GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
 Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the grinder's applications and limitations
as well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.
 Guard against electrical shock by preventing body
contact with grounded surfaces. For example, pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator, enclosures.
 Keep guards in place and in good working order.
 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
 Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Do not leave tools or pieces of wood
on the bench grinder while it is in operation.
 Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain.
Keep the work area well lit.
 Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord while operating.
 Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
 Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the
feed rate for which it was designed.
 Use right tool. Don't force the tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for. Don't use it for a purpose
not intended.
 Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size
(a.W.G.) Of at least 16 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. Also wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
 Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses, they are
not safety glasses.
 Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It's safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate tool.
 Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
 Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
 Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, or
when changing attachments, grinding wheels, etc., All
tools should be disconnected.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in any tool.
 Use recommended accessories. Consult the operator's
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may risk injury.
 Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
 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 damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
 Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
grinding operation is dusty.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
 Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
