d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
BENCH GRINDER SAFETY
•
Wear eye protection that complies with ANSI
Z87.1 specifications.
•
Use grinding wheels suitable for the speeds of the grinder.
•
Stand beside the bench grinder during start-up, not
facing directly in front.
•
Do not remove the wheel guard.
•
Do not use the grinding wheel to cut anything.
•
Do not use anything to stress the grinding wheel.
•
Use a grinding wheel dressing tool to shape or remove
glaze from grinding wheels.
•
Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to maintain
1/8 inch (3.2 mm) or less separation as the diameter of
the wheel decreases with use.
•
Connect to a supply circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
•
Secure the bench grinder to its supporting surface to
prevent the grinder from tipping over, sliding, or walking
on its supporting surface.
A. Replace a cracked wheel immediately.
B. Always use the guards and eye shields.
C. Do not overtighten the wheel nut.
D. Use only flanges furnished with this grinder.
•
Always inspect grinding wheels prior to use for cracks,
missing pieces, etc. Replace wheel immediately before use.
•
USE ONLY GRINDING WHEELS that comply with ANSI
B7.1 and rated greater than 3450 RPM.
•
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing
body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
•
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
•
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.
•
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do
not use in an area where children may be present.
•
NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.
•
SECURE WORK. Always hold the workpiece firmly
against the work rest.
•
DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER if the flange nut or
clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
•
FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath the
grinder.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR ANY
MEDICATION.
•
ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your grinder) to cause a careless
mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction of
a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
•
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
the tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
•
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
