INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY.
If
damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician
at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insula-
tion having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location
and keep it well away from the rotating grinding wheels.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY
and
replace if damaged.
USE ONLY CORRECT WHEELS. DO NOT
use wheels
with incorrect size holes. Never use wheel wash-
ers or wheel bolts that are defective or incorrect. The
maximum wheel capacity of your grinder is 6 in.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
NEVER TOUCH WHEEL
or other moving parts during
use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING COM-
PONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
WHEN SERVICING
use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
listed
in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that
are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.
Instructions for safe use of accessories are included
with the accessory.
DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS.
Make sure blade is
tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece
before connecting to power supply.
FIRMLY BOLT THE GRINDER TO A WORK BENCH OR
LEG STAND
at approximately hip height.
NEVER
reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the grinding path of the
wheel.
AVOID
AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the wheel.
ALWAYS
make sure you have good
balance.
DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY.
This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your grinder from the power supply and securely retighten
the wheel nut.
USE ONLY FLANGES
furnished with this bench grinder.
IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING
or should
break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the machine plug from the power source
and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT.
Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
ALWAYS USE THE GRINDER'S WHEEL GUARDS AND
SPARK SHIELDS.
INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL
for visible defects. Check
the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for normal op-
eration prior to use. Replace cracked wheel immediately.
ADJUST
distance between wheel and work rest to main-
tain 1/16 in. or less separation as the diameter of the
wheel decreases with use. The value of separation used
in the marking is to be the separation recommended by
the manufacturer but shall not be more than 1/8 in.
ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL
when starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when
starting to grind; too much pressure on a cold wheel
can cause the wheel to crack.
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Do not
use in an area where children may be present.
NEVER START THE GRINDER
when the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.
SECURE WORK.
Always hold workpiece firmly against
the work rest.
DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER
if the flange nut
or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
FREQUENTLY
clean grinding dust from beneath grinder.
