GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Safety instructions provided by the
machine manufacturers must be
followed. Where fitted, all guards,
covers and hoods must be in place on
the machine during grinding, and should
not be modified in any way. Abrasives
should not be used near inflammable
material or in an environment where
there is a risk of explosion.
Sparks should be directed away from the face and
body, if possible towards the floor. Dust extraction
equipment must be used whenever it is available.
The instructions for use given by the abrasive
manufacturer must be followed e.g. ‘Not to be
used without a support’, or ‘Not to be used for wet
grinding’. The workpiece must be firmly fixed before
grinding starts. Check all abrasives visually before
use and make certain that the product is suitable for
the application. No modifications should be made to
abrasive products after delivery.
When using a portable grinder always switch it off
and allow the spindle to stop completely before
putting the tool down. Wet grinding should only be
carried out on machines designed for this purpose
and with abrasives designated as suitable for this
type of operation.
