29 CFR 1910.215(b)(9): Exposure adjustment. Safety guards of the types described in Subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this paragraph, where the operator stands in front of the opening, shall be constructed so that the peripheral protecting member can be adjusted to the constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The maximum angular exposure above the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle as specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section shall never be exceeded, and the distance between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue or the end of the peripheral member at the top shall never exceed one-fourth inch. (See Figures O-18, O-19, O-20, O-21, O-22, and O-23.) a. On or about July 11, 2018, in the cut and prep area, the abrasive wheel on the right side of the GE Cadet pedestal grinder (model: 100; S/N: 34943) did not have an adjustable tongue guard allowing for an opening of approximately seven-eighth inch between the abrasive wheel and the peripheral member.
