–
Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible with
the grinder;
–
Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with care in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions;
–
Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not use
chipped, cracked or otherwise defective products;
–
Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
–
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with
the bonded abrasive product and when they are required;
–
Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load for
30 seconds in a safe position, stop immediately if there
is considerable vibration or if other defects are detected.
If this condition occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause;
–
If a guard is equipped with the tool never use the tool
without such a guard;
–
When using a abrasive cutting wheel, be sure to remove
the standard accessory wheel guard and attach the
wheel guard with side guard (sold separately) (Fig. 4);
–
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels;
–
For tools intended to be fi tted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length;
–
Check that the work piece is properly supported;
–
Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding;
–
Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create a hazard
e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite fl ammable substances;
–
Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions, if it should become
necessary to clear dust, fi rst disconnect the tool from

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the
power requirements specifi ed on the product nameplate.
2. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, which could cause a serious accident.
3. When the work area is removed from the power source, use
an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated capacity.
The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
4. Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure that the depressed center wheel to be utilized is
the correct type and free of cracks or surface defects.
Also ensure that the depressed center wheel is properly
mounted and the wheel nut is securely tightened.
Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with
the bonded abrasive product and when they are required.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adaptors to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
For tools intended to be fi tted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length.
5. Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
6. Ensure that the abrasive products is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load for
30 seconds in a safe position, stop immediately if there
is considerable vibration or if other defects are detected.
If this condition occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause.
