Series SC and XC Grinders are designed for close--quarter work in the metal fabricating

industry, shipyards, pipe fabrication, die and mold manufacturing and limited space

applications. They are particularly good where conduits, pipes, ducts etc. pass through

bulkheads or frames. These small Grinders are very efficient at grinding weld bead and leaving

a fine finish.

-- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products, and

-- arsenic and chromium from chemically

treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopic

particles.

Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or

ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective

Equipment.
