SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GRINDERS
1. Do not start the tool if the grinding wheel is in contact with the work piece.
2. Always ensure the safety guards are attached correctly and do not operate the bench grinder without
the guards attached. Adjust the distance between the wheel and the tool rest to maintain a 1/16” or less
separation as the diameter of the wheel decreases with use.
3. Only use grinding or cutting wheels with the correct bore size for the spindle of the grinder.
4. Before beginning work on your project check if the grinding disc is in safe working condition. Before using
the tool on an actual work piece, make a test run of the tool at the highest no-load speed for at least
30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is any vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor
installation or a poorly balanced wheel. You can find out if a disc is defective or cracked by letting it run at
no load in a safe environment with the guard between you and the disk. After a minute, if the disk has not
broken apart, it is considered in good working condition.
5. During long work periods do not allow the motor to overload and/or overheat, take frequent breaks.
6. A large amount of sparks will be created when working with the bench grinder. Hold the tool so that sparks
fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials.
7. When the machine is in operation, keep hands away from the grinding area. Plan the way you hold the
workpiece. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand
to move into grinding surface.
8. Use an appropriate dust respirator when working for an extended period of time. This will help prevent
breathing in the fine dust created while grinding.
CAUTION: Some surfaces contain materials that can be toxic. When working on materials that may
contain lead, asbestos, copper chromium arsenate or other toxic materials, extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
9. The disc will not stop immediately when the machine is turned off. Exercise caution.
10. Do not touch the grinding surface immediately after use. The surface will be hot and you could
injure yourself.
11. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the wheel is
unintentionally contacted.
12. When replacing a wheel, make sure it is suited for the highest possible speed achievable by the grinder.
Wheels that are not rated for the tool’s no load speed may fly apart when used. After installing any wheel, let
it run freely for a minute before proceeding with the task to perform. Cracked, damaged or unsuitable wheels
will have flown apart by this time.
13. Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean, and in good condition for a better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for changing accessories. Applying excessive force can lead to slips and damage to your work
or personal injury.
