III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
WARNING!
As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of inherent danger associated with the
Model G1062 and Model G1063 Bench Grinders. Using the tool with respect and caution will con-
siderably lessen the possibility of mechanical damage and operator injury. If normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or ignored, injury to the operator or others in the area is likely.
These grinders are specifically designed to grind steel and iron. We strongly emphasize that this tool
should never be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed.
Modifications or improper use of this tool will void all warranties.
If you are confused about any
aspect of this machine,
DO NOT
use it until you have resolved any questions you might have.

1.

Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications
and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.
2.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE
and in working order.
3.
GROUND ALL TOOLS.
It should be plugged into a three-hole grounded outlet. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known
ground. Never remove the grounding prong.
4.

Make it a habit to check that keys and adjust-
ing wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
