9. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece when practical.
It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
10.
DO NOT
clamp grinder in vise or use as a fixed grinder.
11. Grinding discs must be stored in a dry location to prevent deterioration.
12. Before attaching the grinding disc, inspect it for visible defects. If cracked, chipped
or warped do not install it.
13. Use only grinding discs in compliance with ANSI Standard B7.1 and rated for a
speed greater than 11,000 RPM.
14.
DO NOT
remove the soft paper in the center of the grinding disc.
NOTE
: If this paper has been previously removed, insert some soft rubber
or paper between the grinding disc and the disc flange to prevent damage
to the grinding disc.
15
.
DO NOT
alter or enlarge the center hole of the grinding disc as this could result in
breaking it.
16.
DO NOT
over-tighten the clamp nut on the grinding disc. Excessive tightening may
cause the disc to crack and possibly shatter during operation.
17.
DO NOT
use the grinder if the disc flange or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle
is bent.
18. Check to make sure the power cord and any extension cord are clear of the area to
be cut. Contact with ”live” wires could shock the operator or cause a fire.
19. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
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.
20. Always hold the grinder securely with two hands while working and at all times
when it is running.
21. Never turn the grinder ON with the grinding disc or any rotating parts touching the
work surface.
22. Never cover the air vents in the motor housing with your hands while operating the
grinder.
EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury.
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.
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so it will
not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you are
working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry
the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
electrician before using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not
be less than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15 AMP
time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to
the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower
voltage will damage the motor.
1. To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. This tool is wired at the factory for 110–120 V operation. It must be
connected to a 110–120 V 15A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock
or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized plug only
one way.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-prong
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
4. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is a risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
5.
DO NOT
expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
6.
DO NOT
abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
7. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“WA” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
2.
DO NOT
force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
3.
DO NOT
use the tool if the power switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
