13. Make sure the bench grinder is on a firm, level surface and
properly secured to avoid injury from unexpected movement.
Firmly clamp or bolt the bench grinder to a support surface
to prevent slipping or sliding during the operation.
14. Do not use a grinding wheel that vibrates when used. If
dressing the wheel does not solve the vibration, replace it.
Also inspect the machine for other causes of vibration such
as worn bearings or a bent shaft. Repair or replace broken
components immediately before reusing the machine.
GRINDING TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Only use a grinding wheel of the recommended size
(see Specifications)
1.1 Only use a grinding wheel with the correct arbor size
and shape that matches the grinder's spindle.
2. Ensure the grinding wheel has a clean edge. Check the
grinding wheel for wear or chipping and replace if necessary.
3. Never install more than one grinding wheel at a time unless
the tool and wheels are designed for that purpose.
4. A large amount of sparks will be created when working with a
grinding wheel. Hold the workpiece so that sparks fly away
from you and other persons or flammable materials. Have a
fully charged fire extinguisher present in the event of a fire.
5. Do not subject the grinding wheel to any lateral pressure as
it may damage the tool or cause it to kickback.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
workpiece caught in the grinder. The workpiece can be ejected
and inflict a serious injury on the user or a bystander. Kickback
can also damage the tool.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
