WARNING:

Before connecting your grinder to power supply, always
check to be sure switch is not in 

lock-on

 position. Failure

to do so could result in accidental starting of your grinder
resulting in possible serious injury.

GUARD LOCATION

The guard on your grinder should be correctly installed
depending on which side the handle is mounted. 

Never use

your grinder without the guard correctly in place.

Figures

4, 5, and 6 show correct and incorrect locations of the guard.

WARNING:

Never place the guard so that it is on front of the grinder as
shown in figure 6. This could result in serious injury because
sparks and loose particles thrown from the grinding wheel
would be directed toward the operator. Always place the
guard in the correct location as shown in figures 4 and 5.

WARNING:

Always wear safety glasses and keep guard in place
when grinding.
Hot metal sparks from metal grinding can cause a fire.
Avoid spark contact with flammable materials such as
saw dust or clothing.
Grinding wheels must be free of fissures and cracks.
Fissures and cracks can cause a grinding wheel to
shatter resulting in possible serious injury.
Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before it is
installed on the grinder.
1. Use a wooden hammer for the inspection.
2. Using the hammer, lightly tap all around the wheel,

carefully listening to the resulting sounds.

3. Any places with fissures or cracks will result in a

different sound.

Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks.
When installing a new grinding wheel, a no load
revolution test of approximately one minute must be
carried out with the grinding wheel facing a safe
direction, i.e. away from people or objects.

DANGER:

Never attach a wood cutting or carving blade of any
type to this angle grinder. It is only designed for
grinding metal.

  Use for any other purpose is not

recommended and creates a hazard which will result in
serious injury.
