HAND AND PORTABLE POWERED TOOLS

 .

Powered Abrasive Wheel Tools

Due to the possibility of a wheel disintegrating (exploding) during start-up, the employee should never stand directly in front of the wheel as it accelerates to full operating speed.

Portable grinding tools need to be equipped with safety guards to protect workers not only from the moving wheel surface, but also from flying fragments in case of breakage.

When using a powered grinder:
  • Always use eye protection
  • Always turn off the power when not in use
  • Never clamp a hand-held grinder in a vise.
