SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH CUTTING TOOLS-5

 Abrasives

• If the lathe is used for polishing, make sure that the machine is protected from the abrasive grains that fall from the polishing wheels during polishing. They can cause rapid wear of the precision parts.
• Do not rub fingers or hand across a piece that has just been polished by abrasive.
• Cuts and burns should always be treated immediately by using first aid facility.
• Always remove all the abrasive particles by washing them thoroughly after the polishing operation.
