Pedestal Grinder
1. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT INCLUDING AN APPROVED SAFETY
SHIELD AND/OR SAFETY GLASSES when using a grinder, even if the grinder is equipped
with protective glass shields. Ensure participants or observers are wearing personal
protective equipment.
2. Make certain your work area is clean and clear of debris.
3. Always check the CLEARANCE OF THE TOOL REST before starting work. Clearance
should never be more than 3mm or 1/8 inch. Always set the tool rest clearance when the
wheel is not in motion.
4. Always ensure a new grinding wheel has the CORRECT RPM RATING for the grinder it
is being installed on.
5. When mounting or replacing any grinding wheel, always ensure that it fits properly on the
shaft.
6. When installing the grinding wheel to the spindle, be certain the blotters are affixed to
both sides of the wheel and that washers and nuts are of the correct size and are
tightened securely.
7. When starting up any grinding wheel, STAND TO ONE SIDE out of line with the wheel.
8. Grind only on the face of the wheel. Use the entire face to avoid grooving the wheel.
9. Always FEED THE WORK TO THE WHEEL GRADUALLY. Too much pressure or
striking the wheel suddenly may cause it to fracture.
10. STOP THE GRINDER IMMEDIATELY IF IT BEGINS TO CHATTER OR VIBRATE.
NEVER USE TOOLS OR HANDS TO STOP ANY GRINDER.
AT ALL TIMES – IF IN DOUBT, SEE YOUR INSTRUCTOR
