Special safety information

1. Before you use the grinder, carry out a ring test on the grinding wheels (perfect grinding wheels emit a clear tone when hit lightly with e.g. a plastic hammer). This also applies when you fit new grinding wheels (damage in transit). It is essential to subject the machine to an unloaded test run of at least 5 minutes. Leave the danger zone while the test is in progress.

2. Use only grinding wheels which are marked with details of the manufacturer, the type of bonding agent used, dimensions and the permissible
   RPM.

3. Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry place, ideally at a constant temperature.

4. Use only the clamping flanges supplied with the equipment to mount the grinding wheels.

5. Use only clamping flanges of identical size and identical shape to mount the grinding wheels.
   The intermediate layers between the clamping flange and the grinding wheel must be comprised of elastic materials, e.g. rubber, soft cardboard, etc.

6. Never enlarge a grinding wheels’ mounting hole by subsequent drilling.

7. The workpiece supports and the top adjustable safety guards must always be moved as close as possible to the grinding wheel (max. 2 mm clearance).

8. Grinding wheels are not allowed to be used without the safety device. The following clearances must not be exceeded:

   • Workpiece support/grinding wheel: max. 2 mm
   • Safety guard/grinding wheel: max. 2 mm

9. The guard holder, workpiece support and transparent guard must be fitted before the double grinder is used.

10. The power plug must be pulled out before changing the grinding wheel.

11. The max. circumferential speed of the dry grinding wheel is: 23 m/s m/s = (d x 3.14 x n) / (60 x 1000)
    d = diameter of the grinding wheel in mm
    n = motor revolutions per minute

12. Max. permitted motor housing temperature:
    80°C

13. Before starting work, firmly screw the grinder to the workbench by using the 2 mounting points
    on the base plate.

14. Adjust the spark deflector periodically in order to compensate the wear of the wheel. Please note that the distance between the spark deflector and the wheel is to be kept as small as possible and should in no case exceed 2 mm.

15. The grinding wheel must be replaced at the latest when the spark deflector and the workpiece support can no longer be set a maximum distance of 2 mm from the grinding wheel.

16. Process only work pieces, which can be held in position safely. Processing very small work pieces will increase the risk injuries. Longer work pieces must be supported by using a roller stand (optional equipment) or the like.
