MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Ensure that power tools are disconnected
from the mains supply when not in use,
before servicing, cleaning or making ad-
justments and when changing accesso-
ries.
2. Always use the correct type of grinding
wheel for the type of operation to be car-
ried out and the material being machined.
Do not use a grinding wheel as a cutting
disc.
3. 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 in-
jury to the operator and bystanders and
damage to the machine.
4. Do not use grinding wheels that are larger
than specified, only use grinding wheels
that are rated for the machine. The rota-
tional speed shown on the grinding wheel
should always be HIGHER than the rota-
tional speed of the machine.
5. Use only grinding wheels that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Always fit
the blotter or paper washers on either side
of the grinding wheel.
6. 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.
7. Do not over tighten (over tightening can
crack a grinding wheel).
8. Do not attempt to modify the machine or
its accessories in any way.
9. Do not use excessive force on the grinding
wheel.
10. Only use gradual pressure as this will re-
duce the wear on the bench grinder and
grinding wheels and increase its efficiency
and operating life.
11. Use approved safety glasses or goggles,
face mask and if being used for an ex-
tended period wear ear defenders.
12. Do not start the machine with the work
piece in contact with the grinding wheel

or before checking the position of the tool
rest.
13. Never apply the work piece to the side of
the grinding wheel, this could cause the
grinding wheel to shatter.
14. Keep guards in place and in good working
order.
15. With the machine disconnected from the
mains supply check that the guards are
secure and fitted correctly.
16. Always keep the tool rest as close to the
grinding wheel as possible. The gap be-
tween the tool rest and the grinding wheel
should be no more than 3mm.
17. Do not attempt to grind objects that are
too small to hold safely.
18. Do not use the work piece to slow down
the grinding wheel once the machine has
been switched off.
19. Warning! Do not use Bench Grinders in
areas where there is a risk of explosion
or fire from combustible materials, flam-
mable liquids, paint, varnish, petrol etc.
flammable gases and dust of an explosive
nature.
20. As a precaution it is recommended that
you consult an expert on a suitable fire ex-
tinguisher and its use. The metal particles
(sparks) which are produced during grind-
ing are hot and could ignite any combusti-
ble material in the vicinity of the operation.
21. Never use the tool without the PRCD deliv-
ered with the tool.
22. In case of any malfunction during the op-
eration, switch off and unplug the tool im-
mediately.
23. In case of a blockage, make sure to put
on protecting gloves before clearing the
blockage or dismounting the tool for the
clearance (see "Replacing grinding wheel"
and "Replacing wet grinding wheel").
