workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the disc.
Polishing safety
✔
This one is pretty straightforward:
Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing wheel to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose polishing wheel
strings, so they can't entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Wire brushing safety
✔
✔
✔
Be aware that the brush throws wire bristles even during ordinary
operation.
So do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. It might also be useful to keep in mind that they can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
Allow the brush to run at operating speed for at least one minute before
using it.
During this time, no one is to stand in front of or in line with the brush
to not get hit with the loose bristles and wires that are discharged during the
run-in time.
During use,
direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you
to
avoid the small particles and tiny wire fragments become embedded in your
skin at high velocity.
Work area safety
✔
Keep your working area clean and well illuminated.
Accidents are much more
likely to happen in messy, dirty, or dark workspaces - accidents that are super
easy to avoid with basic upkeep.
