other rotating equipment. Serious injury or death may occur
if minimum safety precautions are not understood, and
obeyed by operators and those other persons who may be
in the immediate vicinity of the subject equipment. Persons
who operate or are in the immediate vicinity of the subject
equipment must be properly trained in, and use, minimum
safety precautions and procedures for such machinery.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS
GRINDING GLOVES, HEARING PROTECTION, AND
SAFETY GLASSES MUST BE WORN WHEN USING THIS
EQUIPMENT. CHECK WITH YOUR COMPANY'S SAFETY
OFFICER FOR OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
NEVER USE THIS EQUIPMENT IF YOU ARE NOT
PROPERLY TRAINED IN ITS OPERATION AND SAFE
USE! IF IN DOUBT STOP AND ASK FOR GUIDANCE!
MINIMUM SAFETY REQUIREMENTS TO OPERATE, OR
WORK IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY SUBJECT EQUIPMENT:
1. Read and understand all operating instructions,
manuals, labels, and other information
provided with the equipment.
2. Install the equipment according to
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Electrical installation must be in accordance
with applicable codes and regulations.
4. Securely bolt the equipment to a rigid,
structurally sound mounting surface.
5. Don't expose the grinder to rain, or use the
grinder in damp or wet locations. Don't use the
grinder if the power cord is damaged or wet.
6. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Non-skid
footwear is recommended when working with
the grinder. Wear protective hair coverings to
contain long hair. Wear proper safety equipment
and clothing to protect eyes, hands, face, arms,
legs, feet, and body from ying debris, forcibly
ejected work pieces and broken abrasive belts.
7. Use safety glasses. Everyday eyewear does
not have impact resistance lenses.
8. Do not use this equipment when tired, ill or
under the in uence of alcohol or other drugs.
9. Review and understand all machine
guards, adjustments, and points of
exposure to potential injury.
10. Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise alter,
equipment guards and other safety features.
11. The use of stone or vitreous wheels on any OREGON
belt grinder is prohibited. The grinder guarding
is not suitable for these types of wheels.
12. Ensure the machine is adjusted and remains adjusted
according to manufacture's requirements.
13. Maintain the equipment in good operating condition.
14. Have another person who is knowledgeable in

15. Always wear gloves and use work piece
holding devices when ever possible that
diminish the possibility that persons will come
in contact with moving machine pieces, or
spark/debris output from the machine.
16. Always keep electrical cords clear of rotating
parts and belts when in motion.
17. Do not use the grinder near ammable liquids or
gases. Sparks from the grinder can cause res.
18. Use spark and debris arresting apparatus. Such
apparatus should be connected to the machine
so as to contain dust and debris that is generated,
and to suppress sparks thereby limiting human
inhalation risk, and the risk of re or explosion.
19. Use appropriate inhalation apparatus to protect
person from ingestion and/or inhalation of
sparks, debris, smoke, particulates, etc.
20. Avoid mixing di erent metals, alloys, and
materials. To mix such materials might
create a re or explosion hazard.
21. Protect persons from work pieces, particulates, etc.
that could be forcibly ejected from the machine. For
example, a bu ng wheel or grinding belt can "grab"
a work piece while the work piece is being bu ed,
polished, ground, or otherwise conditioned, resulting
in forcible ejection toward the operator or those in
the vicinity of the machine. The use of leather aprons,
gloves, and eye shields are examples of protective
gear that may be e ective. In general do not grind,
bu , or otherwise engage the traveling belt, wheel,
or disc surface with the work piece pointing into
the direction from which the belt, wheel, or disc is
traveling. However, if you choose to do so, be aware
the work piece may lodge in the traveling belt, wheel,
or disc and be forcibly and dangerously ejected.
22. Do not operate this machine if the gap (nip
point) between a moving belt, wheel or disc, and
the work support surface exceeds 1/8 inch.
23. Do not operate this machine if the gap between
the moving abrasive belt, disc or wheel and the
adjacent face of the work rest (or table) will permit
passage of the work piece through the gap (nip
