GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your drill press works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the drill press until the following steps have been read and understood. 1.

13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop. 14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool. 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH GRINDER 1. Use grinding wheels suitable for the speeds of the grinder. 2. Stand beside the bench grinder during start-up, not facing directly in front. 3. Do not remove the wheel guard. 4. Do not use the grinding wheel to cut anything. 5. Do not use anything to stress the grinding wheel. 6. Use a grinding wheel dressing tool to shape or remove glaze from grinding wheels. 7. Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to maintain 1/8 inch (3.
18. 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. 19. RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not use in an area where children may be present. 20. NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel is in contact with the workpiece. 21. SECURE WORK.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION Grounding instructions IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATION Caution: Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the tool and not in direct line, front or back of the grinder. 1. Your bench grinder has a medium wheel (60 grit) for medium material removal and general purpose grinding, and a coarse wheel (36 grit) for fast material removal. 2. To operate the bench grinder, always wear safety glasses and turn the tool on while standing at the side and not in front of the grinder. Allow it to reach full speed before grinding. 3.
