PREPARATION
1) This SURFACE GRINDER is specialized type of
powered equipment, designed for a specific job function
and requires adequate and thorough instruction
BEFORE it is operated. The size, power, complexity
and operating characteristics of this type of powered
equipment would dictate that each operator must receive
adequate, professional instruction regarding the proper
operation of this SURFACE GRINDER before being
allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize this
SURFACE GRINDER, read this Operator’s Manual and
the material supplied by the motor manufacturer to
familiarize each operator with its correct operating
procedures. Avoid the urge not to take the necessary
time to read this Operator’s Manual before operating
the SURFACE GRINDER. DO NOT OPERATE THE
SURFACE GRINDER UNTIL EACH OPERATOR
COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS OF
THIS MANUAL.
2) Develop a comprehensive program for the safe operation
of the SURFACE GRINDER by its owner(s) and/or
operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not
limited to: instructional requirements for operation,
applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and
regulations, job site safety and a SURFACE GRINDER
maintenance program. Constantly examine and upgrade
this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s)
safety. Each operator must be fully instructed regarding
the specifics of this safety program.
3) Determine that the SURFACE GRINDER is in its original,
factory configuration and has not been modified in any
manner. Many modifications can result in potentially
dangerous configurations that can lead to property
damage and/or personal injury. If there are any questions
about possible modifications made to the SURFACE
GRINDER, contact the Customer Service Department
for specific information BEFORE utilization. There is
no charge for this service. Do not operate the SURFACE
GRINDER without the use of the original equipment V-
belt guard. Use of the SURFACE GRINDER without an
approved belt guard can lead to property damage and/
or personal injury.
4) Minors should never be allowed to operate the SURFACE
GRINDER. Bystanders, especially children and animals,
should not be allowed in the area where the SURFACE
GRINDER is in use. The grinding process can result in
flying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking
the operator and/or onlookers. This can lead to the
possibility of property damage and/or personal injury.
Keep all body parts, loose clothing, foreign objects and
onlookers clear of the rotating disc, multi-accessory
attachments and flying particles.
5) Operators must be in adequate physical condition,
mental health and not under the influence of any
substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the
SURFACE GRINDER is strenuous. If you have any
condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor BEFORE operating the
SURFACE GRINDER. Guide against the possibility of
back related injuries. Always lift the SURFACE
GRINDER with leg muscles and not with the back.
6) Prolonged use of the SURFACE GRINDER (or other,
similar machines) exposes the operator to vibrations
which may produce Whitefinger Disease (Raynaud’s
Phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces the hand’s
ability to feel and regulate temperature, produces
numbness and burning sensations and may cause nerve
and circulation damage and tissue necrosis. Anti-
vibration systems do not guarantee that you will not
sustain Whitefinger Disease. Therefore, continuous and
regular users should closely monitor the condition of
their hands and fingers. After each period of use,
