1.2 Proper use
Use
The bench grinder is designed and manufactured exclusively for grinding and polishing metals
using properly authorised abrasive and polishing grinding-wheels.
The bench grinder must be used exclusively for this purpose.
The bench grinder must not be used to machine material that is hazardous to health or materials
that generate dust, such as, for example, wood, Teflon
®
etc.
Improper
use!
If the grinder is used in any way other than as described above, if it is modified without the
authorisation of Optimum Maschinen GmbH or if it is operated with different process data, then it
is being used improperly.
We do not take liability for damage caused by improper use.
We would like to stress that any modifications to the construction, or technical or technological
modifications which have not been authorised by Optimum Maschinen GmbH will also render
the guarantee null and void.
It is also part of proper use that
• the operating values and adjustment data of the grinder are complied with,
• the instruction manual is observed,
• review and maintenance instructions are observed.
WARNING!
Very serious injury.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alterations to the operating values of the
grinder! These could endanger personnel and cause damage to the grinder.

1.3 Possible dangers caused by the grinder
The grinder has undergone a safety inspection (analysis of danger with assessment of risks).
Design and construction based on this analysis were carried out with the latest technological
advances.
Nonetheless, there remains a residual risk, given that the grinder features
• high revolutions,
• rotating parts
• grinding wheels (emission of sparks)
• electrical voltage and currents.
We have used construction resources an d safety techniques to minim ise the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the grinder is used by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may be a risk resulting from
incorrect operation or unsuitable maintenance.
INFORMATION
All personnel involved in assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
• be duly qualified,
• follow this instruction manual.
In the event of improper use
• there may be a risk to personnel,
• there may be a risk to the machine and other items,
• correct functioning of the grinder may be affected.
Disconnect the machine whenever cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out.
WARNING!
“Safety
devices“ on
page 8
The grinder may only be used with the safety devices activated.
Disconnect the grinder immediately if a failure is detected in the safety devices!
All additional installations carried out by the operator must incorporate the prescribed
safety devices.
As the machine operator, this will be your responsibility!
1.4 Qualification of personnel
1.4.1 Target group
This manual is addressed to
• operators
•users
• maintenance staff.
The warning notes therefore refer to both operation and maintenance of the bench grinder.
Determine clearly and unequivocally who will be responsible for the different activities on the
machine (use, maintenance and repair).
Vague or unclear assignment of responsibilities constitutes a safety hazard!
Always disconnect the grinder plug from the mains. This will prevent it being used by unauthor-
ised personnel.

1.6 Safety devices
Use the grinder only with properly functioning safety devices.
Stop the grinder immediately if there is a failure in the safety device and when the grinder is not
being used.
It is your responsibility!
If a safety device has been activated, the grinder must only be used when
• the cause of the failure has been removed,
• it has been verified that there is no resulting danger for personnel or objects.
WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or override a safety device in any other way, you are endangering
yourself and other personnel working with the grinder. The possible consequences are
• very serious injury resulting from a blow-out of the grinding wheels,
• injuries to the eyes resulting from emission of sp arks,
• hand injuries,
• fatal electrocution.
The bench grinder includes the following safety devices:
• A transparent spark-guard for each grinding wheel
• An adjustable protective guard with a shaft cover on each grinding wheel.
1.6.1 Transparent spark-guard
The transparent spark-guard in each grinding wheel reduces emissions of sparks
towards the eyes during machining.
It is essential to use protective goggles!
Illustr.1-1: Transparent spark-guard
1.6.2 Protective covers on grinding wheels
The protective covers on the grinding wheels and the ends of the drive shaft prevent accidental
contact.
The operating aperture in the grinder is sized to intercept and retain any fragments from the
grinding wheels.
WARNING!
Adjust the protective cover when the
grinding wheel is worn down.
The operating aperture in the protective
cover should not exceed the space
required for machining the parts.
Try to use a well-fitting work suit.
