Description:<br>
Angle Grinders are powerful electric motors mounted to a 90deg gearbox. This allows the working tool to be easily manipulated and applied to the work. They typically have a 5/8" arbor, on which you mount cutoff wheels, small grinding wheels, wire wheels, sanding disks, and various other spinny type things. <br>
== Safe Operation ==
To avoid accidents, the following operational safety rules must be observed by everyone working on the Pumping Station: One (PS:One) angle grinder. Failure to follow the safety rules may result in a loss of shop privileges.<br>
<br>
=== Start With A Risk Assessment To Ensure A Safe Work Area: ===
1. Angle grinders typically throw sparks when cutting metal. Make sure that there's nothing flammable in the direction sparks will fly. This includes your clothing.<br>
2. Make sure your work is properly secured. The workpiece should be in a vice, or heavy enough that it won't move without your intending for it to move. The angle grinder has approximately 2/3 of a horsepower coming from it, so it can, and will, make things move.<br><br>
=== Instructions and rules for using the grinder: ===
1. Keep both hands on the grinder. It has two handles for a reason.<br>
2. Do not remove the safety guard. It can be rotated, but it should not be removed unless a buffing pad is being used.<br>
3. Do not set the grinder down with the wheel down. If it accidentally gets turned on, it will run away, or worse, run towards you. <br>
4. Wait until the wheel has stopped spinning before you set the grinder down.<br>
=== Maintnance and replacement of parts ===
Always return the grinder to it's box. <br>
Spare parts and wheels are stored in the box with the grinder.<br>
<br>
Replacing a wheel on the grinder:<br>
1. unplug the grinder<br>
2. depress the spindle locking button on the grey section of the grinder<br>
3. use spanner wrench to loosen the retaining nut<br>
4. remove and replace accessory disk. (some disks don't use the nut, such as wire wheels.)<br>
