FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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

familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge

is safety.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended

electrical connections to prevent shock or

electrocution.

4. ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED BLOTTER AND

WHEEL FLANGES to mount the grinding wheels on

the grinder shaft to prevent wheel damage or acciden-

tal separation. Separation can result in fragments

flying 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

machine 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 securely

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 grinder

for one full minute before applying the workpiece. A

cold wheel has a tendency to chip. Those fragments

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 machine

and/or serious injury.

16. CLEAN THE MACHINE thoroughly when processing

different types of workpieces (wood, steel, or

aluminum). 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

LIQUIDS. Sparks can create a fire or an explosion.

18. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS. 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

serious 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 grinding

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

workpiece 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

machine from the power source, and clean the

table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK

THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent

unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally

start the machine and cause serious injury to

themselves.

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

available 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.

and use them to instruct others.
