NEVER RUN WHEELS DRY. Make sure there is adequate water used while
grinding so that rock dust is not formed. This dust may contain chemicals
that can be hazardous to your lungs if inhaled and is known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and wear a face or dust mask
if the grinding operation is dusty.
USE ONLY WATER AS COOLANT.
SOME ROCKS CONTAIN POISONOUS ELEMENTS. Avoid grinding rocks that
contain uranium, mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. Be certain you know the
material you are grinding.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL or attachment to do a job it is not designed to do.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Be aware of the wheel rotation direction. ALWAYS
EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE RESIN WHEELS. A harsh impact can
break the wheel. Use light pressure when starting to grind. Too much
pressure can cause the wheel to crack.
NEVER GRIND MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE AT A TIME.
NEVER START THE MACHINE IF A WHEEL IS IN CONTACT WITH A WORK-
PIECE.
WHEELS CONTINUE TO SPIN AFTER TURN OFF eventually slowing to a stop.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS. Make sure you
have good balance while working on this machine. A sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the wheel.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT. You must be focused while working on this machine.
It is possible for stones to catch on the wheels and be ejected out of the
grinding area.
