When it is tilted toward the OFF label, the machine is turned off.
Make sure the switch lever is tilted toward the OFF label before plugging in the cord.

When the plug of the power cord is inserted into the outletand is loose or is easily pulled out, the
outlet should be replaced. For such task, consult your electrician.

switch is turned on while they are in contact with anything else, the wheel may break and it may
cause injuries.

from the exposed sides of the wheel for a moment until the machine reaches full speed.
It is very dangerous to perform grinding operations using cracked or chipped wheels.
Before starting grinding operations, keep the wheel away from anyone nearby. Be sure to make a few
test runs, to check whether there are any abnormalities.
Test run duration:
When replacing a wheel...........................At least 3 minutes
When starting operations each day..........At least 1 minute

When grinding operations are interrupted to replace a wheel
or when you are through with a particular operation, be sure
to turn off the switch.

damage the machine. When halting an operation or replacing a wheel, put the machine in a
safe place where water will not be splashed on it.
When checking the grinding condition, the rotation of wheel or the position of the wheel
during operation, be sure to look through the observation port. (see fig. - 11)
