▪ Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away
from the surface to be cut.
▪ Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another
kind of protection like for example an apron or helmet.
▪ Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
▪ Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product
and when they are required.
▪ If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
▪ For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the
wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
▪ Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it
should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
▪ Though poor conditions of the electrical mains, shortly voltage drops can appear when
starting the equipment. This can influence other equipment (eq. blinking of a lamp). If the
mains-impedance Zmax <0.348 Ohm, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of
need, you may contact your local supply authority for further information.
