FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS TO
PROTECT YOU AND
YOUR EQUIPMENT
Please take a copy of these
guidelines for optimum safety
and use of your abrasives.
TIPS FOR SAFELY USING
YOUR GRINDER OR BUFFER,
ATTACHMENTS AND BELTS
GENERAL SAFETY
GUIDELINES
Working with abrasive products and
machinery can be hazardous to both operators
and bystanders. If an abrasive belt breaks
during operation, there can be serious injury
to the eyes, face, and/or other parts of the
body not protected by adequate equipment.
Grinding sparks and dust particles can also
cause serious injury by contact or inhalation.
Always read and follow the instructions for use
on all products and machinery before
beginning to work. Always use appropriate
protective glasses, face shields and body
protection. Do not exceed maximum operating
RPM of machinery. Use the guards provided
with the machine and/or attachments. Finally,
follow all safety operating procedures posted
in work areas.
Personal Protective Equipment
Always wear impact-resistant protective
glasses and full face shield when involved in
grinding operations. In addition, always wear
safety shoes, arm guards, leather gloves and
aprons.
Abrasive Belt Equipment Precautions
Always observe the safety recommendations
supplied by the manufacturer of your grinder.
Never run an abrasive belt or an unfamiliar
machine without obtaining and following the
instructions.
SAFE OPERATING
ABRASIVE BELT
Always begin work with an inspection for
safe operating conditions, as follows:
• The abrasive belt and expander wheel
should be enclosed in a sheet metal
hood to confine flying sparks, grinding
dust, fumes, and to provide protection
should a belt break.
The following precautions should be
regarded concerning the operation of
abrasive belts:
• Store the belts at 35% - 50% relative
humidity and 60-80 degrees F. Never use
an abrasive belt with a nicked or cut
edge, a crease or handling damage.
• An adequate exhaust system should be
used, with the duct at the grinding area
for all applications that create airborne
dust. Wear an appropriate government
approved respirator to help reduce
contaminant exposure. Excessive
inhalation can cause serious injury.
Additional precautions may be necessary
for grinding materials that are flammable
or have other hazardous properties.
Consult manufacturers of such materials
for instructions on grinding and handling.
Use a work piece fixture whenever
possible; the fixture holds the work piece
more securely and may afford some
protection if the work piece jams.
To begin using the belt, take note of the
following guidelines:
• If the belt is not bidirectional, there will be
an arrow pointing one direction on the
backing. The belt should be installed with
the arrow running in the direction of the
wheel.
INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS AND USE
• Make sure the abrasive belt fully covers
the face of the contact wheel. A partially
uncovered wheel face will cause snagging
and throwing of the work piece.
• Jog the machine to start abrasive belt
tracking. A sudden full power start could
cause the belt to track off the machine
• DIRECT sparks away from face and body.
• Provide appropriate local exhaust. If
exhaust ventilation is not adequate, wear
approved dust protection to prevent
inhalation of dust particles.
• DO NOT mix metal swarf with wood,
plastic or rubber swarf in the same dust
collector to prevent a fire hazard.
• CONSULT with engineering/safety
personnel for flammability hazards.
• Make sure no one is standing in front or
back of the belt when starting machine.
• AVOID CONTACT with belt edge or
surface when it is in motion or severe cuts
and abrasions could result.
• Incorrect storage could affect safety as
well as product performance.
• DO NOT use belts with abnormally curled
shape.
• Check the sound of the running abrasive
belt. If a ticking sound or bumping noise
occurs, stop the machine and check for
possible belt or machine damage.
• STORE surface conditioning products at
temperatures below 150 F (65 C) and limit
exposure to water and high humidity.
• Abusive operations can cause belt to
break apart causing serious injury.
• REPLACE belts when damaged (kinked,
cracked, nicked, torn folded or containing
holes) or worn out.
• Sparks and particles flying off the product
can injure or cause fire.
• REMOVE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
FROM THE WORK AREA.
• STOP immediately if vibration or unusual
noises occur during use. Determine cause
and correct before continuing.
