See that the grinding wheel fits easily on the spindle. It is dangerous to force it on,
nor should it be too loose.
4.
Washers or flange facings or compressible material shall be fitted between the wheel
and its flanges. If blotting paper is used, it should not be thicker than .025 inch.
5.
After a wheel is mounted, allow it to develop full operating speed for at least one
minute; meanwhile, stand to one side and out of danger. Never apply the work until
this speed test has been made and the wheel has been properly dressed. Under no
conditions should the wheel revolve faster than the safe R.P.M. recommended by the
manufacturer, as shown on the label.
6.
Do not force work against a cold wheel, but apply it gradually, giving the wheel an
opportunity to warm, thus reducing the chance of breakage. This applies to starting
work in the mornings in cold rooms and to new wheels which have been stored in a
cold place.
7.
Wheel dressers, except the diamond type, shall be equipped with guards over the
tops of the cutters to protect flying pieces, broken cutters, or wheel particles.

Always Remember
1. Many paints, thinners, and other compounds can cause eye, skin, and lung irritation.
Follow all safety precautions and use proper equipment.
2.
Petroleum based compounds and liquids are flammable. Never use these materials
around an open flame. No smoking.
3.
Clean-up spills immediately. Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed skin.
4. A respirator is required when using lacquer as catalytic epoxy. It may be necessary
when working with any petroleum based product to wear a respirator.
5.
Know the location of safety and first aid supplies.
6. Know what to do in case of fire. Know the location of fire extinguishers and how
they work.
7.
Store and dispense flammable materials with great care. Keep the containers tightly
closed when not in use.
8.
Dispose of rags coated with flammable material in a metal container.
9.
Never pour flammable liquids into the sanitary sewer system.
10. Wear your approved respirator, safety glasses, and other protective equipment
required for the job. To be effective, protective equipment must fit properly and be
used when spraying.
11. Take good care of your personal protective equipment, keep it clean, store it
properly, inspect it frequently, and replace or repair if necessary.
12. Carefully check the condition of all equipment before its use each day.
13. Report all damage to and malfunctions of spraying equipment. Stop spraying
operations as soon as any potentially hazardous condition arises.
14. Be alert - check for adequate ventilation in spray booths or when spraying
operations are conducted indoors or in confined spaces.
15. Before operating electrostatic and airless painting equipment, ground the spray gun
and the object to be painted.

17. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when cleaning spraying
equipment.
18. Never point a spray gun at any part of your body or at anyone else.
19. When spraying:
a. Your job can make you ill...if you do not follow the proper safety procedures
and use your personal protective equipment.
b. Chemicals affect your health when you breathe their vapors, get them on your
skin, or ingest (eat) them. The breathing of excessive amounts of chemicals such
as acetone, amyl acetate, alcohols, trichloroethylene, ketone, turpentine, etc., may
produce effects such as drowsiness and lack of coordination. Other effects may
include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, or damage to the blood, lungs, liver
and kidneys.
c. Skin contact with these chemicals may produce irritation, rashes, and allergic
reactions.
d. The effect chemicals may have on your body depends on the type of chemical,
how it is used, and the amount of time you are exposed. Know the materials you
are using and the precautions you should take to avoid contact with them.
20. Fire and explosion hazards when spraying.
a. Most solvents such as alcohols, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and thinners
are a fire hazard. If flammable solvents such as these are used, proper
precautions must be taken to eliminate all sources of ignition, for example:
smoking, open flames, cutting or welding, or electrical, mechanical, static, or
friction sparks.
b. In all spraying operations, there is danger of spontaneous combustion. This
can occur if the residues from two or more types of coatings are permitted to
accumulate one on top of the other in the spray booth, exhaust duct, and filters.
An example of a dangerous combination is a lacquer containing nitrocellulose
with a finish containing drying oils (varnishes, oil-based stains, air-drying
enamels, and primers).
c. When the spraying operation involves the use of different coating materials
which might combine to ignite spontaneously, all deposits of the first material
must be removed with non-spark tools from the spray area, exhaust ducts, and
filters prior to using the second material.

21. The exhaust and collective system of the spray booth must be in operation during all
spraying and drying operation.
22. The entire exhaust system of the spray booth must be cleaned regularly to maintain
enough air flow within the spray area.
23. Too high an air pressure in the spray gun can contaminate adjacent work areas and
expose others to high vapor concentrations.
24. When spraying in a confined space, you must wear a supplied-air respirator and a
lifeline. There must be a standby worker to give you assistance in the event of trouble.
25. Accident prevention-inspections of the equipment should include the following:
a. Inspect all air and fluid hoses attached to spraying equipment for physical
damage, wear, and deterioration from chemicals and solvents. The inspection of
the fluid hose used with the airless spray should be particularly thorough as it is
subjected to very high pressures. The paint in the hose can be shot into your
body from tiny hose leaks, just as it can from the tip of the gun.
b. Check all hose connections for leaks.
c. The compressor for air supply should be checked to see that it is working
properly.
d. If you are working with airless spray, check to see that the spray gun and the
object being coated are both grounded.
e. To prevent electrical shock when using the electrostatic method check that:
1. the handle of the spray gun is electrically connected to a ground by a
metallic connection.
2.
All electrically conductive objects in the spraying area, including the
objects being coated, are grounded.
3.
The ventilation system is in operation.
26. You should be prepared to take the following emergency actions until medical aid
can be given.
a. Chemical burns to the skin:
1.
Quickly flood the affected area with large amounts of running water.
2. If the victim's clothing is soaked with the chemical, get him under
running water, remove the clothing, then wash off the chemical by
flushing with large quantities of water.
