2.0 Important safety
instructions
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERY-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before
attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine
and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these
warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or
removed.
4. This machine is designed for grinding and sharpening of
ferrous tools only. Machining of other materials is not
permitted and may be carried out in specific cases only
after consulting with the manufacturer.
5. This machine must be operated only by persons familiar
with its operation and maintenance and who are familiar
with its hazards.
6. Do not use this machine for other than its intended use. If
used for other purposes, Baileigh Industrial disclaims any
real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any
injury that may result from that use.
7. Do not modify the machine.
8. Always wear protective eye wear when operating
machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant, protective
safety glasses with side shields which comply with ANSI
Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in
severe injury from breakage of eye protection. (Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.)
9. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
10. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
11. Wear protective clothing such as apron or safety shoes,
where the grinding activity presents a hazard to the
operator.
12. Avoid wearing gloves when possible. If a glove must be
worn to hold a long-bladed tool, use extra caution that the
glove does not catch and pull the hand into parts of the
machine or a tool blade.
13. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) if the particular work
requires it.
14. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
15. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting the machine to the power supply.
16. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
17. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the
machine unplugged from the power source.
18. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine before turning it on.
19. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine
is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use
extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after
completion of maintenance.
20. Periodically check screws and bolts for tightness.
21. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
22. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and
non-glare, overhead lighting.
23. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap
material, oil and grease.
24. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep
children away.
25. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master
switches or by removing starter keys.
26. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around,
carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless
acts that can result in serious injury.
27. Keep proper footing and balance at all times so that you
do not fall into or lean against the grinding wheel or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to
perform any machine operation.
28. Disconnect grinder from power source before servicing
and when changing abrasive wheels.
29. Use recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
30. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush to
remove chips or debris — do not use bare hands.
31. Never leave the grinder running unattended. Turn power
off and do not leave machine until wheels come to a
complete stop.
32. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from
the area before starting the grinder.
33. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power
tools in damp or wet location, or expose them to rain. Don’t
use this grinder in a flammable environment. Keep work
area well lighted.
34. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.

35. Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
36. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavugh to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table
3 (see sect. 7.2) shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
37. Connection and repair work on the electrical installation
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
38. Tools are sharp and can lead to serious injuries; always
handle them with care.
39. Never perform any operation freehand. Tools to be
sharpened must be held in/on the appropriate fixture and
be guided firmly with both hands to prevent them being
thrown off during the sharpening operation.
40. Never place your hand near the cutting area, grinding
stone and honing wheel while machine is in operation.
41. Never attempt to hone a tool against the rotation – the tool
will be thrown off and the honing wheel will be damaged.
42. Make sure the power cord does not present a tripping
hazard.
43. The stone wheel is designed for wet operation only. Do not
use the wheel dry – it will cause rapid overheating and
potential damage to wheel and the tool being sharpened.
44. Do not overtighten wheel nut.
45. Frequently clean grinding dust from the machine.
46. Inspect abrasive wheels for cracks or other forms of
damage. Perform a “ring test” to check wheel integrity. Do
not use a faulty or damaged wheel.
47. Verify that maximum RPM of abrasive wheels is
compatible with speed of grinder. Do not remove the
blotter (label) from either side of a grinding wheel.
48. Allow wheel to reach full RPM before starting the grinding
operation.
49. Do not crowd the work so that the wheels slow.
50. Do not grind on the side of a wheel; do all work on the
grinding face or edge. The only exception is if the wheel is
specifically rated for side grinding.
51. Do not grind aluminum or magnesium, as these may pose
a fire hazard.
52. Do not start the machine while a workpiece is contacting a
wheel.
WARNING: Some dust, fumes and gases created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, welding, and
other construction activities contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry
products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk of exposure 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 dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles. For more information, go to
http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/ and
http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/wood.
