while unattended.
2. MAkE THE WORkSHOP CHILDPROOF
Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store the tool away from
children, and others not qualified to use the tool.
3. CHECk FOR DAMAGE TO THE GRINDING WHEEL.
Do a ring test. Be suspicious of any wheel that has been dropped or
struck hard. Replace all cracked wheels immediately. They can explode
with disasterous consequences.
4. ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS
5. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT.
Tighten it just enough that the wheel does not slip in use.
6. USE ONLY FLANGES FURNISHED WITH THIS GRINDER
and the blotters suppplied by the wheel manufacturer.

STAND OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE WHEEL
when turning on the power, and allow the grinder to come up to speed.
It should be run for one full minute before applying work to the wheel.
8. NEVER GRIND ON THE SIDE SURFACES OF THE WHEEL.
Grind on the outer edge (face) of the wheel only.
9.
DRESS THE FACE OF THE WHEEL ONLY.
Dressing the sides of the wheel should be unnecessary and may make
it too thin for safe use.

Coolants may deteriorate the bonding strength in some wheels and
cause possibly catastrophic failure.
11. ADjUST THE DISTANCE BETWEEN WHEEL AND WORk REST
to maintain 1/16” (1.5 mm) or less separation as the diameter of the
wheel decreases with use.
12. FREQUENTLY CLEAN
the grinding dust from beneath the wheel.

thrown into the eyes which can result in severe eye damage. Always
wear eye protection during operation of the tool.

of all moving parts, broken parts, mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the tools operation.

hEALTh NOTICE:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
─Lead from lead-based paints
─Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
─Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these 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 those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
