ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
UTILITY SHARPENERS
3
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often
and use them to instruct others.
1.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE
until it is
assembled
and
installed
according to the
instructions.
2.
OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR,
instructor, or another qualified person
if you are
not familiar with the operation of this machine.
3.
FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES
and recommended
electrical connections.
4.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF THE APPLIANCE
PLUG OR RECEPTACLE GETTING WET, POSITION
MACHINE TO ONE SIDE OF A WALL MOUNTED
RECEPTACLE TO PREVENT WATER FROM
DRIPPING ONTO THE RECEPTACLE OR PLUG.
The
user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord
connecting the machine to a receptacle. The “drip
loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the
receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is
used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle.
5.
IF THE PLUG OR RECEPTACLE DOES GET WET,
DON’T UNPLUG THE CORD.
Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the machine.
Then unplug and examine for presence of water in
the receptacle.
6.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED ON THE
CIRCUIT(S) OR OUTLET(S) TO BE USED WITH
THE MACHINE.
7.
INSPECT GRINDING WHEELS
for chips or cracks
before starting the machine.
DO NOT USE THE
UTILITY SHARPENER IF THE WHEEL IS
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
8.
ADJUST TOOL RESTS
close to the grinding wheel
(1/8" (3.8mm) separation or less). Tighten the tool
rest securely to prevent shifting positions.
9.
STAND TO ONE SIDE
before turning the machine
“ON”.
10.
NEVER GRIND ON A COLD GRINDING WHEEL.
Run the grinder at idle speed for one full minute
before applying the workpiece.
11.
NEVER START THE MACHINE
with the workpiece
against the grinding wheel.
12.
NEVER GRIND NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR
LIQUIDS.
Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.
13.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS
where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the grinding wheel.
14.
KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS
away from
the grinding wheel.
15.
HOLD WORK FIRMLY
against the tool rests.
16.
DRESS THE GRINDING WHEEL
on the face only.
Dressing the side of the grinding wheel could cause
it to become too thin for safe use.
17.
GRIND A WORKPIECE
using the face of the
grinding wheel only.
18.
DO NOT TOUCH
the ground portion of a workpiece
until it has cooled sufficiently. Grinding creates heat.
19.
TURN THE MACHINE “OFF” AND DISCONNECT
THE MACHINE
from the power source before
installing or removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups, or when making repairs.
20.
TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”,
disconnect the
machine from the power source, and clean the
table/work area before leaving the machine. If your
machine has a switch lock-out feature, LOCK THE
SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent
unauthorized use.
21.
