• Do not allow the fastening flanges to contact a workpiece in case of deep cuts (e.g. sections, building
blocks, bricks, etc.).
Cut-off wheels reach high temperatures during operation. It cannot be touched with uncovered
body parts, before they cool down.
GRINDING
Grinding wheel, cup-type grinding wheels, flap wheels, wheels with abrasive fibre, wire brushes and flexible
discs, etc. should be used for grinding. Each type of discs and workpiece requires proper working method
and personal protective equipment.
Cut-off wheels should not be used for grinding.
Grinding discs are intended for removal of material with an edge of the disc.
• Do not use the lateral surface for grinding. The optimum working angle for this disc type is 30° (fig.
H).
• Works related to grinding can be performed only, when proper grinding discs are used for a given
workpiece.
When flap wheels, discs with abrasive fibre and flexible discs for sandpaper are used, attention
should be paid to the proper tool angle (fig. I).
• Do not grind with the entire surface of a wheel.
• This disc type should be used for working flat surfaces.
Wire brushes are mainly used for cleaning sections and hard-to-reach spaces. They can be used to
remove rust, painting coats, etc. from a workpiece surface (fig. K).
Only such working tools can be used, whose permissible rotational speed is higher or equal to the
maximum no load speed of the grinder.
Before any operations related to installation, adjustment, repairs or maintenance are commenced,
the plug of the power cord should be disconnected from the socket.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
