manual before using this product.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
Power supply and motor specifications
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. Your grinder is wired at the factory for
120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 2.1 Amp
circuit and use a 2.1 Amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power
cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
Grounding instructions
WARNING:
This tool must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching 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
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
•
ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL
when starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when
starting to grind. Too much pressure on a cold wheel can
cause the wheel to crack.
•
USE ONLY FLANGES
furnished with this bench grinder.
•
IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING
or should
break, bend, fail in any way, or should any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the machine plug from the power surce
and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
•
SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR.
The safety
shields and spark deflectors are adjustable for operator
convenience. Operating the grinder without these
features attached could result in serious injury. Do not
grind with the safety shield raised. Always wear safety
glasses for personal protection.
•
WORK REST.
The work rests are independently
adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Before
grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted
properly. Generally, the object being ground is done
slightly above the center of the grinding wheel.
•
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only
one edge and dressed up slightly on the other. Perform
this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the
blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing
additional material.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose
you to chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
