Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding
Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator.
The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.

regulations and the implementation of safety devices,
