Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is

completely assembled and installed according to the

instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can

cause serious injury.

2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or

another qualified person if you are not thoroughly fa-

miliar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge

is safety.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended

electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocu-

tion.

4. ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED BLOTTER AND

WHEEL FLANGES to mount the grinding wheels on

the grinder shaft to prevent wheel damge or acciden-

tal separation. Separation can result in fragments fly-

ing 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 ma-

chine 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 secure-

ly 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 grind-

er for one full minute before applying the workpiece.

A cold wheel has a tendency to chip. Those frag-

ments 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 ma-

chine and/or serious injury.

16. CLEAN THE MACHINE thoroughly when processing

different types of workpieces (wood, steel, or alumi-

num). 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 LIQ-

UIDS. Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.

18. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND PO-

SITIONS. 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 seri-

ous 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 grind-

ing 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 work-

piece 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 ma-

chine from the power source, and clean the table/

work area before leaving the machine. LOCK THE

SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent un-

authorized use. Someone else might accidentally

start the machine and cause serious injury to them-

selves.

and proper operation of power tools (i.e. a safety

video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300

Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.

able from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring

Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to

the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1

Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines

and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213

Regulations.
