SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES
14.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Check for misalignment, jamming, breakage and improper mounting
of moving parts, and for any other conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. Repair or replace
any part that is damaged before using the wet/dry sharpener.
15.
DO NOT
operate the tool when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your
ability to use the tool properly.
1. Inspect the sharpening wheels before operating. Do not use a cracked or chipped sharpening wheel, or
one that vibrates.
2. Use the tool rests and the eye shield that are provided with the wet/dry sharpener. Verify that the tool
rests and eye shield are adjusted and tightened properly before using the sharpener.
3. Unplug the sharpener before doing any adjustments or adding water.
4. Do not stand in front of the sharpener when starting it. There is always a possibility that a piece from a
damaged grinding wheel may be thrown off. Do not use the sharpener until it is operating at full speed.
5. Sharpen objects using the face of the wheel only, and never using the side of the wheel.
6. Do not sharpen objects near flammable gas or fluids, because the sparks produced by the wheel may
ignite gas or fluids.
7. Grinding and sharpening produces heat. Do not touch the workpiece until it has cooled down
completely.
8. Position the hands so that they will not come into contact with sharpening wheels in the event of a slip.
Keep thumbs and fingers away from the wheel.
9. The diameter of a grinding wheel decreases with use. Maintain a 1/16” (1.6 mm) distance between the
wheel and the tool rest. Readjust the tool rest as the wheel decreases in size. Make sure the tool rest is
properly adjusted so that it will not move while in use.
10. Do not exert excessive pressure on the sharpening wheel. The sharpener will do a better job and will
be safer if it is used at the speed that it was designed to work at.
11. Always place the sharpener on a flat, stable surface. The surface should also be water-repellent, in the
event of accidental spillage.
WARNING!
Exposure to excessive noise levels can result in permanent hearing loss. Wear ear protection
(safety ear muffs or ear plugs) in order to reduce the noise level while operating the sharpener.
WARNING!
Do not operate the wet/dry sharpener until it is assembled completely and the following
instructions and the warning labels on the sharpener have been read carefully and
understood fully.
WARNING!
Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to the health. Operate the sharpener in a
well-ventilated area, and ensure that proper dust removal is provided. Wear a face mask or a dust
mask when operating the sharpener.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS
WITH CSA REQUIREMENTS.
FLYING DEbRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription eyeglasses are not an
adequate substitute for proper eye protection.
