SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Always wear proper eye protection to protect
you from any debris that may fly out while
grinding. We recommend wearing safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
glasses are not safety glasses. If anyone is around
the machine while it is in use, they must wear
safety glasses.
• Keep work area well lit and clean. Make sure
your work area is not cluttered.
• Do not operate unattended. Adult supervision
is required at all times. Never leave the machine
running unattended.
• Do not operate this machine while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
• Never run discs dry. Make sure there is
adequate water used while grinding so that
rock dust is not formed. This dust contains
chemicals that can be hazardous to your lungs
if inhaled and is known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well
ventilated area and wear a face or dust mask if
the grinding operation is dusty.
• Use only water as a coolant.
• Never grind more than one workpiece at a
time.
• Some rocks contain poisonous elements.
Avoid grinding rocks that contain uranium,
mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. Make sure you know
the material you are grinding.
• Do not allow water to run down the shaft
and into the motor. This will cause the motor to
instantly burn out. This machine is designed in such
a way that this does not occur with normal use.
• Do not allow the water level to build up in the
catch tray. Make sure the drainage hole is open
so water does not back-up in the catch tray and
possibly leak down the motor shaft.
• Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job
it is not designed to do.
• Discs continue to spin after turn off,
eventually slowing to a stop.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions. Make sure you have good balance
while working on this machine. A sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the disc.
MAINTENANCE
• Always disconnect from power before
servicing. Disconnect machine from power
source before making any adjustments and when
not in use.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry
the machine by the cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
• Do not open the black cone body. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.
• Clean and dry machine after use.
