B. GROUNDING

This equipment must be grounded. This grinder is equipped with a power cord and plug with a ground wire. Please ensure that the outlet and circuit you select is wired for 110/120V and is prop- erly grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper wire from the outlet to a known ground. If adding a new circuit, please ensure that the circuit is connected to the ground- ing terminal in your electric service panel. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin be removed from any three pronged plug.

C. GENERAL INFORMATION

Fusing: Fuse at 15 amps for 110/120V service. Fuses rated any higher will not adequately protect this motor.

Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must be rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 AWG for cords up to 50 feet long. Your extension cord must also con- tain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

D. WORD OF CAUTION

In this section we have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of either the G1062 or G1063 Bench Grinders. As with the safety rules in the preceding section, these requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. Further, you must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with state and local codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

VIII. OPERATION

Your G1062 or G1063 Bench Grinder is an excellent tool for grinding rough edges on a variety of steel and cast-iron surfaces. It should not be used for aluminum or wood because the wheels will clog too rapidly.

Both the G1062 and the G1063 turn at a rate of 3,450 RPM. The wheels are capable of generating enough heat to ruin the temper of metal and make it lose its hardness. When grinding the working edges of tools, use a very short, light stroke. Do not leave the surface in contact with the wheel long enough to allow heat to build up. Frequently dip the tool in water to cool it.

IX. GRINDER SAFETY RULES

We have already covered a number of common-sense safety rules earlier in the instruction manual. Here are some more safety rules to consider before you operate your grinder:

1.NEVER OPERATE THE GRINDER WITH BROKEN WHEELS. The grinding wheels operate at 3,450 RPM. A broken wheel could turn into a missile.
