Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Bench Grinders
1.When grinding any metals, the grinder can produce sparks which may land on your clothing, or hit your face. You should use a full face mask and appropriate protective clothing. Also ensure that you are not operating the grinder around flammable materials or liquids. Always make sure the safety shields and wheel guards are in place at all times.
2.Make sure the grinding wheels are of the proper speed (RPM) rating for the grinder.
3.Frequently quench the workpiece in water to prevent overheating; be careful not to get water on the bench grinder.
4.Use the tool rest to steady the work piece. If the tool rest is not used, the torque of the spinning grinding wheel may pull the workpiece from your hands.
5.Do not use aluminum oxide wheels when grinding nonferrous metals such as aluminum and brass. Use silicon carbide wheels for nonferrous metals.
6.When buffing material, always hold the material on the lower side of the buffing wheel. Always keep fingers clear of the grinding wheel and the tool rest.
Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
