3. Only grind on the face of the grinding wheel. Do not
grind on the side of the wheel.
4. Keep clear of moving parts. Keep arms, hands and
other vital appendages away from the grinding and hon-
ing wheel. Do not reach behind or beneath the rotating
wheel. Avoid awkward operation and hand positions. An
accident could easily send the operator’s hand into the
wheel.
5. If you are interrupted when operating the bench
grinder, complete the process and switch the bench
grinder off before looking up.
6. Always hold the workpiece firmly against the tool
rest.
7. Never attempt to cut anything with the grinding wheel.
8. Do not use the bench grinder unless all guards are
in place. Do not operate with any guard disabled, dam-
aged, or removed. Moving guards must move freely and
close instantly.
9. Disconnect the power source and allow the wheels
to come to a complete stop before making any adjust-
ments to either the machine or the grinding wheels.
10. Clean the machine thoroughly when changing ma-
terial types in workpieces. Combining certain materials
can increase the chances of an explosion or fire hazard.
11. Should any component of your bench grinder be
missing/damaged or fail in any way, shut off the switch
and remove the plug from power supply outlet. Have
a certified technician replace the missing, damaged, or
failed parts using only identical replacement parts be-
fore resuming operation.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown
, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
1.
Do not modify the plug provided.
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electri-
cian.
2.
Improper connection
of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
3.
Check
with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely under-
stand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
4.
Use only three-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that
accept the tool’s plug (Fig. 1). Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION!
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you
are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
