Varieties of safety glasses

GOST 12.4.253-2013 there are two basic design types of safety glasses for operation with grinders and other types of manual power tools: open and closed. In addition, the first type is divided into two subspecies: with and without side protection. The open goggles are designed for dust-free operation, so the space underneath is freely ventilated and they do not fog up. The side protection is designed to prevent particles flying parallel to the face of the angle grinder from reaching the operator’s eyes. This part is usually made of the same material as the front lens in order to ensure better visibility during work (see Operating Instructions No. 505). photo above).

Closed goggles superficially resemble a diving mask. They fully protect the eyes against dust and aggressive fumes produced by the angle grinder when working on rocks and plastics, but without special coatings are prone to fogging and are less comfortable. Inside of such glasses the air enters through special valves, which must be carefully cleaned after continuous work. On the head of the operator of angle grinder open glasses are held by springy temples, which, according to the regulations must be adjustable in length. In addition, some models have a swivel mounting of the sight glass, which allows tilting it in the process of work at a comfortable angle. Closed ones are fixed on the head with an elastic band or an elastic rim, the width of which, according to GOST, must be at least 10 mm. In the photo below: left. open goggles for angle grinder with side protection, right. closed with valves.

In the past, tempered glass was widely used as the material for sight lenses in personal eye-protectors, including hardened glass (in the form of triplex). Now it is used much more seldom, and shockproof plastics are now the main materials. They are 40% lighter than glass and have almost the same optical properties. It is recommended to use eye protection with polycarbonate lenses when working with grinders. This material has the highest impact and thermal resistance among optical plastics. Its main drawback is clouding under prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation and a tendency to form scratches in the course of work under the influence of flying metal and abrasive particles.

The first problem is solved by applying on the surface of the lens coating that protects against UV radiation, or adding to the polycarbonate still at the production stage of special stabilizing additives. To solve the second, the outer surface of the sight glass is covered with a protective layer of increased hardness. safety goggles with other plastics, which include the well-known plexiglass (plexiglass, acrylic resin) and acetylcellulose (CA plastic), when working with an angle grinder is better not to use, because. к. they are much less impact resistant. Picture below shows a piece of cut-off blade of an angle grinder stuck in a polycarbonate lens.

Which is better: goggles or mask

In addition to goggles, protective masks (transparent face shields) are used for work with the angle grinder to protect not only the eyes but also the entire face area down to the chin and ears. This type of personal protective equipment has a number of undeniable advantages, the main of which is complete protection of the face from flying particles. This is especially important when working with an angle grinder in confined spaces, when metal and abrasive particles ricochet and get in the face from different directions. Another positive feature of face shields is the practically total absence of optical distortions which are more or less characteristic of all glasses and goggles. That is why many people prefer this type of protection when working continuously with an angle grinder for long periods of time. One of the disadvantages, or rather limitations, of the use of face shields is a free penetration of dust and vapors under them. That is why they cannot be used for grinding stone, concrete or ceramics with an angle grinder. In addition, face shields are much more massive and heavier than glasses and have the same quality of optical material and higher price. There is no point in arguing over which of these PPE is better and more comfortable, because. к. Each of them is used for certain types of works and certain situations. And in some cases the operators of lathes use them together, and some manufacturers even produce special face shields, attached to closed goggles (see the. photo below).

Protective mask

Another means of safety when working with an angle grinder is a protective mask. It can be reinforced with a special mesh, which makes it stronger. Such a mask is much better than glasses, because it protects not only the eyes, but also the rest of the face.

The main cause of injury is the splitting of the saw blade. Its splinters, flying with great speed, can injure not only the person working with the angle grinder, but also people nearby.

Principles of safe work

Having personal protective equipment certainly reduces the risk of injury when using an angle grinder. But other safety requirements must also be noted.

  • Protective cover. This device should always be on the angle grinder. Some careless operators remove the protection in order to put on a wheel with a larger diameter, which is not designed to work with this angle grinder. Sometimes the guard is removed in cases where you need to use an angle grinder at an awkward angle. Such actions are not permissible. Of course, the protective cover does not give a hundred percent safety, but in most cases it will prevent injury. Recently at the protective cover for angle grinder appeared a useful modification. It is called dust extraction. The name says it clearly. it helps to direct the dust particles away from the operator, making the job much easier.
  • Hand protection. To prevent sparks and red-hot metal particles on the skin of the hands it is recommended to use special welding sleeves. Small sparks on the skin do not cause obvious pain. But when a large burning particle hits, it causes severe pain. At this point, the hand can wobble, thereby creating an injurious situation. Hats help to avoid the red-hot metal to hands.
  • Choice of abrasive wheel. Only use a wheel suitable for the angle grinder. If you use a wheel with a diameter larger than the given, it may split without even making contact
  • with the object of the saw. The fact that different models of angle grinder have different revolutions, and abrasive wheels have different revolutions.
  • Also discs with visible external defects such as chips, deep scratches or cracks should not be used.
  • It is forbidden to mount a disk for sawing wooden products on the angle grinder. Firstly, it is dangerous. the saw blade can meet a knot, and the tool can tear from hands because of it. Secondly, the blade will soon become unusable, because it is not designed for this kind of work. к. It is not designed for this kind of work. The speed of the circular saw is much lower than that of the angle grinder.
  • The object of sawing. If the machined element is small, you need to secure it with something. The best option would be to use a vise. Never saw with one hand and hold the product with the other. In this case, the sawing element can be ripped out of your hands.

If the saw is large and the workpiece is stationary, ensure that the disc does not bite. General rules:

  • Always unplug the angle grinder when changing the disc. This is to prevent accidental start.
  • When selecting a sanding disc, it is best to choose a blade from a reputable manufacturer.
  • When working, keep the power cord away from the saw blade.
  • When using an angle grinder, do not allow hair or clothing to become caught in the rotating disc.

Polishing ceramic tiles

In construction, the angle grinder is the leader among the tools. Use special wheels and nozzles to cut and polish ceramic tiles, preparing them for installation. Requires a special consumable on the diamond grinder angle grinder, because cutting ceramics usual cutting wheel will lead to breakage or cracking in the tile.

The dry-cutting tile discs are divided into segmented and solid discs. Both types do not need constant cooling. that’s why they get their name.

Continuous discs only cool down after 1-2 minutes of work by dipping the disc into cold water. The segmented type cools itself by cutting, but they are not always suitable for cutting ceramic tiles due to the formation of chips on the surface of the material. Segmented or solid discs cut ceramic material and any natural stone. Sometimes with quality work it is possible to cut paving tiles without deformation with a household angle grinder or to process the edge part of the cut.

Cutting in a straight line

Unlike cutting wood, ceramic is a fragile and demanding material that deforms easily under high loads. That is why discs are preselected according to the density of the stone. Speed should be higher than with low-density materials.

The most effective way to cut ceramic tiles is to use 115 mm circles at about 6-8 thousand rpm. Not every household angle grinder has such power, so you have to find a tool with the necessary characteristics.

The procedure when working with the material is divided into several stages:

  • Lay the tile on a flat surface with a clamp fastened to it, and mark it in the cutting area.
  • Cutting begins gradually along the surface of the entire tile. At first you need to make a 1-1,5 mm deep groove, gradually increasing it.
  • Move the angle grinder during the cutting evenly and slowly. No pressure should be applied to the machine, because it goes deeper into the tile under its own weight.
  • It doesn’t make sense to cut the material all the way through. Most often, a nail is placed under the tile and simply pressed to break it.

Metal processing with angle grinder

To treat metal with an angle grinder is the most difficult. This is mainly due to the large amount of red-hot sparks that appear when cutting this material. Work only when wearing flame retardant gloves. In addition, you should clean the work area of objects that can catch fire if sparks are struck.

Cutting metal requires care, patience and basic skills. This will help keep the angle grinder in the weight, which will prevent jerking and sucking the disc into the hole.

When cutting metal products, a number of rules should be observed:

  • All workpieces are securely clamped and stripped of any rust.
  • It is best to cool the metal before you start cutting.
  • The disc can jam the workpiece, so it is better to gradually increase the depth of cut.
  • There is no need to push the angle grinder, because it easily cuts under its own weight.

Angle grinder. it is an indispensable assistant in any household or large construction works. It helps to machine any material with minimum effort and time. Beginning experience and tips are sufficient for successful manipulation with this tool. The main thing is to observe safety while working, which will help to avoid serious injuries.
