Specific Safety Rules

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num- ber, the heavier the cord.

Table 1: Minimum gage for cord

Ampere Rating		Volts		Total length of cord in feet
Ampere Rating		120 V	25 ft.		50 ft.	100 ft.	150 ft.

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to grinder safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1.Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from bro- ken wheel fragments.

2.Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

3.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

4.When using depressed center grinding wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass- reinforced wheels.

5.Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.

6.Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool (with guard) at no load for about a minute, holding tool away from others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely sep- arate during this test.

7.Use only flanges specified for this tool.

8.Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

9.NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.

10.Hold the tool firmly.

11.Keep hands away from rotating parts.
