33. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Don’t use this grinder in a flammable
environment. Keep work area well lighted.
34. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
35. Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
36. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table 2
(see sect. 7.2) shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
37. Connection and repair work on the electrical
installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
38. Tools are sharp and can lead to serious injuries;
always handle them with care.
39. Never perform any operation freehand. Tools to be
sharpened must be held in/on the appropriate
fixture and be guided firmly with both hands to
prevent them being thrown off during the
sharpening operation.
40. Never place your hand near the cutting area,
grinding stone and honing wheel while machine is
in operation.
41. Never attempt to hone a tool against the rotation –
the tool will be thrown off and the honing wheel will
be damaged.
42. Make sure the power cord does not present a
tripping hazard.
43. The stone wheel is designed for wet operation
only. Do not use the wheel dry – it will cause rapid
overheating and potential damage to wheel and
the tool being sharpened.
44. Do not overtighten wheel nut.
45. Frequently clean grinding dust from the machine.
46. Inspect abrasive wheels for cracks or other forms
of damage. Perform a “ring test” to check wheel
integrity. Do not use a faulty or damaged wheel.
47. Verify that maximum RPM of abrasive wheels is
compatible with speed of grinder. Do not remove
the blotter (label) from either side of a grinding
wheel.
48. Allow wheel to reach full RPM before starting the
grinding operation.
49. Do not crowd the work so that the wheels slow.
50. Do not grind on the side of a wheel; do all work on
the grinding face or edge. The only exception is if
the wheel is specifically rated for side grinding.
51. Do not grind aluminum or magnesium, as these
may pose a fire hazard.
52. Do not start the machine while a workpiece is
contacting a wheel.
WARNING: Some dust, fumes and gases
created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
welding and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead based paint

crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
masonry products

arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber
Your risk of exposure 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. For more
