Safety instructions for grinders

Hold the tool by insulated surfaces as The grinding surface may touch the power cord of the tool. Cutting a live cord may charge metal parts of the power tool and result in an electric shock.
Use power tools for dry sanding only. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Bring the power tool to the workpiece only when it is switched on and immediately switch it off by removing the workpiece.The power tool may be suddenly moved
Wear protective gloves and never touch the moving sanding belt.There is a risk of injury.
Do not expose others to danger from flying sparks. Remove nearby flammable materials. Sparks fly out when grinding metals.
Do not use worn, torn or badly damaged sanding belts. Damaged sanding belts can break, fly out and cause injur.y
aution: risk of fire! Avoid overheating of the sanding surface and the sander. Always empty the dust container before breaks from work. Sanding dust accumulated in a dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or filter bag/vacuum cleaner) can ignite spontaneously under unfavorable conditions, e.g. from a spark when grinding metals.A particular hazard occurs when sanding dust is mixed with residues of varnish, polyurethane or other chemicals, and the sanding surface becomes hot from prolonged work.
Clean the ventilation slots on the power tool regularly. The motor fan draws dust into the housing, and large accumulations of metal dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Secure the workpiece. The workpiece, mounted in a clamping device or in a vice, is held more securely than in your hand.

Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for grinding. Generally, when sanding, coarse grit removesmost of the material, while fine grit provides the best finish. The condition of the sanding surface determines which grit is suitable for the best performance. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is smooth. Then use the middle grit to remove scratches left by coarser grit. Finally, use finer abrasive for surface finishing. When sanding, always reduce the grit size of the abrasive until the surface of the material being processed is uniform.
