The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and

sound protection measures are necessary.

As part of our ongoing product development, specifications of

Silverline products may alter without notice.

WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A)
and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even
with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is
correctly fitted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of
sound produced by your tool.

WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch,
numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a
chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and
use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal
comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures
provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and
frequency of operating the tool.

Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to
EN60745 or similar international standards. The figures represent normal use for
the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled,
or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.
europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that
may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool
before use. Keep these instructions with the product for future reference. Ensure
all persons who use this product are fully acquainted with this manual.

Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. Use with caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in
which to use this tool, do not attempt to use it.

General Power Tool Safety
Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term 'power tool' in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control

Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock

NOTE: The term ‘residual current device (RCD)’ may be replaced by the
term ‘ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)’ or ‘earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB)’.

200W Bench Grinder

Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards

Power Tool Use & Care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack

from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation

Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained

Bench Grinder Safety

1. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a
grinder, safety goggles, ear defenders and dust masks should be worn

2. Always use grinding wheels of the correct specification for the grinder

3. Prior to use, check grinding wheels for damage. Do not use flawed,
cracked or grinding wheels with any kind of damage. Damaged wheels can
spontaneously shatter causing a hazard

4. If you suspect that a wheel has degraded in storage DO NOT USE

5. Ensure that grinding wheels are fitted correctly and securely prior to use.
Tighten grinding wheel lock nuts, secure bolts and check all clamps and
guards

6. Ensure guards are in place and working correctly prior to use

7. After fitting a new grinding wheel, stand to one side of the grinder and switch
‘ON’. Let the grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute to
allow undetected flaws or cracks to become apparent

8. Keep hands clear of the grinding wheels at all times; do not reach behind or
beneath the grinding wheels

9. Do not attempt to use this grinding tool for cutting tasks

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions.

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool.

Installing your bench grinder

Note: It is strongly recommended the bench grinder is permanently installed on
a work surface. Alternatively the bench grinder needs to be securely clamped to
a work surface ensuring the clamping mechanisms do not interfere with normal
operation of the unit. It is highly dangerous not to secure the bench grinder to a
work surface.

• The bench grinder needs to be installed on a level, flat surface with good light
and adequate access to allow comfortable positioning of workpieces. Ensure
the tool is installed at the right height to prevent fatigue in use which can lead
to injury

• The base of the bench grinder has 4 holes that can be utilised for either bolts
or screws (not supplied) to secure the tool to the required work surface. It is
recommended either spring washers and/or lock nuts are used to prevent
these fittings working loose over time as a result of vibration of the tool during
operation.

Attaching the eye shields

• The grinder should never be used without the supplied Adjustable Eye Shields
(2). Attempting to use the grinder without the eye shields, or with the eye
shields incorrectly fitted, is highly dangerous and could result in severe injury to
yourself or others around you

• The eye shields should be attached to the Wheel Guards (3), using the nuts and
bolts supplied

• As the Grinding Wheel (1) wears, adjust the eye shields closer to the wheel to
ensure that most of the sparks are caught by the shields

Warning: Eye protection must still be worn by the user while operating the bench
grinder

Attaching the tool rests

• The grinder should never be used without the supplied Tool Rests (4).
Attempting to use the grinder without the tool rests, or with the tool rests
incorrectly fitted, is highly dangerous and could result in severe injury to
yourself or others around you

• The tool rests should be attached to the Wheel Guards (3), using the nuts and
bolts supplied

• The tool rests can be adjusted to best suit the work to be performed. Always
ensure that the tool rests are securely tightened before use.

• As the Grinding Wheel (1) wears, it will be necessary to adjust the tool rests. The
gap between the wheel and the rest should be less than 3mm at all times

Before Use

• Always check that all parts or attachments are secure, and that rotating parts
will not come in contact with the guards or machine case

• Be aware that the cast metal motor housing may get hot during use.

• Ensure that any ventilation holes are not obscured in any way. Hot air may be

emitted from the machine when in use

• Always wear suitable personal protective equipment while working with this
tool. Use of this machine requires ear defenders, safety goggles, gloves, and a
breathing mask

• This tool is earthed and requires an earthed 3-pin socket

• This tool is not suitable for outdoor use

Fitting a grinding wheel

• Only fit wheels of the correct size for this machine (see Specifications)

• Remove the screws in the end cover of the Wheel Guards (3), and remove the

end cover

• Remove the retaining nut from the centre of the grinding wheel

• The grinding wheel can now be removed and replaced

• Ensure that the retaining nut and end cover are replaced and securely tightened

before use

Note: Over-tightening the retaining nut can cause the wheel to crack. Do not use
excess force

Operating Instructions

Switching on/off

Note: Do not switch the machine on/off when under load. Always allow the motor

to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely before leaving
unattended

• To start the machine, press the part of the On/Off Switch (5) marked 'I'

• To start the machine, press the part of the On/Off Switch (5) marked '0'

Note: The duty cycle of the bench grinder is a maximum 30 minutes continuous
operation. After 30 minutes continuous operation the grinder will require 30
minutes to cool before reusing. The cooling time is the ideal time to clean up and
remove the large amount of dust created by the grinding process.

