| SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
INHALATION ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS:
DUST MAY BE SLIGHTLY IRRITATING TO EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT AT HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS.
INHALATION CHRONIC EXPOSURE EFFECTS:
CHRONIC: MAY AFFECT BREATHING CAPACITY.
FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING PHENOL/FORMALDEHYDE RESIN, DUST GENERATED FROM
INTENDED USE MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF PHENOL AND FORMALDEHYDE WHICH
UNDER EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION AND AIRWAY
OBSTRUCTION.
FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING INORGANIC FLUORIDES:
EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO INORGANIC FLUORIDES HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO INCREASE BONE
DENSITY.
EYE CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS: DUST MAY IRRITATE EYES.
SKIN CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS:
SOME MAY EXPERIENCE SKIN IRRITATION FROM DUST.
INGESTION ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS:
NO KNOWN ADVERSE EFFECTS, BUT INGESTION NOT RECOMMENDED.
| SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH AFFECTED AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
EYE CONTACT:
WASH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. OBTAIN FIRST AID AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE,
IF NEEDED.

CLEAN-UP: FOLLOW NORMAL CLEAN UP PROCEDURES.
| SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
ALWAYS HANDLE AND STORE WHEELS IN A CAREFUL MANNER.
ALWAYS VISUALLY INSPECT ALL WHEELS BEFORE MOUNTING.
ALWAYS CHECK MACHINE SPEED AGAINST THE ESTABLISHED MAXIMUM SAFE OPERATING
SPEED MARKED ON THE WHEEL.
ALWAYS CHECK MOUNTING FLANGES FOR EQUAL AND CORRECT DIAMETER.
ALWAYS USE MOUNTING BLOTTERS.
ALWAYS BE SURE WORK REST IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED.
ALWAYS USE A SAFETY GUARD COVERING AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF THE GRINDING WHEEL.
ALWAYS ALLOW NEWLY MOUNTED WHEELS TO RUN AT OPERATING SPEED, WITH GUARD IN
PLACE, FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE BEFORE GRINDING.
ALWAYS TURN OFF COOLANT BEFORE STOPPING WHEEL TO AVOID CREATING AN
OUT-OF-BALANCE WHEEL
| SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
VENTILATION PROTECTION:
RECOMMEND USING LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION WHEN GENERAL VENTILATION IS NOT
KEEPING THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION BELOW THE TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORS ARE REQUIRED WHEN AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT LEVELS EXCEED THE
TLV(S).
EYE PROTECTION:
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR SOME TYPE OF EYE PROTECTION WHEN GRINDING.
OTHER PROTECTION:
USE OF THIS PRODUCT MAY CREATE ELEVATED SOUND LEVELS. HEARING PROTECTION
SHOULD BE WORN WHERE REQUIRED (SEE OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 AND OTHER

GRINDING WHEEL COMPONENTS. COOLANTS MAY PRODUCE OTHER DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS.
FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING PHENOL AND FORMALDEHYDE RESIN, THERMAL
DECOMPOSITION MAY PRODUCE TRACE AMOUNTS OF PHENOL AND FORMALDEHYDE.
FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING INORGANIC FLUORIDES, THERMAL DECOMPOSITION MAY
PRODUCE TRACE AMOUNTS OF FLUORIDES.
