SAFETY rULES. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury!
•
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
•
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel.
A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
•
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning
label.
Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
•
Grinding wheel and guard must be securely attached as described in this manual
before connecting the grinder to a power source. Make sure that the guard is securely attached before
operating the grinder.
•
Check the grinding wheel carefully for
visible defects before operation.
Replace
cracked, chipped, or warped wheel immediately. Run the tool (with guard) at no load speed for about a
minute, holding tool away from others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely separate during this test.
•
Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
•
When using depressed center grinding wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass
reinforced wheels.
•
Use only flanges and clamp nut specified for this tool.
Do not over tighten the clamp nut on
the grinding wheel. excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
•
Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange, or clamp nut
(especially the installing
surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.
•
NEVEr use tool with wood cutting blades or other saw blades.
Such blades when used
on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading personal injury.
•
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
•
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
•
Make sure cord is clear of wheel.
Do not wrap cord around your arm or wrist. If control of tool is
lost, cord may become wrapped around you and cause personal injury.
•
Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
•
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while
. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel.
•
Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding.
Never use the side or
upper surfaces for cutting.
•
Watch out for flying sparks.
Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or
flammable materials.
