SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to grinder safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal
injury.
1.
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel.
A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
2.
Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning label.
Wheels and other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
3.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
4.
When using depressed center grinding wheels,
be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced
wheels.
5.
Always
use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
6.
Check the wheel carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool
(with guard) at no load for about a minute,
holding tool away from others. If wheel is
flawed, it will likely separate during this test.
7.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.
8.
Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
flange (especially the installing surface) or the
lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in
wheel breakage.
9.
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
10. Hold the tool firmly.
11.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
12. Make sure cord is clear of wheel. Do not wrap
cord around your arm or wrist. If control of
tool is lost, cord may become wrapped around
you and cause personal injury.
13. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
14. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
15. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.

16. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
17. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
18. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
19. ALWAYS wear proper apparel including long
sleeve shirts, leather gloves and shop aprons
to
grindings.
20. Use of this tool to grind or sand some
products, paints and wood could expose user
to dust containing hazardous substances. Use
appropriate respiratory protection.
21. After using the tool, make sure the wheel
rotation comes to a complete stop before
setting the tool down. Setting the tool down
with the wheel rotating can cause personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
