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 the appropriate precautions.

Abrasive wheels that are damaged, improperly mounted or improperly used are dangerous and can cause serious

injuries to any person 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,

SELECTION OF THE WHEEL

Carefully read the label or the information on the wheel and make sure that the wheel is suitable for the application

and has the correct dimensions. Check that the max. rpm of the machine spindle on which you will mount

the wheel never exceeds the max. rpm printed on the wheel label. Follow any restriction of use and any specific

instruction which may be indicated on the wheel or on attached documents.

INSPECTION & TEST BEFORE MOUNTING

Make sure 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 capable of withstanding

the impact caused by wheel breakage.

MOUNTING OF THE GRINDING WHEEL & USE OF THE MOUNTING DEVICES

Only mount the wheels on machines designed for the 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.
