Grinding Tips
The grinder is a safe tool when used properly. In
addition to the safety instructions in this manual,
the most important safety consideration is to use
common sense at all times.
Follow these rules when grinding:
•
Make sure the wheel guard and blade sup-
ports are correctly mounted and secure.
•
Remember that grinding often produces
sparks. DO NOT allow anyone to stand in the
path of the sparks without protective clothing
and equipment. DO NOT grind near flam-
mable materials.
•
Maintain proper care of your wheels. Refer to
Wheel Care on Page 18 for detailed instruc-
tions.
•
Wear the proper protective clothing. Particles
flying from the grinding wheel are traveling
at a high rate of speed—prepare for this!
Wear safety glasses/face shield, a NIOSH
approved dust mask or respirator, ear pro-
tection, a leather apron, and heavy leather
boots.
•
Grasp the workpiece or support firmly.
Maintain even pressure and control of the
workpiece, especially when using the slide
bar.
•
To avoid overheating the tool, grind the cut-
ting tool with multiple light passes instead of
one heavy operation.
•
Concentrate on the task at hand. STOP
grinding if other people are distracting you or
your mind is on something else.
•
To some, correctly grinding cutting tools is an
art. If you are not familiar with this process,
get help from an experienced person or read
books to become familiar with the correct
procedures required to sharpen your tools.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
using machine.
Eye injuries, respiratory problems, or hear-
ing loss can occur while operating this
tool. Wear personal protective equipment to
reduce your risk from these hazards.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
Keep hair, clothing, and
jewelry away from mov-
ing parts at all times.
Entanglement can result
in death, amputation, or
severe crushing injuries!
