HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE

When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury. Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Beware of electric shock. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and route it away from danger.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to
what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.

INSPECTION: Each time after mounting, the abrasive/superabrasive wheel shall be test run for a reasonable time. The specified maximum operating speed of the wheel shall not be exceeded. Damage abrasives shall be destroyed. Always wear approved safety goggles.

B, C, D (FIG.3):
For cutting applications, and to comply to current legislation, it is necessary to replace the “grinding” guard supplied with this machine with a “cutting” guard (Draper Stock No.19083) and must be fitted for your safety.

SETTING THE GRINDER

FITTING GRINDING DISCS – FIG. 4

Press and hold the spindle lock button (1). Loosen the locking flange (8) anti-clockwise using the pin spanner supplied. The spindle may rotate slightly before the spindle lock fully engages. Remove the locking flange only. Clean the flanges and spindle prior to fitting any accessory. If the rear flange is removed for cleaning, ensure it locates correctly on the spindle flats when refitting and does not spin freely. When fitting the appropriate accessory please refer to (Fig.3) for specific details on the locking flange correct orientation as applicable.
Securely tighten the locking flange clockwise using the pin spanner while holding down the spindle lock(1).
NOTE: When using wire cup brushes the locking flange is not required due to the design of the brushes. When fitted check the accessory is correct and, importantly fully secure on the spindle.
WARNING: Never press the spindle lock button (1) while the spindle is in motion.

ON/OFF SWITCH – FIG. 5

Push switch (2) forward to start the grinder, the back of switch lifts and locks in position. To stop the grinder push the back half of switch (2) down to release the lock.
To prevent accidental starting, ensure the switch lock is disengaged prior to connection to the power supply.
WARNING: Do not set the machine down until the spindle has completely stopped.
NOTE: During use, keep clothing out of the line of any sparks formed. Sparks from metal grinding can set fire to many types of clothing after a short time. The risk is less if your outer clothing is made of flame retardant treated cotton.
DUST: A correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for the activity and in accordance to the relevant standard, must be worn.
WARNING: An angle grinder is a noisy powertool. We strongly recommend that ear protection is worn.

GRINDING – FIG. 6

When performing grinding operations maintain an angle of approximately 30° between the work surface and the disc face.Only use abrasives specifically designed for this task.

CUTTING – FIG. 7

Cutting operations should only be attempted with the “cutting” guard fitted to this grinder. Please contact Draper Tools for further information on how to purchase this optional accessory.
This guard must be fitted for your safety. When performing cutting-off operations do not incline the machine as this can lead to the abrasive wheel becoming jammed, damaged or excessively and abnormally worn. Only use abrasives specifically designed for this task.

WARNING: As the cutting-off/grinding wheel wears during use, its diameter reduces. This reduces the peripheral speed and the cutting efficiency. This results in increased load on the grinding machine which if continued will damage the motor. Ensure that the diameter of the wheel is within 25% of its original size.

IMPORTANT: Excessive pressure on the machine does not result in a higher abrasive efficiency. Excessive pressure increases wear and tear on the accessory and will damage the grinder which is not covered under the guarantee.
