USE ABRASIVE BELTS FROM RESPECTED BELT MANUFACTURES
• Not all abrasive belts are created equal. Belts that are very inexpensive are usually manufactured cheaply.
• Use abrasive belts of proper size
20.
KNOW WHAT YOUR GRINDING
• Avoid mixing different metals, alloys, and materials. To mix such materials might create a fire or explosion hazard
• Exotic materials such as titanium, magnesium, and other chemically active materials will present fire and explosion
hazards that if ignored can result in grave personal injury and/or property damage.
• Consult with your material supplier or other qualified expert regarding the materials on which you wish to work.
21.
KEEP GRINDER MAINTAINED
• Ensure contact wheels and idler wheels are in good condition and are free from cuts or splits. If damaged parts are
found, immediately discontinue use of the grinder and order replacement parts.
• Never perform maintenance on the grinder with its electrical power source connected.
22.
DO NOT USE STONE WHEELS
• The use of stone or vitreous wheels on any Burr King grinder is prohibited. The machine guarding is not suitable for
these types of wheels. To do so will create an operator safety hazard.
