1.3
Possible dangers caused by the grinder
The grinder has undergone a safety inspection (analysis of danger with assessment of risks).
Design and construction based on this analysis were carried out with the latest technological
advances.
Nonetheless, there remains a residual risk, given that the grinder features
•
high revolutions,
•
rotating parts
•
grinding wheels (emission of sparks)
•
electrical voltage and currents.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimise the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the grinder is used by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may be a risk resulting from
incorrect operation or unsuitable maintenance.
INFORMATION
All personnel involved in assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
•
be duly qualified,
•
follow this instruction manual.
In the event of improper use
•
there may be a risk to personnel,
•
there may be a risk to the machine and other items,
•
correct functioning of the grinder may be affected.
Disconnect the machine whenever cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out.
WARNING!
“Safety
devices“ on
page 8
The grinder may only be used with the safety devices activated.
Disconnect the grinder immediately if a failure is detected in the safety devices!
All additional installations carried out by the operator must incorporate the prescribed

Qualification of personnel
1.4.1
Target group
This manual is addressed to
•
operators
•
users
•
maintenance staff.
The warning notes therefore refer to both operation and maintenance of the bench grinder.
Determine clearly and unequivocally who will be responsible for the different activities on the
machine (use, maintenance and repair).
Vague or unclear assignment of responsibilities constitutes a safety hazard!
Always disconnect the grinder plug from the mains. This will prevent it being used by unauthor-
ised personnel.
