USE THE WHEEL GUARDS AND SAFETY EYE SHIELDS that
are provided with your bench grinder.
USE ONLY GRINDING WHEELS that are rated at higher RPM
than the maximum RPM of your bench grinder.
CRACKED OR DAMAGED GRINDING WHEELS. Replace
immediately cracked or damaged grinding wheels that can give
out debris at a high speed. Handle the grinding wheel carefully
since they are abrasive. Check the replacement wheel for cracks
prior to installing. DO NOT remove the label or blotter on both
sides of the grinding wheel. The spindle nut should be tightened just
enough to hold the wheel firmly to your bench grinder. It is possible
to damage the grinding wheel with too much clamping force.
DO NOT use the bench grinder if the flange nut or clamp nut is
missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
GRINDING WHEELS will get smaller with use. The distance
between the work rest and wheel must be periodically adjusted to 1/16 in.
DO NOT START GRINDER when the grinding wheel is in contact
with the workpiece.
GENTLY apply the workpiece against the grinding wheel when
starting your project. A sudden impact can damage the wheel.
The use of slight pressure is best when starting to grind. The use
of too much pressure too quickly on a cold wheel can cause
damage to the wheel.
DO NOT STAND directly in front of the bench grinder when
starting. When turning the bench grinder to the "ON" position,
stand to one side. There is always the possibility of debris
discharged toward the operator.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION CORDS. If
damaged, have repaired or replaced immediately. Know their
location, keep them well away from the grinding wheel.
BENCH GRINDERS will emit sparks and produce debris. DO
NOT use power tools where flammable gas or liquids exist. Clean
your bench grinder and area of grinding dust.
KEEP IN MIND. Stay alert and aware of what you are doing. The
slightest mistake can cause personal injury and or property damage.
YOUR BENCH GRINDER MUST be securely mounted to a
suitable workspace before operating. (hardware not included)
PLAN YOUR PROJECT. Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause personal injury. Hold
the workpiece firmly and keep body parts a safe distance from
grinding wheels.
WHEEL GUARDS, KEEP THEM IN PLACE. DO NOT operate the
bench grinder with the wheel guards removed.
KEEP TOOL RESTS FIRMLY TIGHTENED.

WHEN GRINDING ANY METALS, the grinder can produce
sparks which may land on your clothing, or hit your face. You
should use a full face mask and appropriate protective clothing.
Also ensure that you are not operating the grinder around
flammable materials or liquids. Always make sure the safety
shields and wheel guards are in place at all time.
MAKE SURE the grinding wheels are of the proper speed (RPM)
rating for the grinder.
FREQUENTLY QUENCH THE WORKPIECE in water to prevent
overheating;be careful not to get water on the bench grinder.
USE THE TOOL REST to steady the work piece. If the tool rest is
not used, the torque of the spinning grinding wheel may pull the
workpiece from your hands.
DO NOT USE aluminum oxide wheels when grinding nonferrous
metals such as aluminum and brass. Use silicon carbide wheels for
nonferrous metals.
WHEN BUFFING MATERIAL, always hold the material on the
lower side of the buffing wheel. Always keep fingers clear of the
grinding wheel and the tool rest.
NOTE: Performance of this tool may vary depending on
variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also
affect tool performance.
WARNING:The warnings, cautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that commom sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by

Wear safety
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
glasses when
eyes which can result in severe eye damage. Always
using tools
wear eye protection during power tool operation.
WARNING: Some dust created by grinding and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: LEAD
from lead based paint, CRYSTALLINE SILICA from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, ARSENIC and CHROMIUM from chemically
treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are especially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