Grinding

• Do not push the workpiece into the grinding wheel as you grind causing the
grinding wheel to slow. Instead allow the grinding wheel to maintain full speed
and apply very minimal pressure

• Do not use grinding wheels that are damaged or have worn down more than
25% from their original size

• Always hold work against the Tool Rest (4), and grip with both hands. Position
yourself so you have a comfortable grip on the workpiece without being
excessively close to the grinder. It is critical your clothes have no loose strands
of material especially on your arms and close to your hands that could be
caught by the grinding wheel forcing your hand into the grinding mechanism

• Do not attempt to work on material that is too small to grip securely

• Always refer to wheel manufacturer’s literature before use. Check that the

wheel is suitable for the material that you intend to work

• Metal grinding may produce sparks. Ensure that you are properly protected, and
that any flammable materials are removed from the work area

• When grinding, the workpiece will quickly become hot. It may be necessary
to quench the work in water to prevent heat damage. The fine-grade grinding
wheel will produce less heat and may be safer to use for some materials that
are easily heat damaged

• Some materials may contain trace amount of toxic materials. If you are unsure
of the composition of the workpiece, it is recommended to remove grinding dust
frequently and always wear suitable respiratory protection

• Metallic dust can damage other tools if allowed to accumulate by vents and be
drawn in when the tool is operated

• When grinding has finished for the session, remove dust and vacuum work
area and tool

L’intensité sonore peut dépasser 85 dB(A) et il est nécessaire que

l’utilisateur prenne des mesures de protection sonore.

Du fait de l’évolution constante de notre développement produit,

les caractéristiques des produits Silverline peuvent changer sans

notification préalable

Attention : Toujours porter des protections sonores lorsque le niveau d’intensité
est supérieur à 85 dB(A) et limiter le temps d’exposition si nécessaire. Si
l’intensité sonore devient inconfortable, même avec les protections, arrêter
immédiatement d’utiliser l’appareil, vérifier que les protections soient bien mises
et qu’elles soient adéquates avec le niveau sonore produit par l’appareil.

Attention : L’exposition de l’utilisateur aux vibrations peut engendrer une perte du
toucher, des engourdissements, des picotements et ainsi réduire la capacité de
préhension. De longues expositions peuvent également provoquer ces symptômes
de façon chronique. Si nécessaire, limiter le temps d’exposition aux vibrations, et
porter des gants anti-vibrations. Ne pas utilisez cet appareil avec vos mains sous
des conditions en dessous de températures normales, car l’effet vibratoire en est
accentué. Se référer au cas de figures des caractéristiques relatives aux vibrations
pour calculer le temps et fréquence d’utilisation de l’appareil.

Les niveaux sonores et vibratoires des caractéristiques techniques sont
déterminés en fonction de la norme EN60745 ou autres normes internationales.
. 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. Pour plus d’informations
sur la directive des émissions sonores et vibratoires, visitez le site http://osha.
europa.eu/fr.

utiliser cet outil ait attentivement pris connaissance de ce manuel.

Sachez qu’utiliser un outil conformément aux prescriptions ne garantit pas
l’élimination de tous les facteurs de risque. Procédez avec prudence. N’utilisez pas
cet outil si vous avez des doutes quant à la manière sûre et correcte de procéder.

Consignes générales de
sécurité relatives aux appareils
électriques

AVERTISSEMENT Veuillez lire l’intégralité des consignes de sécurité et des
instructions. Le non-respect de ces consignes et instructions peut entraîner un

risque de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou se traduire par des blessures graves

Attention : Cet appareil n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé par des personnes
(enfants compris) ayant des capacités physiques ou mentales réduites, ou n’ayant
pas la connaissance ou l’expérience requise, à moins d’être sous la supervision
d’une personne responsable de leur sécurité ou d’avoir reçu les instructions
nécessaires. Les enfants ne doivent pas s’approcher et jouer avec cet appareil.

Veuillez conserver ces instructions et consignes de sécurité pour référence

L’expression « appareil électrique » employée dans les présentes consignes
recouvre aussi bien les appareils filaires à brancher sur le secteur que les
appareils sans fils fonctionnant sous batterie.

Sécurité sur la zone de travail

a) Maintenir une zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Des zones

encombrées et mal éclairées sont sources d’accidents.

b) Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des environnements explosifs,

tels qu’à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.

Les appareils électriques produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer
la poussière ou les vapeurs présentes.

c) Eloigner les enfants et les passants pendant l’utilisation d’un appareil

électrique. Ceux-ci peuvent provoquer une perte d’attention et faire perdre

la maîtrise de l’appareil.

Sécurité électrique

a) La prise d’un appareil électrique doit être adaptée à la prise du secteur.

Ne jamais modifier la prise en aucune façon. Des prises non modifiées,

adaptées aux boîtiers de prise de courant, réduiront le risque de décharge
électrique.

b) Eviter le contact corporel avec les surfaces mises à la terre telles que

tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le risque de décharge

électrique est plus important si le corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer l’appareil électrique à la pluie ou à l’humidité.

L’infiltration d’eau dans un appareil électrique accroît le risque de décharge
électrique.

d) Ne pas maltraiter le cordon électrique. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon

électrique pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Protéger le
cordon électrique de la chaleur, du contact avec l’essence, des bords
tranchants et pièces rotatives. Un cordon électrique endommagé ou

entortillé accroît le risque de décharge électrique.
