Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure provides guidelines for the safe operation, setup, and maintenance of centreless grinders. Only trained personnel may operate this equipment. Pre-start checks include ensuring the work area is clear, the coolant system is functioning, and safeguards are in place. The use of compressed air to clean grinders is prohibited to prevent debris dispersal.

Setting up involves selecting appropriate feed settings, ensuring guards are installed, and maintaining a dressed wheel for optimal performance. During operation, work must be fed slowly to avoid wheel damage, and eye protection is mandatory. Grinding wheels must be stored flat, protected from damage, and inspected for cracks before use. Proper handling practices and the use of PPE, such as gloves and safety footwear, are essential to minimize risks of injury and equipment damage.
