•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

•USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

•NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

Additional Safety Instructions for Grinders

•ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS. WHEN GRINDING, ALWAYS KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

•Use only grinding wheels having a maximum operating speed at least as high as the “No Load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate. Use only grinding wheels suitable for the speed of the grinder.

•Use only flanges furnished with the grinder.

•Adjust distance between wheel and work rest to maintain 1/8" (3.18 mm) or less separation as the diameter of the wheel decreases with use.

•Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. DO NOT USE A GRINDING WHEEL THAT IS CRACKED OR FLAWED IN ANY WAY.

•When starting the tool, let it run for one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

•Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.

•Do not overtighten the hex nut. This may crack the grinding wheel.

•Clean the cavity around the grinding wheel periodically.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

•ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

•ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

•NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
