■ CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damage must be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
to avoid risk of personal injury.
■ KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleumbased products, or any solvents to clean
tool
■ INSPECT POWER SUPPLY AND EXTENSION
CORDS periodically and, if damaged, have repaired
by a qualified service technician. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away from
the rotating wheel.
■ NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor or sparking from
grinding metal could ignite fumes.
■ USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. Use only
extension cords with approved ground connection
that are intended for use outdoors and so marked.
■ NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of
scrap, or anything else that is in or near the grinding
path of the wheel.
■ AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the wheel. ALWAYS make sure
you have good balance.
■ NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the wheel.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
■ DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND
OFF RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to
loosen and could create a hazard. Should this ever
occur, stand clear and allow the wheel to come to a
complete stop.
Disconnect your grinder from the power supply and
securely retighten the wheel nut.
When servicing use only
identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause
■ USE ONLY FLANGES supplied with this bench
grinder. IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS
MISSING or should break, bend, or fail in any way,

machine plug from the power source and have
damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before
resuming operation.
■ MAKE SURE THE GRINDING WHEEL IS
SECURELY MOUNTED as described in the
operating instructions before connecting the tool to
a power supply.
■ DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT,
excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack
during operation.
■ INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL for visible defects.
Check the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test
for normal operation prior to use.
■ ADJUST distance between wheel and work rest to
maintain 1.6 mm. or less separation as the diameter
of the wheel decreases with use. The value of
separation used in the marking is to be the
separation recommended by the manufacturer but
shall not be more than 3.2 mm.
■ ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST
THE ABRASIVE WHEEL. When starting to grind. A
harsh impact can break the wheel. Use light
pressure when starting to grind; too much pressure
on a cold wheel can cause the wheel to crack.
■ RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL
STARTING. Do not use in an area where children
may be present.
■ NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel
is in contact with the workpiece.
■ SECURE WORK. Always hold workpiece firmly
against the work rest.
■ DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER if the
flange nut or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle
shaft is bent.
■ FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath
grinder.
■ DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
■ ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of grinder) to cause
complacency.
■ A careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
■ STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other users. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
