you: 

 

a. Change tools; 

b. Change parts or adjust the work piece;  

c. Clear away chips or debris – always use a chip 

scraper or brush;  

d. Make an adjustment to the part, fixture, or take 

measurements; 

9. 

Keep work area well lit. Ask for additional light if 

needed.

10. 

Use proper grinding wheels for the job.

11. 

Chips and dust from certain materials (e.g., 

magnesium) can be flammable. Fine dust from 

normally non-flammable materials can be flammable 

or even explosive.

12. 

Chips and dust from certain materials can be toxic. 

Vapors from certain overheated materials can be toxic. 

Always check a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of 

suspect materials. Refuse machining work requests of 

unknown materials.

13. 

If you are in any doubt you must seek guidance from a 

professionally qualified expert rather than risk injury to 

yourself or to others.

14. 

Always stop the grinder and check to ensure the 

machine is in stop mode before adjusting the tool or 

work piece.

15. 

Use adequate safeguarding around the operating 

envelope. 

It is the responsibility of the employer to provide and 

ensure point of operation safeguarding per the following:

• 

OSHA 1910.212 - General Requirements for All 

Machines

• 

ANSI B11.09-2010 Safety Requirements for Grinding 

Machines

• 

ANSI B11.TR3-2000 Risk Assessment and Risk 

Reduction - A Guideline to Estimate, Evaluate, and 

Reduce Risks Associated with Machine Tools

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power Input: 

The power input should be 

unplugged before working in the electrical 

cabinet. 

Grounding: 

Power inputs must be grounded. 

During installation it is not enough to assume that the 

ground line of a wall outlet is properly grounded. Check 

continuity between the machine frame and true earth 

ground (water pipe or similar) to ensure a good ground 

connection.

Electrical Panel:

 NEVER operate the grinder with the 

cabinet door open. 

Retained Electrical Power:

 Electronic devices within the 

electrical cabinet may retain dangerous electrical voltages 

after the power has been removed.

Electrical Service: 

Certain service and troubleshooting 

operations require access to the electrical cabinet while 

the electrical power is on. Only qualified electrical 

technicians should perform such operations.

In preparation for installing the Tormach 2-Axis Semi-

Automatic Personal Surface Grinder PSG 612 Surface 

Grinder you will need to identify a workspace that is large 

enough to accommodate the machine foot print. Select a 

workspace that is relatively level and away from exposure 

to moisture or vibrations.
