OPERATION

Wear safety eyewear and dust filters or respirators while using this tool.

Keep hands and fingers away from the rotating Grinding Wheel while it is in operation. Your fingers can get stuck inside the rotating wheel and cause serious injury to the user.

Be certain the Bench Grinder has been securely mounted before use. Keep a steady pressure on the workpiece. Keep it moving at an even pace for smooth grinding. Press too hard and it will overheat the motor. Note the original bevel angle on the item to be sharpened, and try to maintain the shape. The grinding wheel should rotate into the object being sharpened.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Wear safety eyewear before cleaning. Use compressed dry air to blow off dust and debris. Use a soft bristle brush if compressed air is not available.

Applying excessive force to the tool can overload the motor, decrease the life and increase the wear on the tool.

Some chemicals can damage the product. Do not use harsh chemicals such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, etc.

A qualified repair technician must perform any tool service or repair. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Do not make contact with a grounded surface while using this power tool. Contact with surfaces like pipes, radiators or major appliances increase your risk of electric shock.

Keep construction debris out of vents and power button by blowing with compressed air. If compressed air is unavailable, use a soft bristle shop brush.

Use only mild soap and a slightly damp cloth to clean the tool.

ACCESSORIES

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-prong) outlets.

If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. For example, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

The Bench Grinder will accept most polishing and buffing wheels, sold separately.
