TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SAFETY IN THE STORAGE & USE OF CUTTING£OFF
& GRINDING WHEELS
All cutting-off and grinding wheels are breakable
and it is imperative that users take appropriate
precautions. Abrasive wheels that are damaged,
incorrectly mounted or used are dangerous
and can cause serious injuries to any one in the
vicinity. This section contains a summary of the
most important precautions. Further safety
recommendations can be found in the country laws,
decrees and technical standards in the Fepa-
safety code (Federation of European Producers of
Abrasives,
).
WHEEL SELECTION
Carefully read the label or information on the wheel
and ensure the wheel is suitable for the application
and has the correct dimensions. Check that the
max. rpm of the machines spindle on which the
wheel is mounted never exceeds the max. rpm
printed on the wheel label. Follow any restriction of
use and specific instructions which may be indicated
on the wheel or attached documents.
INSPECTION AND TEST BEFORE MOUNTING
Ensure that the instructions on the wheel and on the
machine are compatible.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Carefully inspect the abrasive wheel, if it is
damaged in any way, do not use.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Before starting the cutting-off or grinding
operation, the wheel guard must be in position and
fixed securely. The wheel guard must be capable of
catching broken wheel fragments effectively
and withstanding the impact caused by wheel
breakage.
MOUNTING AND USE OF THE MOUNTING DEVICES
Only mount wheels on machines designed for the
specific operation. Never use force when mounting.
Always use the mounting flanges supplied with the
machine and ensure they are clean, never modify
them in any way.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Cutting-off and grinding wheels should only be used
for materials they are suitable for. This is shown
by pictograms on the product, packaging and in the
catalogue.
CUTTING£OFF
When cutting-off, keep the wheel straight in the cut
and add only radial pressure to the wheel.
GRINDING
When grinding keep the wheel at an angle of 20/30º
or more to the work piece.
