SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)
Tool Should Be Maintained
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before turning machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other condition that may affect a tool’s operation.
• Replace worn or damaged cord immediately.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
the parts list to order replacement parts.)
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best
and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
Know How to Use Tool
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool from power when changing accessories such
as grinding wheels, buffing wheels and the like.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the off
position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and grinding surfaces.
• Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
over.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Understand and obey all
safety instructions supplied with accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt or disc jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.)
• Maintain 1/16˝ maximum clearance between tool rest and
abrasive belt/disc.
• Handle the workpiece correctly. Whenever possible, use tool
rest to support workpiece during grinding operation. Turn tool
off if it jams.
• Make sure the tool is secured to a steady, flat working surface.
When used with a stand, make sure the stand is bolted to a flat
surface to prevent tipping over.
• Support workpiece with tool rest.
• Clean sanding dust from beneath tool frequently.
