SAFETY RULES. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury!
• Make sure the bench grinder is on a firm, level surface and properly
secured
to avoid injury from unexpected movement. Firmly clamp or bolt the bench grinder
to a support surface to prevent slipping or sliding during the operation.
•
Unplug the tool before making adjustments, repairs, maintenance
or storing.
• Always switch off the tool before unplugging it
to avoid accidental starting
when replugging the tool into a power source.
• Wear eye protection. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
• Do not operate the bench grinder
until it is assembled and installed according to
this manual’s instructions.
• Always make sure the wheel guards and eye shields
are in place, properly
adjusted and secured in place.
• Use only attachments rated for 3600 RPM or higher
with a 1/2" arbor hole
or appropriate sized bushing. Never use an attachment rated lower than 3600 RPM or attempt to
machine an undersized wheel to fit the arbor.
• Always use the wheel flanges furnished with this tool
to mount grinding
wheels on the grinder shafts.
• Do not overtighten the wheel nut.
Excessive tightening can cause the wheel to
crack prior to or during operation.
• Inspect grinding wheels before starting the machine
for visible defects
such as fissures, cracks or chips. Replace damaged grinding wheels immediately.
• Keep the spark guards close to the wheel and readjust them as the
wheel wears.
• Adjust tool rest distance from the grinding wheel
to maintain a separation
of 1/8" or less as the wheel diameter decreases from use.
• Do not use a grinding wheel that vibrates when used.
If dressing the
wheel does not solve the vibration, replace it. Also inspect the machine for other causes of
vibration such as worn bearings or bent shaft. Repair or replace broken components immediately
before reusing the machine.
• Do not use the machine
if the switch does not turn it on and off. Defective switches
should be immediately replaced by an authorized service center and the machine not used under
repairs are completed.
• Do not rapidly turn the machine on and off.
This action can cause the wheel to
loosen and create a possible hazard.
