SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Extreme Caution Required
Extreme care should be taken when sanding paint. The dust
residue may contain LEAD which is poisonous. Any pre 1960
building may have paint containing lead on wood or metal
surfaces which has been covered with additional layers of
paint.
STOP!
If you suspect that paint on surfaces in your house contains lead
seek professional advice.
Lead based paints should only be removed by a professional
and should not be removed using this product. Once deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of
lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible
brain and nervous system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
WARNING!
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium
Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be hazardous to
your health. We recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to
using the dust extraction facility.
Ensure that power tools are disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters.
Always use the correct type of grinding wheel for the type of
operation to be carried out and the material being machined.
Do not use a grinding wheel as a cutting disc.
Only use grinding wheels that are in good condition. This will
improve grinding and reduce the load on the Machine ensuring
a longer life of the grinding wheel and the machine.
Never use damaged grinding wheels. Grinding wheels that are
cracked, chipped or worn could shatter causing injury to the
operator and bystanders and damage to the machine.
Do not use grinding wheels that are larger than specified,
only use grinding wheels that are rated for the machine. The
rotational speed shown on the grinding wheel should always
be HIGHER than the rotational speed of the Machine. Use only
grinding wheels that are recommended by the manufacturer.
Always fit the blotter or paper washers on either side of the
grinding wheel.
When fitting a new wheel ensure blotters are in place, fit
concave side of washers to face the wheel and tighten the lock
nut firmly.
Do not Over tighten (over tightening can crack a grinding
wheel).
Do not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any
way.
Do not use excessive force on the grinding wheel. Only use
gradual pressure as this will reduce the wear on the bench
grinder and grinding wheels and increase its efficiency and
operating life.
Use approved safety glasses or goggles, face mask and if being
used for an extended period wear ear defenders.
Do not start the machine with the work piece in contact with the
grinding wheel or before checking the position of the tool rest.
Never apply the work piece to the side of the grinding wheel, this
could cause the grinding wheel to shatter.
Keep Guards in place and in good working order. With the
machine disconnected from the mains supply check that the
guards are secure and fitted correctly.
Always keep the tool rest as close to the grinding wheel as
possible. The gap between the tool rest and the grinding wheel
should be no more than 3mm.
Do not attempt to grind objects that are too small to hold safely.
Do not use the work piece to slow down the grinding wheel once
the machine has been switched off.
Replace linishing belts as soon as they become worn or torn. A
torn belt could snatch the work piece from your hands causing
injury.
WARNING!
Do not use Bench Grinders in areas where there is a risk of
explosion or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids,
paint, varnish, petrol etc. flammable gases and dust of an
explosive nature. As a precaution it is recommended that you
consult an expert on a suitable fire extinguisher and its use.
The metal particles (Sparks) which are produced during grinding
are hot and could ignite any combustible material in the vicinity
of the operation.
