The correct way to use an angle grinder
1. What is an electric angle grinder?
An electric angle grinder is a device that uses high-speed rotating lamella grinding wheels, rubber grinding wheels, wire wheels and other tools to process components, including grinding, cutting, rust removal and polishing. The angle grinder is suitable for cutting, grinding and polishing metal and stone. Do not add water when using it. When cutting stone, it is necessary to use a guide plate to assist the operation. Grinding and polishing work can also be performed if the appropriate accessories are installed on models equipped with electronic controls.
2. The following is the correct way to use an angle grinder:
Before using the angle grinder, you must hold the handle tightly with both hands to prevent it from slipping due to the torque generated when starting, to ensure the safety of the human body and the tool. Do not use the angle grinder without a protective cover. When using the grinder, please do not stand in the direction where the metal chips are generated to prevent the metal chips from flying and hurting your eyes. To ensure safety, it is recommended to wear protective glasses. When grinding thin plate components, the working grinding wheel should be lightly touched and no excessive force should be applied. Close attention must be paid to the grinding area to avoid excessive wear. When using the angle grinder, you should handle it with care. After use, you should immediately cut off the power or air source and place it properly. It is strictly forbidden to throw or even smash it.
3. The following are things you need to pay attention to when using an angle grinder:
1. Wear protective goggles. Workers with long hair must tie their hair up first. When using an angle grinder, do not hold small parts while processing them.
2. When operating, the operator should pay attention to whether the accessories are intact, whether the insulated cables are damaged, whether there is aging, etc. After completing the inspection, the power supply can be connected. Before starting the operation, wait for the grinding wheel to rotate stably before proceeding.
3. When performing cutting and grinding operations, there must be no people or flammable and explosive objects within one meter of the surrounding area. Do not operate in the direction of people to avoid personal injury.
4. If the grinding wheel needs to be replaced when using it, it should be done after cutting off the power supply to avoid accidentally touching the switch and causing personal injury.
5. After using the equipment for more than 30 minutes, you need to stop working and take a rest for more than 20 minutes until the equipment cools down before continuing to work. This can avoid equipment damage or work-related accidents caused by excessive temperatures during long-term use.
6. In order to avoid accidents, the equipment must be operated strictly in accordance with the usage specifications and instructions, and the equipment must be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that the equipment is not damaged and operates normally.
