1.Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be corrected by shimming or blocking before operation.
2.This machine is not designed to process any other material except metals.
3.Never position fingers or hands directly between the grinding wheel and the table.
4.Do not operate surface grinder with cracked or damaged grinding wheels.
5.Always use extreme care in handling grind- ing wheels during installation. Always “ring check” the wheel to determine possible damage.
6.Ensure that the surface grinder is properly adjusted before using.
7.Never load or unload the workpiece while the grinding wheel is rotating or the table is moving.
8.If using coolants for grinding, always read and understand the user information listed on the coolant container. Some coolants used for machining may be hazardous to your health if not used and stored properly.
9.This manual is intended to familiarize you with this grinding machine. It is not, nor was it ever intended to be, a comprehen- sive training manual.
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.
