PROPER USE OF GRINDING WHEELS
|
|
|
|
Given the correct wheel, in accordance
with approved procedure, safe operation
depends largely on the treatment to which the wheel
is subject during use.
|
DO:
- Ensure that guards and work rests are properly adjusted
and secure before starting machine.
- Always use safety guard covering at least one half
the grinding wheel.
- Allow a newly mounted wheel to run at operation
speed with guard in place at least one minute before
starting to dress or grind.
- Always wear protective glasses or some type of protection
when grinding.
- Always dress or make grinding content gently.
- Re-dress the wheel when necessary.
- Turn off the coolant before stopping the wheel to
avoid creating an out of balance condition
DO NOT:
- Ever exceed the maximum operating speed established
for the wheel.
- Start the machine until the guard is in place.
- Stand directly in front of the wheel when the machine
is started.
- Jam the work into the wheel, not use excessive pressure
or infeed.
- Force grindings so that the motor slows noticeably
or the work gets hot.
- Grind on the side of the wheel (see ANSI B7.1 for
exception).
- Allow stationary wheels to rest in fluids.
- Apply pressure to wheels to stop them.
- Continuously use glazed wheels without dressing.
- Use wheels for purposes other than those for which
they are designed.
