RECOMMENDATIONS ON SAFE USE OF FLEXIBLE
BACKING ABRASIVES
Transportation and Storage
Very careful storage of the abrasives during transportation is necessary. Avoid
mechanical damages, for example strokes, drops or bends. Then provide protection against
precipitation, dew, hoar-frost. Keep abrasives in dry nonfreezing places. Don`t keep near
heating devices, cold or damp walls, doors or windows, or directly on the floor. Preserve
against a straight line of sun rays. Recommended temperature of storage is 18-22°C at
relative humidity of air 45-65%. If possible store abrasives in its original packing. Store taken
out of packing abrasives avoiding deformation.
Recommendations on Safe Use of Endless Belts
1. 48 hours prior placing of belts on the machine they are taken out of original packing and
hung on the core with minimum diameter 50 mm. If the minimum diameter of the core is less
than 50mm, it can lead to splits and cracks on the grinding belt.
2. Before start of work examine the belts if they were not damaged during transportation or
as a result of careless storage.

Grinding belts of width more than 50 mm use only on grinders intended specially for
themand satisfying to all safety requirements.
Before installation of the belt on the grinder or on the machine find on the inner side of
the belt an indicator. During the work direction of grinding belt movement must coincide with the
indicator.
Before start of work check up your equipment on efficiency, on preciseness of
supporting elements: contact wheels, supporting cross-beam, presence of defending covers.
Never take off the cover whileworking on the grinder or machine!
Put on the belt on the contact wheels without tension.
Start grinding only when the belt is strained and the grinder or machine reaches a
maximum idling
speed.Atrotation the belt shouldmove without beats and axial movements.
At working the grinding belt should be loaded uniformly from center.
Execute wet grinding only with belts intended for it.
Don't switch off the grinder or machine till the processed detail has a contact with the
belt.
At wet grinding after the grinding process the supply of LSS stops and the grinding belt is
started idling so long until cooling lubrication produced of abrasive belt stops to fly away.
For protection of your organism use protective gloves, glasses, gauze bandage or
respirator from dust. Depending on grinding activities put on mask for protection of face,
leather apron and secure footwear.
