WARNING!
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from
bricks and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)
GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided
with the tool or product. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools with Three Prong Plugs
The Bench Grinder comes with a 3-prong grounded plug.
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord
to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only
wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
