Like all power tools, there is danger associat- ed with the Model G5963 Surface Grinder. Use the tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of mechanical damage or operator injury. If normal safety precautions are over- looked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
Operation of this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or gog- gles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your indi- vidual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
