Safety Guide for Grinding Wheels UAMA
Member companies of the Unified Abrasives Manufacturers Association (UAMA) have adopted a standardized set of safety icons to be used on portable abrasive grinding and cutting wheels The purpose is to have a standard set of icon based safety symbols to be used across North America, regardless of manufacturer DOs for grinding wheel safety DO check all wheels for cracks or other damage before mounting DO make sure the machine speed does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel DO use an ANSI B71 wheel guard Position it so it protects the operatorDOs and DON'Ts for Grinding Wheel Safety RexCut Safety in gas welding, cutting and similar processes Page 6 of 11 Backfires and flashbacks Backfires A backfire is when the flame burns back into the torch, often with a sharp bang This may happen when the torch is held too close to the workpiece, or if the nozzle is partly blocked The flame may go out or it may reignite at the nozzleSafety in gas welding, cutting and similar processes
