Additional Safety Instructions For Grinders
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
1. Wear a face shield and/or safety gog-
gles.
2. Use clamps and supports to sharpen
tools.
3. Grinding creates sparks. Make sure
your work area is free of combustible
materials.
4. Dress the grinding wheel when its sur-
face becomes rutted or uneven. Replace
the wheel if the wear or damage
becomes excessive.
5. Do not use a wheel that is cracked or
chipped.
6. Be sure the grinder is mounted on a sta-
ble surface.
7. If you are unclear about operating the
machine, don’t do it. Please call our ser-
vice department if you have questions
about any element of this machine’s
operation.
8. Use care when handling sharpened cut-
ting tools.
Operating this equipment has the potential
for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-
ing glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-
tain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G2790 Universal Knife
Grinder. Accidents are frequently caused
by lack of familiarity or failure to pay atten-
tion. Use this tool with respect and caution
to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If
normal safety precautions are overlooked
or ignored serious personal injury may
occur.
