2.

OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

3.

FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.

4.

ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED BLOTTER AND

WHEEL FLANGES to mount the grinding wheels on the grinder shaft to prevent wheel damge or accidental separation. Separation can result in fragments flying off the wheel at high speeds.

5.

USE ONLY WHEELS suitable for the speed of the machine. Unsuitable grinding wheels can come apart, throwing fragments out at high speeds.

6.

USE ONLY WHEELS that have a bore exactly equal to the arbors of the machine. Never attempt to machine an undersized wheel to fit an arbor.

Unsuitable grinding wheels can come apart, throwing fragments out at high speeds.

7.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN WHEEL NUT.

8.

DO NOT USE A WHEEL THAT VIBRATES. Dress the grinding wheel, replace it, or replace the bearings of the shaft. Unsuitable grinding wheels can come apart, throwing fragments at high speeds.

9.

INSPECT WHEELS before starting the machine for cracks or fragments. REPLACE DAMAGED WHEELS immediately. Parts of the wheel can be thrown at high speeds causing serious injury.

10.

ADJUST EYE SHIELDS close to the grinding wheel, and re-adjust as the wheel wears down. Flying sparks are dangerous and can cause fires or explosions.

11.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE the eye shields are in place, properly adjusted, and secured.

12.

ADJUST TOOL RESTS close to the grinding wheel

(1/8" separation or less). Tighten the tool rest securely to prevent shifting positions, and re-adjust as the wheel wears down. The workpiece can be drawn into the wheel, causing damage to the workpiece and/or serious injury.

13.

STAND TO ONE SIDE before turning the machine

“ON”. Loose fragments or wheel parts could fly from the wheel at high speeds.

14.

NEVER GRIND ON A COLD WHEEL. Run the grinder for one full minute before applying the workpiece. A cold wheel has a tendency to chip. Those fragments could fly from the wheel at high speeds.

15.

NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece against the grinding wheel. The workpiece can be drawn into the wheel, causing damage to the machine and/or serious injury.

16.

CLEAN THE MACHINE thoroughly when processing different types of workpieces (wood, steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and metal dust can create an explosion or fire hazard. DO NOT GRIND

OR POLISH MAGNESIUM. Fire will result.

17.

NEVER GRIND NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR

LIQUIDS. Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.

18.

AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the grinding wheel.

19.

KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the wheel. The abrasive surfaces can cause serious injury.

20.

HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the tool rest. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.

21.

DRESS THE WHEEL on the face only. Dressing the side of the wheel could cause it to become too thin for safe use.

22.

GRIND A WORKPIECE using the face of the grinding wheel only. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.

23.

NEVER APPLY COOLANT directly to the grinding wheel. Coolant can weaken the bonding strength of the grinding wheel and cause it to fail. Dip the workpiece in water to cool it.

24.

DO NOT TOUCH the ground portion of a workpiece until it has cooled sufficiently. Grinding creates heat.

25.

PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-

PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.

26.

NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, or set-up work on the table/work area when the machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the wheel. Severe injury can result.

27.

TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine from the power source, and clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK

THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally start the machine and cause serious injury to themselves.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120 volts 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if t h e g r o u n d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s a r e n o t c o m p l e t e l y understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in

Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE
