The use of abrasive products is widespread amongst numerous industries, not least in any industry in which welding is common practice. Any time that any metals are welded together, there are burrs created at the point at which the metal is joined. These burrs protrude from the surface of the metals, and in order to remove them, abrasives for metal are used.
Resin bonded abrasive products should be used within 2 years of the manufacturing date. With proper storage in a dry area, away from solvents and extreme temperatures, they may last longer. Always inspect older products before use, and consider professional inspection or speed testing. Use older wheels first.
If your tool comes equipped with a guard, then yes, you need to use the guard when the machine is in use. You should never remove the guard from a machine that comes equipped with one for any reason as mentioned in the ANSI B7.7, Safety Requirements for Abrading Materials with Coated Abrasive Systems, states.
When using abrasive products, it is crucial to wear appropriate PPE, including:
Avoid loose clothing, jewellery, and ensure long hair is tied up.
