speed rating. grinding bits and cut-
off wheels operated at a faster speed
than rated, may break or fly apart. Before
installing, make sure the maximum
allowable speed for the grinding stone
or cut-off wheel is equal or higher than
the speed of the tool.
air line connection inspection.
An air line that becomes disconnected
from a tool can whip violently, causing
severe injury. Verify that air line is
properly connected and the fittings are
tight and leak free. Leaking fittings can
indicate the fitting is cracked and is
about to fail.
Wear proper apparel. do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that
may get caught in moving parts. non-
slip footwear is recommended. Wear a
protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
use safety goggles. Also use a
face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses.

bits, disconnect the grinder from air to
prevent an accidental start-up injury.
tool stability. to establish the best
control possible when grinding, hold the
grinder with two hands, and stabilize your
hands and body against a fixed object.
Free-grinding (using one hand and no
support) can allow the tooling to grab the
workpiece and cause you to lose your grip
on the grinder, leading to severe injury.
no list of safety guidelines can be
complete. every shop environment
is different. always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual
working conditions. use this and
other tools with caution and respect.
failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
