INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,
have repaired by a qualified service technician at an
authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged
or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord
location and keep it well away from the rotating grinding
wheels.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
USE ONLY CORRECT WHEELS. DO NOT use wheels
with incorrect size holes. Never use wheel washers or
wheel bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum
wheel capacity of your grinder is 6 in.
NEVER TOUCH WHEEL or other moving parts during
use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING
COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
FIRMLY BOLT THE GRINDER TO A WORK BENCH OR
LEG STAND at approximately hip height.
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
POSITIONS 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 TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, 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.
USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this bench grinder.
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 damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
3 — English
WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed
in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that
are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.
Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with
the accessory.
DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight
and not making contact with saw or workpiece before
connecting to power supply.
GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT. Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
ALWAYS USE THE GRINDER'S WHEEL GUARDS AND
SAFETY SHIELDS.
INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL for visible defects.
Check the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for
normal operation prior to use. Replace cracked wheel
immediately.
ADJUST distance between wheel and work rest to main-
tain 1/16 in. or less separation as the diameter of the
wheel decreases with use. The value of separation used
in the marking is to be the separation recommended by
the manufacturer but shall not be more than 1/8 in.
ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL when starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when
starting to grind; too much pressure on a cold wheel can
cause the wheel to crack.
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Do not use in an area where children may be present.
NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.
SECURE WORK. Always hold workpiece firmly against
the work rest.
