GR-S200P
23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or
jigs to secure the work piece. This is
safer than attempting to hold the work
piece with your hands.
24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE
DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE
WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO
PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS
DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES,
including wood dust, crystalline silica
dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles
away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area
and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may
cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious lung disease), cancer, and death.
Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid
prolonged contact with dust. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or
lay on your skin may promote absorption
of harmful material. Always use properly
tting AS/NZS approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust
exposure, and wash exposed areas with
soap and water.
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD
IN GOOD CONDITION. Use of extension
cords should be avoided where possible.
When using an extension cord, be sure
to have a cord heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw, and
with compatible pin conguration and
connections (NEVER use an extension
cord rated at less than your machine).
Longer run extensions will need heavier
duty extension cords. Only connect
your extension cord or machine to
a receptacle that accepts your plug
and never modify your plug to suit a
receptacle.
GENERAL SAFETY

CARBATEC.COM.AU
GR-S200P SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIFIC GRINDER SAFETY
The operation of any grinder or power tool
can result in debris being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe and per-
manent eye damage. ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles
(that comply with AS/NZ Standards) when
operating power tools.
Basic precautions should always be followed
when using your bench grinder. To reduce the
risk of injury, electrical shock, or re, comply
with the safety rules listed below:
1. ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS
AND WHEEL GUARDS provided with
the grinder.
2. REPLACE A CRACKED OR DAMAGED
GRINDING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY.
A damaged wheel can discharge debris
at a high velocity towards the operator.
Carefully handle the grinding wheels
since they are abrasive. Prior to replacing
a grinding wheel, check it for cracks.
DO NOT remove the blotter or label on
both sides of the grinding wheel. Tighten
the spindle nut just enough to hold
the grinding wheel rmly to the Bench
Grinder. DO NOT over-tighten the nut.
Excessive clamping force can damage
the grinding wheel. Only use the wheel
anges provided with the grinder. When
selecting a replacement grinding wheel
use only properly sized wheels, and verify
that the grinding wheel has a higher
R.P.M. rating than the maximum R.P.M.
of the Bench Grinder.
3. THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING
WHEELS WILL DECREASE WITH USE.
Adjust the tool rests and spark arrestors
to maintain a distance of 1.5mm from
the wheel.
4. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE
BENCH GRINDER WHEN STARTING IT.
Stand to one side of the Bench Grinder
and turn it “ON”. Wait at the side for one
minute until the grinder comes up to full
speed. There is always a possibility that
debris from a damaged grinding wheel
may be discharged towards the operator.
5. THE BENCH GRINDER WILL
PRODUCE SPARKS AND DEBRIS
DURING GRINDING OPERATIONS.
Be sure that there are not any ammable
materials in the vicinity. Frequently
clean grinding dust from the back
of the Bench Grinder.
6. NEVER FORCE THE WORK PIECE
AGAINST A GRINDING WHEEL,
especially if the wheel is cold. Apply the
work piece slowly, allowing the grinding
wheel an opportunity to warm up.
This will minimize the chance of wheel
breakage. DO NOT grind using the sides
of the grinding wheels. DO NOT apply
coolant directly to the grinding wheel.
7. KEEP ALL WHEEL GUARDS IN PLACE.
Do not use the bench grinder with the
wheel guards removed.
11

FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT CALL 1800 658 111
GR-S200P
8. KEEP THE TOOL RESTS FIRMLY IN
PLACE AND TIGHTENED. Use them to
safely position your material for grinding.
9. ALWAYS USE A WHEEL DRESSER
TO RESURFACE THE FACE OF THE
GRINDING WHEEL. (NOT INCLUDED)
10. DRESS THE GRINDING WHEEL OFTEN.
This will keep the wheel surface at and
free of nicks and residue/glaze.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from grinder before turning it on.
12. ALLOW THE GRINDER TO ATTAIN
FULL SPEED BEFORE BEGINNING
WORK.
13. NEVER STOP THE GRINDER BY
FORCING MATERIAL INTO THE
WHEEL. Let the grinder stop rotating
on its own.
14. SECURE THE BENCH GRINDER to
a stand or workbench to prevent sliding
or tipping during use. See page 17.
15. FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from
inside of the guards and beneath the
grinder.
16. NEVER GRIND SMALL STOCK without
it being properly supported on the tool
rests, and held by pliers or clamps.
17. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform
an operation for which it was not
designed. It will do a safer and higher
quality job by only performing operations
for which the tool was intended.

of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service
personnel if you do not completely under-
stand the grounding instructions, or if you are
not sure the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD
THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.
