SAFETY RULES
Safety Rules for a Grinder
1) Read all the instructions before using this tool. All operators must be fully trained in its use and aware of these safety rules.
2) Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure.
3) Use personal protective safety equipment.
5) If the tool appears to malfunction remove from use immediately and arrange for service and repair.
6) If the tool is used with a balancer or other support device ensure that it is fixed securely.
7) Always keep hands away from the working attachment fitted to the tool.
8) The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use the tool if there is any chance of it coming into contact with a live electrical
source.
9) Always when using the tool adopt a firm footing and/or position and grip the tool firmly to be able to counteract any forces
or reaction forces that may be generated whilst using the tool.
10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise or make temporary repairs.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off valve in the run position. The trigger/lever etc. must always be free to return to the
‘off’ position when it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool, and depress the trigger/lever etc. to release air from the feed hose before fitting,
adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is
remote from the on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the
body to be drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) Users will adopt safe working practices and observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or maintaining
the tool.
16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily operable on/off valve is incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or blows on another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped moving.
19) A grinding wheel should only be fitted by a competent person trained to do so. The wheel must be of the correct size and
speed rating.
20) Check the speed of the grinder at least once per week, if it is in regular use, with an accurate tachometer.
21) The tool must only be used with the grinding wheels as set out in section “Use of the Tool” and shown on parts list. Never
fit any other device.
22) Carry out the instructions as set out in “Putting into Service”.
23) Many countries have local or national rules re the use and fitting of grinding wheels. Make sure such rules are observed.
24) Use a barrier to prevent sparks causing a hazard to the operator, any other person or anything within the vicinity of the
sparks.
25) If a wheel guard becomes damaged or has withstood a wheel breakage, the guard must be changed.
26) Do not use chipped or cracked grinding wheels.
27) Always wear impact resistant eye protection.
28) Use only the disc plates, Items (38) and (40) provided with the grinder for locating and clamping the wheel. Never use
substitutes. Use the paper blotter fixed to the wheel as this ensures even tightness when the wheel is secured.
29) Tighten the wheel plates sufficiently to prevent wheel spin off when the grinder is turned off. Do not tighten excessively as
this may crack the wheel.
30) The noise from the tool or the process noise of the grinding operation may be such that hearing protection should be
worn.
31) Avoid inhaling dust from the grinding process. Wearing of a breathing mask is recommended. Grinder certain materials
may mean that special breathing precautions are necessary. Seek advice before using the tool.
32) Always ensure that the work piece is firmly supported so that it cannot move during the grinding process.
33) If the grinder is dropped do not use unless the wheel is first checked for damage by a competent person.
34) When not in use the grinder should be stored in a safe place where it will not be damaged. If a tool has not been used for
a period of time check the tool as for the first time of using.
35) Be aware that if the grinding process causes high vibration, special precautions should be taken.
36) The operator should be aware that the grinding wheel will continue to rotate after the power supply has been shut off. This
could cause a hazard.
37) Always store grinding wheels in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
38) Check frequently that the spindle thread has not become damaged or worn.
39) Always ensure that the grinding wheel has a higher permissible running speed to the speed of the grinder.
