SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

24.
NEVER STOP THE GRINDER BY FORCING
MATERIAL INTO THE WHEEL.
Let the grinder
stop rotating on its own.
25.
TURN THE MACHINE OFF,
disconnect the
machine from the power source, empty the water
from the tray so that the stone will not rest in the
water for long periods which can weaken the
bonding strength of the grinding wheel and cause
it to fail, and clean the table/work area before
leaving the machine.

19.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others.
17.
CLEAN THE MACHINE
thoroughly when
processing different types of workpieces (steel,
aluminium, etc.). Combining metal and wood dust
can create an explosion or fire hazard.
DO NOT
GRIND
or polish magnesium. Fire will result.
18.
ALWAYS USE a tool rest or tool-holding
jigs,
and grasp the workpiece firmly with both
hands when grinding. Loss of control of the work
-
piece can cause serious injury. AVOID awkward
operations and hand positions. A sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the grinding
wheel. The abrasive surfaces can cause injury.
19.
PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE
workpieces. Loss of control of the workpiece
can cause serious injury.
20.
NEVER GRIND SMALL STOCK
without
it
being properly supported on the tool rests, and
held by pliers or clamps.
21.
DO NOT TOUCH
the ground portion of a
workpiece until it has cooled sufficiently. Grinding
creates heat and may burn you if touched.
22.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL
to perform an
operation for which it was not designed. It will do
a safer and higher quality job by only performing
operations for which the tool was intended.
23.
DRESS THE GRINDING WHEEL OFTEN.
This will keep the wheel surface flat and free of
nicks and residue/glaze.
RESURFACE ONLY
THE FACE OF THE GRINDING WHEEL.
Dress-
ing the side of the wheel could cause it to become
too thin for safe use.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL MUST BE
GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN
, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for 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 electrical
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with
ALL
local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the
proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk
of electric shock. The conductor with the green
insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor.
DO NOT
