16. New wheels may require dressing to make them round. Use a grinding wheel dressing tool (not included) to
shape or remove glaze from grinding wheels.
17. Keep the distance between the wheel and tool rest at most a 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) space. Adjust the work rest ac-
cordingly as the wheel grinds down to a smaller diameter with use over time.
18. Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators,
ranges, refrigerator enclosure, etc.
19. Never reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the grinding path of the
wheel.
20. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
wheel. Always make sure you have good balance.
21. Do not turn the switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the wheel to loosen and create a hazard. Should this
ever occur, stand clear and allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your grinder from the power
supply and retighten the wheel nut securely.
22. Frequently clean grinding dust from beneath the grinder.
24. If any part of this grinder is missing, broken, bent, or damaged in any way, or if any electrical component fails to
perform properly, shut off the power switch, remove the machine plug from the power source and have the dam-
aged, missing, or failed parts replaced before operation.
