  • Page 4: Specific Safety Rules For Grinding

    GENERAL SAFETY RULES 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot- wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc- tions for lubricating and changing accessories.
  • Page 5 SPECIFIC RULES FOR GRINDING 7. Do not use a grinding wheel that is larger than the maximum recommended size for your tool. Avoid using worn down and damaged wheels from larger grinders. Wheels intended for larger angle grinders are not suitable for the high speed of a small angle grinder, making these wheels burst easily.
