12.Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop- erly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other con- dition that may affect proper opera- tion. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
13.Replacement parts and accesso- ries. When servicing, use only identi- cal replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
14.Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
15.Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 10 amps capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer exten- sion cords require larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
16.Take caution as some woods con- tain preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
17.Maintenance. Service/maintenance should be done by a qualified techni- cian.
18.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
19.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.
20.Make sure grinding wheels are of proper speed (RPM) rating for grinder.
21.Frequently quench the workpiece in water to prevent overheating; be careful not to get water on the bench grinder.
22.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.
23.Do not use aluminum oxide wheels when grinding nonferrous metals such as aluminum and brass. Use silicon carbide wheels for nonferrous metals.
24.When buffing material, hold material on lower side of buffing wheel. Keep fingers clear of grinding wheel and tool rest.
