•Do not stand directly in front of the machine when turning it "ON".
Always stand off to the side of the machine and do not allow any part of your body to be in line with the path of the wheel.
•Never grind on a cold wheel. The grinder should always be started and allowed to run at idle speed for on full minute before applying work to the grinding wheel.
•Never grind on the side of the wheel. Always grind on the face of the wheel only.
•Never apply coolant directly to the grinding wheel. Coolant may weaken the bonding strength of the wheel causing it to fail. Dip the hot work piece into water to cool it.
•Never start the grinder with the work piece pressed against the grinding wheel or other attachments (wire brushes, buffing wheels, etc.)
•Always ease the work piece against the wheel when starting to grind. Use light pressure when applying the work piece to the grinding wheel. Excessive pressure can cause the wheel to crack or overload the motor.
•Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where an unexpected or sudden slip that could cause your hand or fingers to move into the grinding wheel, wire brush, buffing wheel, etc.
•Always keep hands and fingers away from rotating attachments.
•Always hold the work piece firmly against the tool rest. Be sure the tool rest is securely tightened in place to prevent movement during use.
•Do not grind magnesium or aluminum, fire may result.
•Grinding creates hazardous sparks, never operate the grinder near flammable gas, liquids, or in an explosive atmosphere.
•Dress the grinding wheel face only. Dressing the wheel sides can cause it to become too thin for safe use.
•If any part of the grinder is missing, damaged or fails in any way, or should any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off the switch. Remove the machine plug from the power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
•Clean the grinding dust from beneath the grinder frequently
•Do not operate in rain or in damp locations.
