2. Operator’s guide
2.1 Operation
After adjustment and connection of the grinding machine it is ready for use. Lead the work
piece to the grinding wheel with a firm and level pressure to avoid destroying the grinding
wheel and overloading the motor. Avoid excessive pressure or uneven grinding. Let the
machine run at max speed before start grinding. Grind at max speed if possible. Clamp
the work piece if possible as this is safer than holding the work piece in your hands.
Avoid grinding on the side of the grinding wheel unless you grind on a cup wheel.
Do not stop the rotation of the grinding wheel by pressing the work piece against it. Let the
grinding wheel stop by itself. It is important to have the work place well-lighted.
2.2 Safety rules for stationary power tools.
Follow them to achieve best results and full benefit from your new
machine
The very good craftsman respects the tools with
which he works. He knows they represent years
of constantly improved design. He also knows
that they are dangerous if misused.
This is the theme of a new safe-use program for
stationary power tools. The safety rules are
based on approved practices in industrial and
home shops.
1. Know your power tool. Read
the owner’s manual carefully.
Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards
peculiar to this tool.
2. Keep guard in place
and in working order.
3. Ground all tools. If tool is equipped
with three-prong plug, it should be
plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to
accomodate a two-prong receptacle,
the adapter wire must be attached to
a known ground. Never remove the
third prong.
4. Remove adjusting keys
and wrenches. Form habit of
checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches is
removed before turning it on.
5. Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
6. Avoid dangerous
environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to
rain. Keep your work area
well lighted.
7. Keep children away. All
visitors should be kept in a
safe distance from work
area.
8. Make workshop kidproof with
padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
