parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged must be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center to
avoid risk of personal injury.
• Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Nor-
mal sparking of the motor or sparking from
grinding metal could ignite fumes.
• Never start the grinder when the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.
• Secure work. Always hold workpiece firmly
against the work table.
• Do not use the bench grinder if the flange
nut or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle
shaft is bent.
• Frequently clean grinding dust from beneath
grinder.
• Do not operate this tool while under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
• Always stay alert. Do not allow familiarity,
gained from frequent use of your grinder, to
cause a careless mistake.
• Always remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
• Never reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece
of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the
grinding path of the wheel.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand posi-
tions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the wheel. Always make
sure you have good balance.
• Never stand or have any part of your body in
line with the path of the wheel.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on
and off. Have defective switches replaced by
an authorized service center.
• Do not turn the motor switch on and off
quickly. This could cause the wheel to loosen
and could create a hazard. Should this ever oc-
cur, stand clear and allow the wheel to come
to a complete stop. Disconnect your grinder
from the power supply and securely retighten
the wheel nut.
• If any part of this grinder is missing or should
break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly,
shut off the power switch, remove the machine
plug from the power source and have dam-
aged, missing, or failed parts replaced before
resuming operation.
E N G L I S H •
• Make sure the grinder is securely mounted as
described in the operating instructions before
connecting the tool to a power supply.
• Do not overtighten the wheel nut. Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during
operation.
• Inspect grinding wheel for visible defect.
Check the wheel for fissures and cracks. Re-
place defective wheels prior to use.
• Adjust distance between wheel and work rest
to maintain 1/16" (1,6 mm). Or less separation,
readjustment is necessary as the diameter of
the wheel decreases with use.
• Always ease the workpiece against the abra-
sive wheel when starting to grind. A hard im-
pact can break the wheel. Use light pressure
when starting to grind; too much pressure on a
cold wheel can cause the wheel to crack.
