• Always wear eye protection that complies with a recognized
standard (for example: ANSI Z87.1) - (CSA or ANSI).
• Wear a mask or respirator when dust is generated.
• Keep bystanders out of the work area while operating the tool.
• WARNING! Always ensure that the work area is clear of any
flammable materials, liquids or gasses, because the use of this
tool may create sparks.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair tied back.
• WARNING! Replace cracked grinding wheels immediately.
• Do not overtighten spindle nuts.
• Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to maintain a distance
of 1/8” (3.2 mm) from the grinding wheel.
• NEVER grind on the side of the wheel. Grind on the face of
the wheel only.
• NEVER apply pressure to the workpiece when the grinding
wheel is cold. Allow the wheel to warm up by applying the work-
piece gradually.
• NEVER use the grinder without the wheel guards. Keep

Before You Start – Electrical
In the event of a malfunction or short circuit, grounding provides
the path of least resistance for electrical current, and reduces the
risk of electric shock for the operator. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL lo-
cal codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the out-
let, have the proper outlet installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conduc-
tor can result in increased risk of electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equip-
ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that
looks like the one illustrated. The original tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated (Figure 2).
