Failure
to
follow
the
SAFETY

identified
by
BULLET

symbol
listed
BELOW
and
other
safety
precautions,
may
result
in
serious
personal
injury.
Safety
Rules
for
Grinders
*
When
using
grinding
wheel
attachments,
the
guard
must
always
be
attached
to
the
tool
and
positioned
for
maximum
safety,
so
the
least
amount
of
wheel
is
exposed
from
the
side
the
toot
is
being
operated.
¢
Before
using
a
grinder
or
installing
a
new
wheel,
inspect
the
grinding
wheel
for
chips
and
cracks.
Remove
bad
wheels
im-
mediately.
Run
the
tool
at
no
load
for
one
minute,
holding
the
tool
in
the
direction
away
from
people.
Wheels
with
flaws
will
normally
break
apart
during
this
time.
:
°
Carefully
handie
both
the
tool
and
individual
grinding
wheels
to
avoid
chipping
or
cracking.
Inspect
grinding
wheel
before
using.
Do
not
use
a
grinding
wheel
that
is
cracked.
If
tool
is
dropped
while
grinding,
install
a
new
wheel.
Do
not
use
a
wheel
that
may
be
darnaged.
* Grinding wheels or any other accessory must have a maximum
safe operating speed greater than the “no load RPM” marked on
the tool’s nameplate.
¢ Do not use grinding wheel that is larger than the maximum
recommended size for your tool, or worn down darnaged wheels
from larger grinders.
* Do not use depressed hub grinding wheels for cutoff operations.
¢ Do not use this tool with “Woodcarving” blade, such blades
create frequent kick-back and loss of control.
*
Proper
apparel
while
using
a
grinder
includes:
face
shield
or
at
least
safety
goggles,
dust
mask,
leather
gloves
and
shop
apron
capable
of
stopping
small
wheel
or
work
piece
fragments.
° Keep cord away from the grinding wheels or any other sanding
accessory.
¢ Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when work-
ing corners, sharp edges, etc. This can cause loss of contro! and
kick-back.
*
Clean
the
tool's
air
vents
by
compressed
air
or
excessive
accu-
mulation
of
powdered
metal
inside
the
motor
housing
may
cause
electrical
failures,
* Do not grind or sand near flammable materials, as sparks from
the wheel could ignite these materials.
e When sanding, do not use oversized sanding disc. Larger sand-
ing disc will extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging,
tearing of the disc or kick-back. Extra paper extending beyond the
sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
¢ When sanding chemically pressure treated lumber, paint that
may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain car-
cinogens, use special precautions. A suitable breathing respirator
must be worn by all personnel entering the work area. Work area
should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected
should be kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
Double Insulated Tools
* Double Insulation [] is a design concept used in electric power
tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded pow-
er cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized
and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and
Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a too! with double insulation requires
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only
by a qualified service technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS. If your tool is equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not change the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
* Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords
can shock, burn or electrocute.
° If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size
conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop,
loss of power or overheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of
tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and
CSA listed extension cords.
