	of this equipment.
WARNING:	Always use safety glasses with side shields (or full face shield) when operating grinder.
	Do not use ordinary eyeglasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
WARNING:	Unsuitable accessories or attachments added to this machine can create hazards. Baldor
	accessories are specifically designed to be used with this buffer. Use accessories or
	attachments only in the proper intended manner. Accessories or attachments obtained
	from another source may cause hazards. Consult the manufacturer before use.
WARNING:	Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from this product after use. Check to see that keys
	and adjusting wrenches are removed from buffer before turning it on. Projectiles can
	cause severe injury to yourself or others.

	National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for the safe installation of this equipment.
WARNING:	Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in
	moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
	contain long hair.
WARNING:	Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. A rotating wheel can
	catch an article of clothing and cause personnel injury.
WARNING:	Check damaged parts. Before further use of the buffer, a guard or other part that is
	damaged should be carefully checked to assure that it will operate properly and perform
	its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
	breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
	guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
WARNING:	When starting a grinder for the first time, or after installing a replacement grinding wheel,
	it is most important that the operator stand aside for at least one minute of rotation at full
	speed. This is the correct practice since debris in the wheel may be thrown out during the
	first moments the machine is in operation.
