DIE GRINDER SAFETY
Die grinders can cause flying particles.
Proper eye protection must be worn at all times by tool user and bystanders.
Flying particles can cause eye injury.
Power tools generate noise.
Ear protection must be worn when tool noise level exceeds 85 dBA. We also recommend that ear protection be worn when the
tool noise level is below 85 dBA. See the tool’s information sheet for the noise level.
Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Power tools vibrate.
Excessive vibration can cause injury. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a
physician. See the tool’s information sheet for the vibration level.
Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause injury.
Rotating grinding wheels can cause cuts and abrasions.
Keep hands and other body parts away from grinding wheels to prevent cutting or pinching. Wear protective clothing and gloves
to protect hands.
Contact with rotating grinding wheels can cause injury.
Die grinders present a risk of entanglement.
Keep loose hair away from power tools and accessories. Keep hands away from moving parts of the tool and accessories. Do
not wear jewelry, loose clothing, or neckwear around power tools. Keep work area clear of cleaning rags and all items that could

Exploding wheels can cause injury or death.
Excessive overhang reduces the safe operating speed of mounted wheels, causes wheels to “whip”, and shafts to bend.
When using die grinders, keep overhang to a minimum. Refer to enclosed “SAFETY GUIDE FOR SIOUX ABRASIVE WHEEL” for
speed and overhang information.
“Whipping” wheels and bent shafts can cause injury.
Die grinders can generate unexpected movement.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Be sure your body position allows you to have control of the tool at all times. Make sure
your footing is secure. When possible, secure the work piece in a vice or with clamps.
