SFG10E ELECTRIC SURFACE GRINDER — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (07/16/07) — PAGE 27
b. Higher material removal rates can sometimes be
achieved by making a series of shallow passes 90
degrees to each other to form a waffle like pattern.
This technique is especially useful when removing
deeper accumulations of rubber, paint, dirt debris,
etc. from industrial floors.
5) The grinding process on many work surface materials
can produce sparks, dust and other foreign particle
contamination.

SPARKS PRODUCED BY THE ACTIONS OF MULTI-
ACCESSORY OPTIONS AGAINST THE WORK
SURFACE (FOR EXAMPLE: STRIKING ANCHOR
BOLTS) MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH MATERIALS
THAT CAN RESULT IN A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION.
THIS OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

THE CREATION OF DUST AND OTHER FOREIGN
PARTICLE CONTAMINATION FROM THE
OPERATIONAL PROCESS CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
FOR SUCH OPERATING CONDITIONS, ALWAYS
WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST/MIST
RESPIRATOR. CONSULT APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
6) Dust and other particle contamination can be controlled
by the following methods:
a) The SURFACE GRINDER is equipped with a 3 inch
outside diameter vacuum tube adaptor located at
the rear of the machine. An industrial type vacuum
system and front shield assembly can be attached
to the SURFACE GRINDER to remove/control dust
and other particle contamination from the work
surface. A hose clamp is sometimes required to
properly secure the vacuum hose to the vacuum
tube. FIGURE 39.

ALWAYS UTILIZE A VACUUM SYSTEM DESIGNED TO
OPERATE WITHIN THE SPECIFIC JOB SITE REQUIRE-
MENT. DUST MATERIAL CAN MEET CLASS II OR
CLASS III SPECIFICATIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELEC-
TRIC CODE® FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATION
CLASSIFICATIONS. CONSIDERATION MUST ALSO BE
GIVEN TO THE CREATION OF HAZARDOUS TYPE
MATERIALS REQUIRING SPECIFIC DISPOSAL PRO-
CEDURES. DETERMINE THAT THE VACUUM SYSTEM
IS PROPERLY DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITHIN THESE
ATMOSPHERES. CONSULT CURRENT NATIONAL
ELECTRIC CODE®, OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC
INFORMATION.
b) Water/sand slurry mixture applied directly to the
work surface can be an effective method of
reducing the effects of grinding and other material
removal processes. This method can be a
productive alternative when removing adhesives
containing asbestos. A negative effect of this
method is that the water/sand slurry mixture can
be classified as a hazardous material, requiring
proper disposal procedures.
7) Normal usage of the SURFACE GRINDER will allow
the build-up and accumulation of work surface materials
on interior surfaces. It is highly recommended that both
the interior and exterior surfaces be properly cleaned
after the completion of each usage.
