machine will start and may cause an accident. Make sure the on/off switch trigger
is out and the locking button is not engaged.

– Check if you have a specified wheel.
– Never use cracked, chipped, or any damaged wheels.
– Follow the procedures specified in the instruction manual to properly attach
applicable accessories.
5. Check the power outlet.
– When the plug of the power supply cord is easily pulled out of the power outlet,
the outlet should be replaced. For such task, consult an electrician. If the power
outlet is used on a continuous basis, it may overheat and cause accidents.

WARNING!
1. Before turning the switch ON, make sure the rotating parts are not touching
anything. If the switch is turned ON while they are in contact with anything
else, the wheel may get damaged and may cause injuries.
2. When a new wheel is attached and the switch is turned ON, keep your body
well away from the exposed sides of the wheel for a moment until the machine
reaches its full speed.
It is very dangerous to perform grinding operations using cracked, chipped or damaged
wheels. Before starting grinding operations, keep the wheel away from anyone nearby. Be
sure to perform a few test runs to check whether there are any abnormalities.
Test run duration:
• After replacing a wheel..........……………………at least 3 minutes
• Before starting operations each day...................at least 1 minute
