3 – English
Firmly bolt the grinder to a work bench or leg stand
at approximately hip height.
Never
reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or
anything else that is in or near the grinding path of the
wheel.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
wheel.
Always
make sure you have good balance.
Never
stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly.
This
could cause the wheel to loosen and could create a
hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow
the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your
grinder from the power supply and securely retighten the
wheel nut.
Use only flanges
furnished with this bench grinder.
If any part of this grinder is missing
or should
break, bend, or 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 source
and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
Do not overtighten the wheel nut.
Excessive tightening
can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
Always use the grinder’s wheel guards and safety
shields.
Inspect grinding wheel
for visible defects. Check the
wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for normal operation
prior to use. Replace cracked wheel immediately.
Adjust
distance between wheel and work rest to main-
tain 1/16 in. Or less separation as the diameter of the
wheel decreases with use. The value of separation used
in the marking is to be the separation recommended by
the manufacturer but shall not be more than 1/8 in.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Use outdoor extension cords.
When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords with approved ground
connection that are intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
Wheels coast after being turned off.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere.
Normal sparking
of the motor could ignite fumes.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service center.
Inspect tool cords periodically.
If damaged, have
repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized
service facility. The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating grinding wheels.
Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if
damaged.
Use only correct wheels. Do not
use wheels with
incorrect size holes. Never use wheel washers or wheel
bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum wheel
capacity of your grinder is 6 in.
Never touch wheel
or other moving parts during use.
Never start a tool when any rotating component is in
contact with the workpiece.
Do not operate a tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
When servicing
use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
Use only recommended accessories
listed in this
manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not
listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for
safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
Double check all setups.
Make sure wheel is tight
and not making contact with saw or workpiece before
connecting to power supply.
Ground all tools.
If tool is equipped with three-prong
plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle.
Check with a qualified electrician
or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only correct electrical devices:
3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Do not modify
the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
