Projectile hazards
•
Always wear eye protection when operating or performing maintenance on this tool. The grade of protection required should be assessed
for each use. When operating this tool the minimum requirement is goggles or a full face shield over impact-resistant glasses with side
shields. Work conducted in close or confined spaces will require additional personal protective equipment.
•
Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vises to hold work piece whenever possible.
•
Failure of the workpiece, the rotating parts of the tool or accessory, or debris from the material being worked, can generate high-velocity
projectiles.
•
Before starting this tool and during operation, the operator shall pay attention that no bystanders are in the vicinity.
•
After installing an accessory, the Die Grinder shall be run in a protected enclosure, at gradually increasing speed, for at least 60 seconds.
Make certain no one is in front of or in line with the rotating accessory. Be aware that it may fail at this time if it is defective, improperly
mounted or the wrong size and speed. Stop immediately if considerable vibration or other defects are detected. Shut off the air supply and
determine the cause.
•
Do not use this tool if the actual free speed exceeds the rated rpm. Check the free speed of the tool before installing an accessory, after all
tool repairs, before each job and after every 8 hours of use. Check speed with a calibrated tachometer, without any accessory installed.
•
Do not use any accessory whose maximum operating speed, as defined by its manufacturer, is less than the rated speed of the tool.
•
Ensure that the accessory is correctly mounted and tightened before use.
•
To prevent excessive overhang, the shaft of the accessory shall be inserted to the full depth of the gripping jaws of the collet and the
resulting overhung length shall be no greater than the inserted depth.
•
Inspect collet, threads and nut for damage & wear prior to mounting accessory. Thread-on collets shall be securely seated against the driving
member.
Noise hazards
•
Always wear hearing protection when operating this tool.
•
Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling
or humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
•
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk from noise hazards may include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
•
If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is being operated.
•
Accessories should be selected, inspected, properly installed, maintained and replaced when worn to prevent an unnecessary increase in
noise.
Operating hazards
•
Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
•
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not overreach when operating this tool. Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion,
reaction torques, or forces during start up and operation. The operator should change posture during extended tasks, which can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
•
Use of the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards, including crushing, impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to
protect hands, however, ensure that the gloves do not restrict your ability to release the trigger or throttle mechanism.
•
Avoid contact with the working end of the tool and any accessory during and after use, as they can cause servere injury including burns,
abrasions and cuts.
•
Grinding sparks can ignite clothing and cause severe burns. Ensure sparks do not land on clothing. Wear fire-retardant clothing and have
suitable fire suppresive equipment nearby.
•
To avoid accidental starting - ensure tool is in "off " position before applying air pressure, avoid throttle when carrying, and release throttle
with loss of air.
•
Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel. Use only recommended lubricants.
•
Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
•
Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their motion after throttle is released.
•
When starting a cold wheel, apply it to the work slowly until the wheel gradually warms up. Make smooth contact with the work, and avoid
any bumping action or excessive pressure.
•
If the Die Grinder is dropped or bumped, turn off the air supply and carefully examine the accessory. Discard it if damaged, chipped or
cracked. Before reuse, run the Die Grinder in a protected enclosure following the same precautions used after first mounting.
•
Before the tool is put down, the throttle shall be released and the accessory shall come to a stop. Tool rests, hangers, and balancers are
recommended.
Additional Operating Hazards for Use of Cut-off Wheels (Type 1 and 41)
•
When cutting, support the workpiece so the slot is kept at constant or increasing width during the whole operation.
•
If the abrasive product gets jammed in a cut slot, shut off the grinder and ease the wheel free. Check that the wheel is still correctly secured
and not damaged before continuing the operation.
•
A cut-off wheel shall not be used for side grinding.
Accessory hazards
•
Use only sizes and types of accessories that are recommended by the tool manufacturer; do not use other types or sizes of accessories.
