Be sure to check voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming power source.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the
outlet.
 Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or
extension cord and power receptacle.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
 Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use
non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection
when appropriate.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on
the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
BENCH GRINDER USE AND CARE
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
