that has a grounding conductor. If a property grounded
electhcal receptacle is not available, an adapter as

this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The
adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are

ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND WHEEL
GUARDS provided with the grinder.
REPLACE A CRACKED OR DAMAGED
GRINDING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY. A damaged
wheel can discharge debris at a high velocity
towards the operator. Carefully handle the grinding
wheels since they are abrasive. Prior to replacing a
grinding wheel, check it for cracks. DO NOT remove
the blotter or label on the both sides of the gdnding
wheel. Tighten the spindle nut just enough to hold
the grinding wheel firmly to the Bench Grinder. Do
not over-tighten the nut. Excessive clamping force
can damage the grinding wheel. Only use the wheel
flanges provided with the grinder. When selecting a
replacement grinding wheel, verify that the grinding
wheel has a higher R.P.M. rating than the maximum
R.P.M. of the Bench Grinder.
THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING WHEELS
WILL DECREASE WITH USE. Adjust the tool rests
and spark arrestorsto maintain a distance of 1/16"
from the wheel.
DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE BENCH
GRINDER WHEN STARTING IT. Stand to one side
of the Bench Grinder and turn it "ON". Wait at the
side for one minute untilthe grinder comes up to full
speed. There is always a possibility that debris from
a damaged grindingwheel may be discharged
towards the operator.
THE BENCH GRINDER WILL PRODUCE SPARKS
AND DEBRIS DURING GRINDING OPERATIONS.
Be sure that there are not any flammable materials
in the vicinity. Frequently clean grinding dust from
the back of the Bench Grinder.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BENCH GRINDERS
The operation of any grinder can result in debris being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. ALWAYS Wear Safety Goggles (that comply
with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating the grinder,
Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores. Keep
your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding wheels.

NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST A
GRINDING WHEEL, especially if the wheel is cold.
Apply the workpieca slowly, allowing the grinding
wheel an opportunity to warm up. This will minimize
the chance of wheel breakage. DO NOT gdnd using
the sides of the grinding wheels. DO NOT apply
coolant directly to the grinding wheel.
KEEP ALL WHEEL GUARDS IN PLACE. DO NOT
USE THE BENCH GRINDER WITH THE WHEEL
GUARDS REMOVED.
