WARNING:
For your own safety, read the
instructions manual before operating the
Veritas

Mk.II Power Sharpening System.
Safety Rules
These safety instructions are provided to ensure safe use
of the Veritas
®
Mk.II Power Sharpening System. To ensure
your own safety, read these before you begin to use this
product and always follow these safety instructions.
1. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations as well
as the specific hazards related to the tool.
2. Use common sense. If an action appears to be
unsafe, it likely is. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
3. Use correct power supply. Never use a power
source for which this tool was not designed. It
could cause serious injury. This tool is equipped
with a three-prong plug; it should be plugged into
a three-hole electric receptacle. An adapter should
be properly grounded (see
Grounding Instructions
,
page 3).
4. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in. USE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 1
shows the correct size to use,
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
5. Wear proper eye protection. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not
safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the
grinding operation is dusty. Visitors should wear
the same protection.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should
be kept a safe distance from work area. MAKE
WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. Wear proper apparel. Avoid wearing loose clothing,
gloves, ties, rings and bracelets, as these can get
caught in moving parts.
8. Long hair should be tied back and secured.
9. Do
not
work under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. Drugs, alcohol, medication and lack of
sleep cause impaired judgment and coordination and
should not be combined with power tool operation.
10. Use in an appropriate environment. Power tools
should be used only in dry, clean and well-lit
environments. Exposure to rain or use in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases could result
in damage or injury. Don’t use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
11. Keep power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before use.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
13. Keep hands away from moving parts until they
have come to a complete stop and the power has
been disconnected.
14. Keep workplace clean. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
