Safety Information (continued)
AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY
1. Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output
pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air
tool.
2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or
snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged.
3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning
label.
5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not
function properly.
6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.
7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is
dusty.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Specifications
1. The stopping time, if longer than 5 seconds, shall be stated, and it shall be recommended to put the grinder in a stable position.
2. When cutting-off, the workpiece shall be so supported that the slot is kept at constant or increasing width during the whole operation.
3. If the abrasive product gets jammed in a cut slot, shut off the grinder and ease the wheel free. Check that the wheel is still correctly
secured and not damaged before continuing the operation.
4. Grinding wheels and cut-off wheels shall not be used for side grinding. (Exception: grinding wheels designed for side grinding.) Grinders
should not be used over the maximum rated speed of an abrasive product.
5. The operator shall pay attention that no bystanders are in the vicinity.
6. The personal protective equipment such as gloves, apron and helmet shall be used.
7. Never operate the grinder without the original guard supplied by the grinder manufacturer correctly fitted to the grinder.

9. Only use grinding wheels and cut-of wheels and wire brushes that meet ANSI standards, ISO standards or both-this will be shown on the
wheel manufacturers label.
10. Only use grinding wheels and cut-off wheels and wire brushes that have the correct center mounting hole or correct threaded insert
center to match the spindle thread on the grinder.
11. Never adjust the grinder, adjust the guard or change the wheel unless the air supply and air hose is disconnected from the grinder.
12. Only personnel trained in the correct methods to adjust guards and change grinding wheels or cut-off wheels or wire brushes should
conduct these operations.
13. Always ensure that you are aware of the direction of the sparks being created by the grinding operation and ensure that the sparks are
not directed to the operator or other persons in the area.
14. Never use a grinder close to any explosive or flammable materials or air conditions.
15. Only use the type of wheel that the grinder manufacturer specifies that the grinder is designed for use with.
16. Never attempt to modify or adapt a grinder or cut-off tool to accept a grinding wheel or cut-off wheel or wire brush that the grinder was
not designed for use with.
