Employee injured by flying abrasive wheel fragments

A coworker of Employee #1, the foreman, mounted a Target 6 in. abrasive cup wheel, rated at 6,050 rpm, on a Makita portable electric motor, rated at 6,000 rpm. The coworker plugged it into an outlet on a Snorkelift manlift, which put out 225 volts instead of 120 volts. When Employee #1 had the coworker activate it to demonstrate the problem, the cup wheel exploded and fragments struck Employee #1 in the face and body. There was no guard on the cup wheel.
