by using padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
19. Know the tool you are using; its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
3.2
General Electrical Cautions
This machine should be grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances. This work should be done by a
qualified electrician. The machine should be
grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.
3.3
Wire Sizes
Caution:
For circuits which are far away from the
electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the
motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent
motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire
sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension
cords according to the following table is
recommended:
Conductor
Length
AWG Number
240 Volt Lines
120 Volt Lines
0 – 50 Ft.
No. 14
No. 14
50 – 100 Ft.

No. 12
Over 100 Ft.

Safety requirements for abrasive grinding machines
Abrasive grinding can be hazardous to operators and
bystanders. Grinding sparks, chips and dust particles
thrown off by the grinding disc can cause serious
injury by contact or inhalation. To avoid such injuries
you must comply with the following safety
requirements:
1. CAUTION: The gap between the abrasive
surface and table edge must not exceed 3/16". If
it does, loosen the four motor mount bolts and
move the motor forward to minimize gap.
2. Always wear protective eyewear when operating
machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant,
protective safety glasses with side shields which
comply with ANSIZ87.1. Use of eye wear which
does not comply with ANSIZ87.1 specifications
could result in severe injury from breakage of
eye protection. See Figure A, below.
3. Wear leather safety gloves, arm guards, leather
aprons and safety shoes.
4. A dust collection system is recommended.
Operator shall also wear a dust mask at all
times. See Figure B, below.
5. Additional precautions may be necessary for
grinding materials which are flammable or have
other hazardous properties. You should always
consult the manufacturer of such materials for
instructions on grinding and handling.
6. Do not force or jamb the workpiece into the
grinding disc.
7. Before grinding, always allow the motor to come
up to operating speed, then check the grinding
disc for wobble, runout, or any unbalanced
condition. If the disc is not operating accurately
and smoothly, immediately stop the motor and
make repairs before attempting any grinding
operations.
8. Abrasive discs must be stored in a controlled
environment area. Relative humidity should be
35% to 50% and the temperature should be
between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Failure
to do so could cause premature disc failure.
9. Examine the face of the grinding disc carefully.
Excessive grinding which wears down to the
backing material can result in tearing of the disc.
Never use a disc which shows backing, nicks or
cuts on the surface or edge or damage due to
creasing or poor handling.
10. When installing a new disc, be certain the disc is
accurately centered on the drive wheel. Failure
to do so could cause a serious unbalanced
condition.
11. Always present the workpiece to the wheel while
resting the workpiece firmly on the table. Failure
to do so could result in damage to the workpiece
or throwing of the workpiece off the wheel.
12. Safety shoes which comply with ANSI Z41.1
shall be worn. See Figure C.
13. Personal hearing protection such as ear plugs or
earmuffs shall be used to protect against the
effect of noise exposure. See Figure D.
