Series SC and XC Grinders are designed for close--quarter work in the metal fabricating
industry, shipyards, pipe fabrication, die and mold manufacturing and limited space
applications. They are particularly good where conduits, pipes, ducts etc. pass through
bulkheads or frames. These small Grinders are very efficient at grinding weld bead and leaving
a fine finish.

treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
