Ensure that power tools are disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments and when changing accessories such as blades,
Always use the correct type of grinding wheel for the type of
operation to be carried out and the material being machined.
Do not use a grinding wheel as a cutting disc.
Only use grinding wheels that are in good condition. This will
improve grinding and reduce the load on the Machine ensuring
a longer life of the grinding wheel and the machine.
Never use damaged grinding wheels. Grinding wheels that are
cracked, chipped or worn could shatter causing injury to the
operator and bystanders and damage to the machine.
Do not use grinding wheels that are larger than specified,
only use grinding wheels that are rated for the machine. The
rotational speed shown on the grinding wheel should always
be HIGHER than the rotational speed of the Machine. Use only
grinding wheels that are recommended by the manufacturer.
Always fit the blotter or paper washers on either side of the
When fitting a new wheel ensure blotters are in place, fit
concave side of washers to face the wheel and tighten the lock
Do not Over tighten (over tightening can crack a grinding
wheel). Do not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories
Do not use excessive force on the grinding wheel. Only use
gradual pressure as this will reduce the wear on the bench
grinder and grinding wheels and increase its efficiency and
Use approved safety glasses or goggles, face mask and if being
used for an extended period wear ear defenders.
Do not start the machine with the work piece in contact with the
grinding wheel or before checking the position of the tool rest.
Never apply the work piece to the side of the grinding wheel, this
could cause the grinding wheel to shatter.
Keep Guards in place and in good working order. With the
machine disconnected from the mains supply check that the
guards are secure and fitted correctly.
Always keep the tool rest as close to the grinding wheel as
possible. The gap between the tool rest and the grinding wheel
should be no more than 3mm.
Do not attempt to grind objects that are too small to hold safely.
Do not use the work piece to slow down the grinding wheel once
the machine has been switched off.
Do not use Bench Grinders in areas where there is a risk of
explosion or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids,
paint, varnish, petrol etc. flammable gases and dust of an
explosive nature. As a precaution it is recommended that you
consult an expert on a suitable fire extinguisher and its use.
The metal particles (Sparks) which are produced during grinding
are hot and could ignite any combustible material in the vicinity

Check for the correct alignment of moving parts
ensuring they do not bind. Check for broken or
missing parts and have them replaced or repaired at
an authorised service centre. If the power tool
requires mounting make sure it is securely attached
to a suitable work bench. Check any other condition
that may affect the operation of the power tool.
A guard or any other part of the power tool that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must be
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Do not use the power tool if the ON/OFF switch does
not turn the power tool ON and OFF.
Warning!
Do not attempt to modify the power tool in any
way. The use of any attachment or accessory other
than those recommended in this instruction manual
could result in damage to the power tool and injury
to the operator.
Have your power tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric power tool complies with national and
international standards and safety requirements.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts. Failure to do so
may result in considerable danger to the user.
Protect Furnishings
If using the power tool inside your house protect
furnishings and floors with a suitable dust sheet.
Fire Precautions
When using certain power tools inside your house or
workshop general fire precautions should be
observed. As a precaution it is recommended that an
expert is consulted on obtaining and using a suitable
fire extinguisher.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Extreme Caution Required
Be aware that the paint on old metal and wood could
contain high levels of lead. Extreme care should be
taken when sanding painted surfaces. The dust may
contain LEAD which, if touched, ingested or inhaled
will cause poisoning and can be fatal.
Any pre 1960 building may have had paint containing
lead, used on wood or metal structures and surfaces.
STOP!
If you suspect paint in your house contains lead seek
professional help.
Once lead is in the body it is retained until a fatal level
is reached. Small amounts of exposure can cause
irreversible brain and nervous system damage. The
young and unborn are particularly at risk.
WARNING!
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that
can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the
use of an approved face mask with replaceable filters
when using this machine in addition to using the dust
extraction facility.
