FIRE PREVENTION
Sharpening operations create hot sparks
and sharpening debris:
1. The work area must be kept clean and free from all
flammable material.
2. The workbench should be protected with an appropriate
heat resistant cover to prevent fire or scorching of surfaces.
3. Keep an approved fire extinguisher of the proper size
and type in the work area. Inspect it regularly to ensure
that it is in proper working order. Know how to use the
fire extinguisher.
4. WARNING: NEVER perform sharpening operations in
the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
