entailing repetitive
movements, the operator is exposed to the discomfort of hands,
arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the body. When using a
pneumatic tool, the operator should take a comfortable posture
to ensure the feet are correctly positioned and avoid strange or
unbalanced postures. The operator should change the posture
over a long period of time to avoid discomfort and fatigue. If the
operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or repeated
discomfort, pain, pulsating pain, tingling, numbness, burning
or stiff ness, the operator is required to report the symptoms to
the doctor. The operator should not ignore them, should tell the
employer about it and consult a doctor.
Hazards connected with accessories
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before replacing the
inserted tool or accessory. Use accessories and consumables
only in the sizes and types recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use other types or sizes of accessories. Make sure that
the dimensions of the grinding wheel are compatible with those
of the grinder and that the grinding wheel fi ts the spindle of the
grinder. Make sure that the type and size of the grinding wheel
thread matches the type and size of the spindle thread. Check
the grinding wheel before use. Do not use grinding wheels
which have (presumably) been dropped or are broken, have
chipped fragments, are cracked or are otherwise damaged.
Before use, check that the grinding wheel has been correctly
mounted and tightened. Start the unloaded grinder for 1 minute
in a safe position. Stop it immediately if excessive vibration
or other faults are observed, then investigate the cause of
the fault. Prevent the spindle tip from touching the bottom of
the bowls, cones or pivots with threaded holes intended for
attachment to machine spindles by checking their size and
other data. If adapters or reducing sleeves are supplied with
the grinding wheel, the user must ensure that the adapter or
the sleeve does not come into contact with the face of the fi xing
fl ange and that the fi xing forces are suffi cient to prevent the
wheel from slipping during rotation. If the fi xing fl anges are
supplied in several types or sizes, always match the correct
fl ange(s) to the grinding wheel used. Avoid direct contact with
the inserted tool during and right after work, as it can be hot or
sharp. Store and handle the grinding wheels with care taken in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Hazards connected with the workplace
Slips, stumbles and falls are the main causes of injury. Beware
