A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury. English Store idle tools out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. They are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. English • • Use only recommended accessories.
Keep the spark guards close to the wheel and readjust them as the wheel wears. • Adjust tool rest distance from the grinding wheel to maintain a separation of 1/8 in. or less as the wheel diameter decreases from use. • Do not use a grinding wheel that vibrates when used.
