20.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi
-
tion that may affect the tool’s operation. If dam
-
aged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22.
Use only accessories that are recom
-
mended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
23.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
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 under
-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to grinder safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning label.
Wheels and other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
2.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
3.
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4.
Check the wheel carefully for cracks or dam
-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool at
no load for about a minute, holding tool away
from others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely sep
-
arate during this test.
5.
Hold the tool firmly.
6.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7.
Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
8.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
9.
Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other per
-
sons or flammable materials.
10.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11.
Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
12.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below when using the tool in high locations.
13.
Do not use water or grinding lubricant.
14.
Do not use this tool as cutter.
15.
ALWAYS wear proper apparel including long
sleeve shirts, leather gloves and shop aprons
to protect skin from contact with hot grindings.
16.
Use of this tool to grind or sand some prod
-
ucts, paints and wood could expose user to
dust containing hazardous substances. Use
appropriate respiratory protection.
