7. Use a grinding wheel dressing tool to shape or
remove glaze from grinding wheels.
8. Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to
maintain 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) or less separation as
the diameter of the wheel decreases with use.

breaker or time-delay fuse.

13. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
14. DO NOT use wheels with incorrect size holes.
NEVER use wheel washers or wheel screws that
are defective or incorrect, and NEVER touch a
grinding wheel or other moving parts.
15. NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of

BENCH GRINDER SAFETY

17. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the wheel.
18. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
19. DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND
OFF RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to
loosen and 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 retighten the wheel nut securely.
20. RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL
STARTING. Do not use in an area where children
may be present.
21. NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel is
in contact with the workpiece.
22. SECURE WORK. Always hold the workpiece firmly
against the work rest.
23. DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER if the flange
nut or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is
bent.
24. FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath
the grinder.
25. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
ANY MEDICATION.
26. ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of your grinder) to cause
a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
27. STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this bench
grinder.
