SAvE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
11.
ALwAYS MAKE SURE
the eye shields are in place,
properly adjusted, and secured.
12.
AdJUST TOOL RESTS
close to the grinding wheel
(1/8" separation or less). Tighten the tool rest
securely to prevent shifting positions, and re-adjust
as the wheel wears down. The workpiece can
be drawn into the wheel, causing damage to the
workpiece and/or serious injury.
13.
STANd TO ONE SIdE
before turning the machine
"ON". Loose fragments or wheel parts could fly
from the wheel at high speeds.
14.
NEvER gRINd ON A COLd whEEL.
Run the
grinder for one full minute before applying the
workpiece. A cold wheel has a tendency to chip.
Those fragments could fly from the wheel at high
speeds.
15.
NEvER START ThE MAChINE
with the workpiece
against the grinding wheel. The workpiece can
be drawn into the wheel, causing damage to the
machine and/or serious injury.
16.
CLEAN ThE MAChINE
thoroughly when
processing different types of workpieces (wood,
steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and metal
dust can create an explosion or fire hazard. DO NOT
GRIND or polish magnesium. Fire will result.
17.
NEvER gRINd NEAR FLAMMABLE gAS OR
LIQUIdS.
Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.
18.
AvOId
awkward operations and hand positions. A
sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the
grinding wheel.
19.
KEEP ARMS, hANdS,
and fingers away from the
wheel. The abrasive surfaces can cause serious
injury.
20.
hOLd ThE wORKPIECE FIRMLY
against the tool
rest. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
serious injury.
21.
dRESS ThE whEEL
on the face only. Dressing the
side of the wheel could cause it to become too thin
for safe use.
22.
gRINd A wORKPIECE
using the face of the
grinding wheel only. Loss of control of the
workpiece can cause serious injury.
23.
NEvER APPLY COOLANT
directly to the grinding
wheel. Coolant can weaken the bonding strength
of the grinding wheel and cause it to fail. Dip the
workpiece in water to cool it.
24.
dO NOT TOUCh
the ground portion of a workpiece
until it has cooled sufficiently. Grinding creates heat.
25.
P R O P E R LY S U P P O RT L O N g O R w I d E
workpieces. Loss of control of the workpiece can
cause serious injury.
26.
NEvER PERFORM LAYOUT
, assembly , or set-up
work on the table/work area when the machine is
running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the wheel. Severe injury can result.
27.
TURN ThE MAChINE "OFF"
, disconnect the
machine from the power source, and clean the
table/work area before leaving the machine.
Lock the switch in the "OFF" position to prevent
unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally
start the machine and cause serious injury to
themselves.
28.
