ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Before connecting your grinder to power supply, always check to be sure switch is not in lock-onposition. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your grinder resulting in possible serious injury.

GUARD LOCATION

The guard on your grinder should be correctly installed depending on which side the handle is mounted. Never use your grinder without the guard correctly in place.￿Figures 4, 5, and 6 show correct and incorrect locations of the guard.

WARNING:

Never place the guard so that it is on front of the grinder as shown in figure 6. This could result in serious injury because sparks and loose particles thrown from the grinding wheel would be directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in the correct location as shown in figures 4 and 5.

OPERATION

WARNING:

￿Always wear safety glasses and keep guard in place when grinding.

￿Hot metal sparks from metal grinding can cause a fire. Avoid spark contact with flammable materials such as saw dust or clothing.

￿Grinding wheels must be free of fissures and cracks. Fissures and cracks can cause a grinding wheel to shatter resulting in possible serious injury.

Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before it is installed on the grinder.

1.Use a wooden hammer for the inspection.

2.Using the hammer, lightly tap all around the wheel, carefully listening to the resulting sounds.

3.Any places with fissures or cracks will result in a different sound.

Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks. When installing a new grinding wheel, a no load revolution test of approximately one minute must be carried out with the grinding wheel facing a safe direction, i.e. away from people or objects.

DANGER:

Never attach a wood cutting or carving blade of any type to this angle grinder. It is only designed for grinding metal. Use for any other purpose is not recommended and creates a hazard which will result in serious injury.
