equipment such as adjusting keys, wrenches,
scrap, stock, and cleaning rags are removed away
from the machine before turning on.

machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the
guards immediately when maintenance is complete.
15. Make sure the tool is firmly secured to a stable work
surface before use.
16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

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
accidental 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.
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
15. Make sure the tool is firmly secured to a stable work
surface before use.
