Use and Care Manual

SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE BENCH GRINDER

11. USE ONLY GRINDING WHEELS that comply with ANSI B7.1 and are rated greater than 3550 RPM.

12. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For ex-

ample: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the wheel.

17. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches re-

placed by an authorized service center.

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. Always hold the workpiece firmly against the work rest.

22. DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER if the flange nut or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.

23. FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath the grinder.

24. 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.

25. USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this bench grinder.

26. IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING, broken, bent, or damaged in any way, or if any electrical

component fails to perform properly, shut off the power switch, remove the machine plug from the power source

and have the damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before operation.

27. LAWN MOWER BLADES are usually sharpened on only one edge and dressed up slightly on the other.

Perform this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing

additional material.
