SERVICE
31. TOOL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED RE- PAIR PERSONNEL. Service or maintenance performed by unquali- fied personnel may result in a risk of injury.
32.WHEN SERVICING A TOOL, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MAINTENANCE SEC- TION OF THIS MANUAL. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES — BENCH GRINDERS
1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of tool “live” and shock the operator.
2.Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
3.ALWAYS USE PROPER GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS WITH GRINDING, BUFFING AND WIRE WHEELS. Keep guards in place and in working order. A guard protects the operator from broken wheel fragments.
4.ACCESSORIES MUST BE RATED FOR AT LEAST THE SPEED ON THE TOOL NAMEPLATE. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
5.REPLACE CRACKED WHEELS IMMEDIATELY.
6.DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN WHEEL NUT.
7.USE ONLY FLANGES FURNISHED WITH THE GRINDER.
8.ADJUST DISTANCE BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE WORK REST TO MAINTAIN 1/8” OR LESS OF SEPERATION AS THE DIAMETER OF THE WHEEL DECREASES WITH USE.
9.FREQUENTLY CLEAN GRINDING DUST FROM BENEATH THE GRINDER.
10.WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
