ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR GRINDERS
1.DO NOT OPERATE your tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2.IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper- ation of grinders, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
3.USE only attachments rated for 3600 RPM or higher with a 1/2" arbor hole. NEVER use an attachment rated lower than 3600 RPM or attempt to machine an undersized attachment to fit an arbor.
4.NEVER use a chipped or cracked wheel. ALWAYS inspect each wheel before mounting on the grinder.
REPLACE A CRACKED WHEEL IMMEDIATELY.
5.DO NOT overtighten wheel nut.
6.ALWAYS maintain a distance of 1/8" or less between the wheel and the tool rest. Adjust the tool rests as the wheels decrease in size with use.
7.SECURELY tighten tool rests so they cannot shift position while in use.
8.NEVER grind on a cold wheel. The grinder should always be started and run at idle speed for one full minute before applying work.
9.NEVER grind on the side of the wheel. ALWAYS grind on the face of the wheel only.
10.NEVER apply coolant directly to a grinding wheel. Coolant can weaken the bonding strength of the wheel and cause it to fail. Dip the workpiece into water to cool it.
11.SPARKS ARE A HAZARD! NEVER operate tool near flammable gas or liquids.
12.ALWAYS MAKE SURE the wheel guards and eye shields are in place, properly adjusted and secured.
13.KEEP the spark guards close to the wheel and re- adjust them as the wheel wears.

15.STAND to one side of the grinder when turning on the power.
16.AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the attachment (grinding wheel, wire brush, buffing wheel, etc.).
17.ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the attachments (grinding wheel, wire brush, buffing wheel, etc.).
18.NEVER start the grinder with the workpiece pressed against the attachment (grinding wheel, wire brush, buffing wheel, etc.).
19.DRESS the wheel on the face only. Dressing the side of the wheel can cause it to become too thin for safe use.
20.DO NOT use an attachment that causes vibration. Dress the grinding wheel, replace the wheel or other attachment, or replace the shaft bearings, if worn.
21.GRINDING CREATES HEAT. Do not touch the
22.SHOULD any part of your tool be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation.
