Safety Recommendations
For your safety and the safety of others, read and under­stand the safety recommendations before operating any grinder.
Always wear protective equipment and clothing.
!
WARNING
Wear respirator where necessary.
WARNING!
Impact resistant eye protection must be worn while operating or working near this tool.
Caution: Faceshields do not provide unlimited protection against flying particles and are not to be considered as eye protection. ANSI Z87.1 states that separate eyewear shall be used. For additional information on eye protection, refer to Federal OSHA Regulations, 29 CFR, Section 1910.133, Eye and Face Protection, and ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection. This standard is available from the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd street, New York, NY 10036.
CAUTION!
Personal hearing protection is recommended when operating or working near this tool.
Hearing protection is recommended in high noise areas (above 85 dBA). Close proximity of additional tools, reflec­tive surfaces, process noises, and resonant structures can substantially contribute to the sound level experienced by the operator. Proper hearing conservation measures, in­cluding annual audiograms and training in the use and fit of hearing protection devices may be necessary. For addi­tional information on hearing protection, refer to Federal OSHA Regulations, 29 CFR, Section 1910.95, Occupa­tional Noise Exposure, and American National Standards Institute, ANSI S12.6, Hearing Protectors.
Grinding or other use of this tool may produce hazardous fumes and/or dust. To avoid adverse health effects utilize adequate ventilation and/or a respirator. Read the material safety data sheet of any materials involved in the grinding process.
Cleco grinders are designed to operate on 90 psig (6.2 bar) max. air pressure. If the tool is properly sized and applied, higher air pressure is unnecessary. Excessive air pressure increases the loads and stresses on the tool parts and may result in breakage. Installation of a filter-regulator-lubrica­tor in the air supply line is highly recommended.
Never use the air hose for supporting, lifting, or lowering the tool. Use a safety line or cable on the tool when working in elevated areas.
Before tool is connected to air supply, check throttle for proper operation, i.e., throttle moves freely and returns to closed position. Be careful not endanger adjacent person­nel, clear air hose of accumulated dust and moisture. Use protective barriers where necessary — hot sparks can burn. Barriers also help reduce noise levels. Before removing tool from service or changing accessories, make sure air line is shut off and drained of air to prevent the tool from operating if the throttle is accidently engaged. The use of a self-relieving valve for this purpose is highly recom­mended.
WARNING!
Do not operate without proper wheel guard in place.
• Gloves and other protective clothing should be worn as required.
• Do not wear clothing that may restrict movement, become entangled or in any way interfere with the safe operation of grinders.
2
The wheel guard is designed to prevent serious injury to the operator in the event of wheel failure and must not be modified in any way. Any wheel guard that is damaged or bent must be replaced.
NOTE: The grinder must be held so that the opening in the guard is away from the operator.
Safety Recommendations
The guard must be securely attached to the grinder with all bolts, nuts and lockwashers in place and torqued to 30 to 40 in. lbs.

OVER
The speed rating and warnings are roll stamped on housing and should be replaced for legibility in the event or damage. Warning tags and warning labels should be maintained. Warning tags and warning labels are available from the manufacturer.
Before mounting a wheel, after all tool repairs, and when­ever a grinder is issued for use, check the free speed of the grinder with a tachometer to make certain that the actual free speed at 90 psig (6.2 bar) does not exceed the rated free speed stamped on the tool. Grinders in use on the job must be similarly checked at least once every twenty hours of operation, or once every week, whichever is more frequent. Checking free speed after the removal of each worn wheel and before mounting a new wheel is highly recommended.
INSPECT THE GRINDING WHEEL!
Check the maximum safe RPM marked on the wheel.
Never use a wheel rated below the actual tool speed.
Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips, water stains, or signs of abuse or improper storage. Cracked, chipped or faulty
grinding wheels are dangerous and must not be used.
They must be destroyed rather than risk their use by someone who may not notice that they are damaged.
• Improper mounting
• Imbalance
• Improper shipment or storage
• Exposure to water, solvents, high humidity,
freezing and extreme temperatures
• Mismatched speed ratings
• Age
Abrasive wheels known to have been subjected to any of the above conditions can burst violently. Never use an abrasive wheel known to have been subjected to any of the above conditions.

