🔍 Key Concepts

• Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements when using grinders • Safe operating practices for bench grinders and dressing tools • Why eye and face protection is critical around grinding operations

💭 Think About

• Think about what hazards are created when truing up a grinding wheel (flying particles, sparks, fragments). Which choice directly reduces that risk? • Which option, if done, would clearly violate normal grinder setup or safe-use procedures for a wheel and tool rest? • Of the four choices, which one is a standard safety requirement almost every time you operate a grinder, regardless of what attachment or tool you’re using?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which actions are always required, not just in special conditions • Eliminate any options that would make the grinder less safe or less controllable • Focus on the option that directly protects against chips and fragments from the grinding wheel
