Noise and Vibration

• Sound and vibration levels in the speciﬁcation are determined according to ISO 28927-3. The ﬁgures given can be used to compare similar tools tested to this standard. These ﬁgures may be used to assess exposure to noise and vibration levels.

• The ﬁgures represent normal use for the tool in normal working condition. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled or misused tool may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. The total working period that you can operate this tool must factor in periods where the tool is idle or switched off. Allow frequent rest breaks when operating this tool.

• It is in the interest of users to maximise their safety using the correct safety equipment, like ear defenders that protect against loud or repetitive noise, and anti-vibration gloves that minimise vibration. Do not operate the tool with your hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect.

Sound

• The noise directive was introduced to protect against the risk to health and safety arising or likely to arise from exposure to noise and risk of hearing. The Directive can be used to deﬁne noise exposure and the physical parameters, such as peak sound pressure and daily and weekly exposure level. Particular attention should be taken to exposure level and duration.

• For more information on the Noise Directives 2003/10/EC and 2000/14/ EC, please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work -

www.osha.europa.eu.

Vibration

• The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC was introduced to control the exposure of vibration at work. The Directive enables users of tools to make informed decisions on the amount of time spent working. Those who regularly operate high vibration equipment over a sustained period of time are at a higher risk of health problems. ISO 28927-3 measures vibration in three directions which is known as tri-axial or vector sum measurement. When operating high vibration equipment, ensure not to exceed exposure levels. For more details on The Vibration Directive 2002/44/EC please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work -www.osha.europa.eu

• Depending in the application and work angle, the position f the guard must be adjusted, to always be located between the disc and the user:

1. Use the Hex Key (6) to loosen the guard clamping screw

2. Adjust guard position and re-tighten screw

WARNING: DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening may damage the guard.

Operation

WARNING: DO NOT switch the machine on/off when the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Always allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely before placing the grinder down. Always hold the machine securely, using both hands, on the handles provided.

www.silverlinetools.com

Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding. Excessive pressure does not result in more effective removal of material, but will cause premature wear of the grinding disc and increase wear and tear on the machine.

WARNING: This is a cutting device only. DO NOT attempt to use it for sideways grinding, as axial force will cause the cutting disc to shatter.

1. Hold the tool by its Handle (1) and turn it so the open side of the Guard (2) is facing away from you. Your thumb should wrap around the Handle (1) and your ﬁngers should sit on the Speed Control Trigger (9)

2. Disengage the Safety Catch (8) and gently squeeze the trigger towards the handle

3. The Cutting Disc (5) will begin to spin. Squeeze the trigger further to increase the speed, slightly release to decrease the speed

4. With the disc spinning at the required speed, slowly move the disc towards the workpiece to be cut and gently engage the material

WARNING: When the disc begins to cut, it will force the tool to move sideways. Make sure you have a ﬁrm grip on the tool and are ready to counteract this.

5. As the disc begins to cut, take note of the direction of the waste material being ejected. It should be going away from you, and not towards any person or object to which it may cause damage

6. To stop the tool, remove the disc from the workpiece, fully release the trigger and allow the safety catch to re-engage

Note: DO NOT allow the tool to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period of time. This will shorten its life.

WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.

Niveau sonore et vibratoire

Les niveaux sonores et vibratoires des caractéristiques techniques sont déterminés en fonction de la norme ISO 28927 – 3. Ces données peuvent être utilisées pour comparer des outils similaires et testés selon cette norme. Ces données peuvent être aussi pour estimer l’exposition aux niveaux sonores et vibratoires.

Ces données correspondent à un usage normale de l’appareil, et ce dans des conditions de travail normales. Un appareil mal entretenu, mal assemblé ou mal utilisé peut augmenter les niveaux sonores et vibratoires. La durée totale d’utilisation sur laquelle vous utilisez l’appareil doit prendre en compte les périodes ou l’appareil est éteint ou à l’arrêt. Faites des pauses régulièrement lorsque vous utilisez cette appareil.

C’est dans l’intérêt de l’utilisateur d’assurer au maximum sa sécurité en s’équipant de protection de sécurité comme des casques anti- bruit qui protègent contre les bruits répétitifs et forts, et des gants anti-vibration pour diminuer les effets vibratoires. Ne pas utilisez cet appareil avec vos mains sous des conditions en dessous de températures normales, car l’effet vibratoire en est accentué.

Le niveau sonore

La directive sur les émissions sonores a été introduite pour protéger contre les risques sur la santé, améliorer la sécurité et prévenir les risques de pertes auditives par l’exposition aux émissions sonores. Cette directive peut être utilisée pour déﬁnir l’exposition sonore et les paramètres physiques, tels que les niveaux de pression acoustique, les niveaux quotidiens et hebdomadaires d’exposition. Une attention particulière doit être portée au niveau d’exposition et de la durée. Pour plus d’informations sur la directive des émissions sonores 2003/10/CE et 2000/14/CE, visitez le site http://osha.europa.eu/fr

Le niveau vibratoire

La directive relative à l’exposition des travailleurs aux risques dus aux agents physiques 2002/44/CE a été introduite pour contrôler l’exposition aux vibrations au travail. Cette directive permet aux utilisateurs d’évaluer la durée d’utilisation de l’appareil. Les personnes utilisant des équipements à effet vibratoire élevé pendant de longues périodes sont plus exposées aux risques sur la santé. La norme ISO 28927 – 3 mesure les vibrations selon trois axe , par la somme vectorielle triaxiale. Lors de l’utilisation d’appareil à haut effet vibratoire, assurez-vous de ne pas dépasser les niveaux d’expositions. Pour plus d’informations sur la directive à l’exposition aux vibrations, consultez le site http://osha.europa.eu/fr.
