INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
BATTERY GRINDER SAFETY
- Make sure that the nameplate is readable; get a replacement nameplate from the manufacturer, if need be.
- If the workpiece or the grinding wheel should break, loose parts may be thrown at high speed.
- Pay attention to grinding sparks, which may be potential hazards to exposed things and people, setting clothes on fire and thus
causing burns.
- Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the grinder.
- It is important to be prepared for unexpected movements of the grinder resulting from a jammed or broken cutting wheel.
Maintain a firm grip on the angle grinder and position your body and arms to allow you to resist such movements. These
precautions can prevent injuries.
- Keep your hands away from the grinding wheel: you may hurt yourself.
- Make sure that the direction of rotation of the angle grinder is fit for the grinding wheel being used.
- When using the grinder, the operator may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, or neck area. Adopt a
comfortable posture, avoiding unfavourable positions. Changing posture may help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Caution: if the grinder is used over a protracted period of time, part of the tool and the cutting tool may become hot. Wear
suitable protective gloves against physical agents.
Dust and fumes hazards: depending on the type of material being worked, the fumes generated while operating the
grinder can cause diseases in humans. An appropriate environmental hygiene survey is required to determine the
personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
Using the grinder on the workpiece generates noise, which may prove harmful to the exposed personnel. A proper
phonometric survey is required to determine the personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
If a specially conducted survey suggests that the daily exposure to vibration generated from the grinder exceeds the limit
value under the regulations in force in the respective country, anti-vibration gloves must be worn.
- If you notice that the skin of your fingers becomes numb, tingles or hurts, stop working with the grinder, inform your employer
and seek medical advice.
- Do not make the grinding wheel jump on the workpiece: this may result in significantly increased vibration.
- Hold the grinder securely, though not too firmly, according to the required reaction force of the hand.
