Warning - Electrical safety
Warning – Potential consequences of use outside of intended application(s).
Includes environmental condition warnings.
Mandatory warning
Warning to disconnect power
Read carefully
5. Warnings
Read the manual carefully before starting and retain for future reference. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
Prior to starting installation or any maintenance the product must be
disconnected from the power supply.
Always wear eye protection
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
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.

Abbott & Ashby Linisher Installation Manual 6
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.
WORK AREA
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.
d. Safe work space. Ensure tool is located in a low traffic area and install
safety signage in the area to provide a visual warning to other staff or
visitors. It is recommended to mark out a safe work zone to prevent other
people from entering when the tool is in use - especially non-qualified users
or children.
e. Secure the Grinder. It is recommended to secure the grinder to the work
bench to prevent unnecessary movement and injury.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in 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 these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND 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 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 tools

Abbott & Ashby Linisher Installation Manual 7
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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Qualified User. Ensure only qualified or trained users are allowed to operate
the tool.
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.
Any changes or modification to the wiring must be carried out by suitably
qualified personnel.
A qualified electrician should correctly size and install residual current devices
to protect the power supply. The fitment of additional surge protection is
recommended.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Ensure that the installation will comply with all applicable local regulations.

8. Safety Instructions
Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information, warnings, and cautions. Failure to
comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to product or property.
Additional safety rules for Bench Grinders - Wheel
a. Ensure that the power tool is disconnected from the mains supply when not in use, before
servicing, lubricating or making adjustments and when changing accessories such as grinding
wheels.
b. Always use the correct type of grinding wheel for the type of operation to be carried out and
the material being machined. Do not use a grinding wheel as a cutting disc.
c. Only use grinding wheels that are in good condition. This will improve grinding and reduce the
load on the machine ensuring a longer life of the grinding wheel and the machine.
d. Never use damaged grinding wheels. Grinding wheels that are cracked, chipped or worn could
shatter causing injury to the operator and bystanders and damage to the machine.
e. Do not use grinding wheels that are larger than specified, only use grinding wheels that are
rated for the machine. The rotational speed shown on the grinding wheel should always be
HIGHER than the rotational speed of the machine.
f. Always fit the blotter or paper washers on either side of the grinding wheel if not already fitted
to the grinding wheel.
g. When fitting a new wheel ensure blotters are in place, fit concave side of ashers to face the
wheel and tighten the lock nut firmly.
h. Do not over tighten (over tightening can crack a grinding wheel).
i. Do not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any way.
j. Do not use excessive force on the grinding wheel. Only use gradual pressure as this will
reduce the wear on the bench grinder and grinding wheels and increase its efficiency and
operating life.
k. Use approved safety glasses or goggles, face mask and if being used for an extended period
wear ear defenders.
l. Do not start the machine with the work piece in contact with the grinding wheel or before
checking the position of the tool rest.
m. Never apply the work piece to the side of the grinding wheel, this could cause the grinding
wheel to shatter.
n. Keep guards in place and in good working order. With the machine disconnected from the
mains supply check that the guards are secure and fitted correctly.
o. Always keep the tool rest as close to the grinding wheel as possible. The gap between the tool
rest and the grinding wheel should be no more than 2mm.
p. Do not attempt to grind objects that are too small to hold safely.
q. Do not use the work piece to slow down the grinding wheel once the machine has been
switched off.
Additional safety rules for Bench Grinders - Linisher
a. Be aware of belt movement and your positioning when grinding. Where possible avoid
positioning your body where the grinding belt/disc/wheel is moving towards you, position your
body slightly to the side to ensure no material or debris is thrown towards you.
b. Understand your application and use the correct grit and material belt/disc to suit
c. Ensure that belt and disc in use is not damaged and if so replace before use. Replacement
belts usually have a direction indicator on the inside, ensure the belt is installed correctly with
the direction indicator following the movement direction of the tool.
d. It is recommended to use the guard to lessen the chances of accidents or injury
e. Ensure the tool is in full operation before you commence the task. Do not hold the material
against the belt/disc while the tool is turned “on”. Ensure a firm grip is maintained on the
material, avoid unnatural hand positions as this can result in sprains, slippage or accidental
contact with the sanding surface. Do not attempt to grin objects that are too small to hold
safely.

MOUNTING:
The grinder can be secured with screws or nuts and bolts to a workbench or pedestal
stand. The length of the fasteners will depend on the thickness of the work surface. Where
a steel bench is used it is best to mount the grinder to a board, then attach the board to the
bench as this will also minimise vibration.