On Type 1 wheel grinders, the driv­ing flanges must be the relieved-type, free of nicks and burrs or other flaws that might create stress concentra­tions on the grind­ing wheel.
Spindles should be checked for damage or abuse. Blotters must be used and be at least as large in diameter as the flanges. Diameters of both driving flange and outer flange must be identical and both must measure at least one-third the diameter of the grinding wheel mounted between them. Both flanges must be properly relieved as per ANSI Safety Code B7.1 and ANSI B186.1. (See page 6)
Select Type 1 wheels with proper hole size and speed rating. Never adapt wheels with an oversize hole to fit the spindle.
ABRASIVE WHEEL MOUNTING & BEGINNING GRIND­ING OPERATION
WARNING!
Fragments from an abrasive wheel can cause serious injury or death.
Do not operate without proper wheel guard in place.
Causes of abrasive wheel failures have been traced to such factors as:
• Dropping, bumping, or abuse (careless handling of the grinder or wheel)
The spindle end nut should be tightened firmly against the outer flange of Type 1 wheels to assure the necessary friction against the blotter faces to drive the wheel.
Overtightening can cause wheel

exposure to extended vibration. Cumulative trauma disor­ders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis may be caused or aggravated by repetitious, forceful exertions of the hands and arms. Vibration may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome. These disorders develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, and years. It is presently unknown to what extent exposure to vibrations or repetitive motions may contribute to the disor­ders. Hereditary factors, vasculatory or circulatory prob­lems, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are thought to contribute to the conditions. Any tool operator should be aware of the following warning signs and symptoms so that a problem can be addressed

before it becomes a debilitating injury. Any user suffering prolonged symptoms of tingling, numbness, blanching of fingers, clumsiness or weakened grip, nocturnal pain in the hand, or any other disorder of the shoulders, arms, wrists, or fingers is advised to consult a physician. If it is deter­mined that the symptoms are job related or aggravated by movements and postures dictated by the job design, it may be necessary for the employer to take steps to prevent further occurrences. These steps might include, but are not limited to, repositioning the workpiece or redesigning the workstation, reassigning workers to other jobs, rotating jobs, changing work pace, and/or changing the type of tool used so as to minimize stress on the operator. Some tasks may require more than one type of tool to obtain the optimum operator/tool/task relationship.
The following suggestions will help reduce or moderate the effects of repetitive work motions and/or extended vibration exposure:
Use a minimum hand grip force consistent with proper control and safe operation

wrist trauma. Since they vary widely in design, material, thickness, vibration reduction, and wrist support qualities, it is recommended that the glove, tool wrap, or wrist support manufacturer be consulted for items designed for your specific application. WARNING! Proper fit of gloves is
important. Improperly fitted gloves may restrict blood flow to the fingers and can substantially reduce grip strength.
USE QUALITY ABRASIVE WHEELS
The primary source of vibration when using a portable grinder is an abrasive wheel that is out of balance, out of round, untrue, or possibly any combination of all three.
The use of quality abrasive wheels which are well bal­anced, round, and true is highly recommended as they have been found to significantly reduce vibration. Some abrasive wheels lose their balance, roundness, and true­ness as they wear from use. Because of the abusive nature of the vibration caused by out of balance, out of round, and untrue condition of some abrasive wheels, it is felt that these wheels are more susceptible to failure. Excessive vibration may signal eminent wheel failure. Flat spotting of the abrasive wheel, caused by grinding the wheel to a stop after the power has been shut off can result in changes to the balance and shape of the wheel. Be sure the grinding wheel has stopped before setting the tool down. Set the tool in a tool rest or tool holder when not in use.
WIRE BRUSHES
If a grinder is used for wire brushing applications the same problems of balance, roundness, and trueness as experi­enced with abrasive wheels prevail. Use quality wire brushes. Wire brushes must be kept clean and stored properly to prevent bending, damage and corrosion. Ex­cessive bending of wires during brushing causes breakage and flying wires. Wear full face protection, use guard and exercise caution.
USE A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
when the grinder is running and contribute to the vibration. Rotor blades that are worn or chipped can lock up motor and result in grinding wheel spinoff and should be replaced. Rotor blades should be checked periodically and replaced if they measure less than 7/32" (5.5mm) at either end.
Must be replaced if 7/32" (5.6mm) or less at either end.
Proper repair procedures and the use of original Cleco service parts and bearings rather than substitutes will return the tool to factory specifications of precision and balance, and minimize vibration.
The governor should be checked periodically to be sure the governor mechanism is clean, in good operating condition, and functioning properly.
PROPER LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recom­mended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regu­larly checked and filled with a good grade of 10W machine oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
STORAGE
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time and run for several seconds to distribute the oil before disconnecting from the air supply. This will reduce the possibility of corrosion and displace any water that may be trapped in the tool. Water trapped in the tool could cause the governor to freeze and malfunction if tool is exposed to freezing temperatures.
Tool abuse or poor maintenance procedures can amplify and contribute to the vibration produced by the abrasive wheel. A preventive maintenance program featuring sched­uled periodic inspections and proper maintenance is the best way to assure safety in your portable grinding opera­tions. A well managed program can, for example, detect such things as speed variations due to wear, flanges or spindles that have been damaged from abuse, or bad bearings damaged by foreign matter or lack of lubrication. Problems such as these can affect the wheel trueness
Note: Water in the air system increases tool maintenance costs and can cause the tool to malfunction when it is stored and/or operated in freezing conditions.
