SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH GRINDERS
WARNING: DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT (GAINED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY RULES. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
•Make sure the bench grinder is on a firm, level surface and properly secured to avoid injury from unexpected movement. Firmly clamp or bolt the bench grinder to a support surface to prevent slipping or sliding during the operation.
•Unplug the tool before making adjustments, repairs, maintenance or storing.
•Always switch off the tool before unplugging it to avoid accidental starting when replugging the tool into a power source.
•Wear eye protection. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
•Do not operate the bench grinder until it is assembled and installed according to this manual’s instructions.
•Always make sure the wheel guards and eye shields are in place, properly adjusted and secured in place.
•Use only attachments rated for 3600 RPM or higher with a 1/2" arbor hole or appropriate sized bushing. Never use an attachment rated lower than 3600 RPM or attempt to machine an undersized wheel to fit the arbor.
•Always use the wheel flanges furnished with this tool to mount grinding wheels on the grinder shafts.
•Do not overtighten the wheel nut. Excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack prior to or during operation.
•Inspect grinding wheels before starting the machine for visible defects such as fissures, cracks or chips. Replace damaged grinding wheels immediately.
•Keep the spark guards close to the wheel and readjust them as the wheel wears.
•Adjust tool rest distance from the grinding wheel to maintain a separation of 1/8" or less as the wheel diameter decreases from use.
•Do not use a grinding wheel that vibrates when used. If dressing the wheel does not solve the vibration, replace it. Also inspect the machine for other causes of vibration such as worn bearings or bent shaft. Repair or replace broken components immediately before reusing the machine.
•Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Defective switches should be immediately replaced by an authorized service center and the machine not used under repairs are completed.
•Do not rapidly turn the machine on and off. This action can cause the wheel to loosen and create a possible hazard.
