1.3 Operative Range and Correct Usage
The grinder PM200 is designed to operate on flat horizontal surfaces. The
machine cannot be used for other purposes. The manufacturer will not be liable
for damages resulting from such incorrect usage. In case of wrong usage, the
user assumes all risks.
1.4 Stand–by Power Supply (Generator)
If the grinder PM200 is operated using a generator, the generator must be
operated in accordance with the local electrical code. This applies especially to
the protective grounding of such unit in order to ensure that all safety devices
are functioning and to be able to eliminate possible damage to electrical
components.
1.5 Advice for Operators of Grinding Machines
During the operation of the grinder PM200, depending on the type of surface,
it may be possible to exceed the acceptable noise level of 85 dB(A). This
depends on the different locations and the local circumstances. When the noise
level is 85 dB(A) or more, the machine operator and the persons working near
the machine must wear hearing protection equipment.
