WARNING:
SAFETY RULES
For your own safety, read all of the instructions and precautions before operating tool.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by using power tools contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.
WARNING:
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with the use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical plug should be plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.

• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may affect a tool’s operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order repair parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool from power when changing accessories such as grinding wheels, buffing wheels and the like.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and grinding surfaces.
• Never leave a tool running unat tended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped over.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Understand and obey all safety instructions supplied with accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Do not over tighten wheel nut. Replace cracked wheel immediately. Use only flanges supplied with the grinder.
• Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to maintain 1/16” or less gap.
• Handle the workpiece correctly. Whenever possible, use tool rest to support workpiece during grinding operation. Turn tool off if it jams.
• Always use guards and eyeshields.
• Clean grinding dust from beneath tool frequently.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
