After using a hand-held grinder, loose material should be removed with a brush or cloth to ensure cleanliness and safety in the workspace.
When finished grinding with a hand-held grinder, remove any loose material with a brush or a cloth. After grinding operations, loose debris such as metal filings, dust, and small particles can adhere to surfaces and pose a risk if not cleaned properly. Using a brush or cloth is essential to ensure that all the loose material is removed. This step is not just about cleanliness; it is also a safety measure to prevent any subsequent users of the tool or workspace from coming into contact with potentially harmful debris.
