Additional Safety Instructions for Grinders
1.EYE PROTECTION. Grinding causes small particles to become airborne at a high rate of speed. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using this machine.
2.WHEEL SPEED RATING. Wheels operated at a faster speed than rated for may break or fly apart. Before mounting a new wheel, be sure the wheel RPM rating is equal to or higher than the speed of the grinder.
4.WHEEL FLANGES. Only use the flanges included with the grinder when mounting wheels. Other flanges may not properly secure the wheel and cause an accident.
5.RING TEST. Perform a “ring test” on grinding wheels before installation to ensure that they are safe to use. A wheel that does not pass the ring test may break or fly apart during opera- tion.
6.STARTING GRINDER. If a wheel IS damaged, it will usually fly apart shortly after
7.LUNG PROTECTION. Grinding pro- duces hazardous dust, which may cause
8.SIDE GRINDING. Grinding on the side of wheels can cause them to break and fly
9.HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Grinding wheels have the capability of remov- ing a lot of skin fast. Keep a firm grip on the workpiece and position your hands at a safe distance away when grinding. Avoid wearing gloves, as they may get caught in the grinding wheel and cause even more serious entanglement injuries.
10.TOOL REST POSITION. If the tool rest is too far away from the wheel, the workpiece may be pulled down, causing loss of control and pulling your hand into the grinding wheel. Keep the tool rest within 1⁄8" from the wheel when operating.
