SAFETY OF CUTTING TOOL PRODUCTS

1. Use of Cutting Tool Productsy

Packages of Mitsubishi products carry a safety warning label. However, tools are not labeled with detailed warning instructions. Please read the "Safety of Cutting Tool Products" in this catalog before handling cutting tool products and cemented carbide materials. Moreover, as a part of your workers' safety education, please notify the contents of the "Safety of Cutting Tool Products" to all workers.

3. Safety of Cutting Tool Productsy

uHard tool materials have a large specific gravity. Thus, they require special attention as heavy materials when the size or quantity is large. uHard tool materials generates dust and mist during grinding operations or heating. This dust and mist can be harmful to the human body when coming in contact with the eyes or skin, or if substantial quantities are swallowed. When grinding and machining, it is recommended to use local exhaust ventilation and respirators, a dust protective mask, glasses, gloves and so on. If dust makes contact with the hands, thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and water. Don't eat in the exposed area, and wash hands thoroughly before eating. Remove dust from the clothing by a cleaner or washing, but don't shake off. uCobalt dust can affect the skin, respiratory organs and heart through repeated or prolonged contact. uFor further information, please refer to SDS (Safety Data Sheet).

4. Handling Cutting Tool Productsy

uSurface conditions affect toughness of cutting tools. Therefore, use a diamond grinding wheel for finishing. uHard tool materials are extremely hard and brittle at the same time. Thus, they may be broken by shock and tightening with excess force. uHard tool materials and ferrous materials have different thermal expansion ratios. Shrinkage or swell fit products may suffer from cracks when applied temperature is higher or lower than the appropriate temperature for the tool. uPay special attention regarding storing hard tool materials. Toughness of hard tool materials is lowered when they corrode due to coolant and other liquid. uWhen brazing hard tool materials, if the temperature is too high or too low from the melting point of the brazing material, loosening and breakage may occur. uAfter regrinding cutting tools, make sure that there are no cracks. uMachining hard tool materials on EDM may cause cracks on the surface due to remaining electrons resulting in lowering the toughness. Eliminate cracks by grinding, etc.
