Safety Information
A grinding machine is a power tool developing high rpm's during operation.
As with all power tools there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operator and his use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. If, however, normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can develop.
