Safety advice relating specifically to bench
grinders
• Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes dam-
aged or cut through while you are using the device.
Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately
and have the device repaired by a suitably quali-
fied person or at your service centre.
• Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not
use it in a damp environment.
• If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA.If using an exten-
sion lead, always use one that is approved for out-
door use.
• If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug
immediately out of the mains socket.
• Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.
• Dang er of fire from flying sparks !
Grinding metal creates flying sparks. For this rea-

GB
son, always make sure that nobody is placed in any
danger and that there are no inflammable materials
near the working area.
mWarning! Noxious fumes!
Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents a
risk to the health of the person operating the device
and to anyone near the work area.
• Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, dust
protection mask and protective gloves.
• Dang er of burns! The workpiece gets hot during
grinding. Never touch the part you are grinding. Al-
low the workpiece to cool sufficiently first. When
grinding for longer periods, stop grinding from time
to time and allow the workpiece to cool before con-
tinuing. Do not operate the device for continuous
periods exceeding 10 minutes.
• The double grinding machine is intended for dry
grinding of the surfaces of metal objects. The de-
vice may only be used for dry grinding.
• Do not grind materials containing asbestos. As-
bestos is a known carcinogen.
• Do not use damaged grinding wheels.
• Only use grinding wheels with details that corr
spond with those given on the device ratin plate.
The circumferential speed should be equal to or
greater than the value given on the device rating
plate.
• Adjust the eye guard mounts (spark deflectors) and
the eye guards periodically so that wear on the
grinding wheels can be evened out. Keep the gap
as small as possible.
• Avoid contact with the moving grinding wheel.
• Never leave the device working unattended.
• Never use the device for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
• Before you insert the mains plug into the socket,
always check that the device is switched off.
• Always switch the device on before bringing the
workpiece into contact with the grinding wheel. Af-
ter grinding, lift off the workpiece before switching
the device off.
• Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands at all
times when working.
• Always keep proper footing and balance.
• After you have finished grinding metal, allow the
grinding wheel(s) to come to a standstill.
• When taking a break from your work, before car-
rying out any tasks on the device itself and when
you are not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
• Handle the device carefully and treat it with re-
spect. Always keep the device clean, dry and free
of oil or grease.
• Remain alert at all times! Always watch what you
are doing and proceed with caution. Do not use
the device if you cannot concentrate or you are
feeling unwell.
• Store grinding wheels in such a way that they are
not subject to mechanical loads or damaging en-
vironmental influences.
• Do not use damaged or unshaped wheels.
