If you using pedestal grinder you must following safety procedures:
• Fasten pedestal and bench grinders securely.
• Ensure all the guards are in place and secure before using a grinder.
• Adjust tool rests to within 3 mm (1/8 in.) of wheels. Never adjust rests while wheels are moving. Work   rest height should be on horizontal centre line of the machine spindle.
• Maintain 6 mm (1/4 in.) wheel exposure with a tongue guard or a movable guard.
• Check that wheels have blotters on each side.
• Check the wheel fits properly to the spindle when mounting. If it is loose, get another wheel.
• Stand to one side of the grinder until the wheel reaches operating speed.
• Bring work into contact with the grinding wheel slowly and smoothly, without bumping.
• Apply gradual pressure to allow the wheel to warm up evenly. Use only the pressure required to complete a job.
• Move the work back and forth across the face of the wheel. This movement prevents grooves from forming.
• Wheels are made only for grinding certain items. Do not grind rough forgings on a small precision grinding wheel.
• Dress wheels regularly. Do frequent, light dressings rather than one heavy dressings.
• Support dressing tools so you can apply leverage without undue effort. With revolving cutter dressing tools use the lugs as anchors.
• Replace worn wheels if you cannot dress it.
• Ensure the grinder speed does not exceed the operating speed marked on the wheel.
• Visually inspect wheels for possible damage before mounting.
• Wear gloves only where necessary
