GUIDELINES FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors,be sure
it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized,and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL.Serious injury could
result if the tool tips over or you accidentally contact
the tool.
18. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool
where anyone might try to stand on the tool to
reach it.
19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend
yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubbersoled
shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.
20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.Always keep tools
clean and in good working order. Keep all blades
and tool bits sharp.
21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED
PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.Carefully
check all guards to see that they operate properly,
are not damaged, and perform their intended func-
tions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of
moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be immediately repaired or replaced.
22. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov-
ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.
23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
24. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use
clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is
safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with
your hands.
25. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION.When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw.The table at right shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt
of the proper size of an extension cord, use a short-
er and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-
DOWN,grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.If it will not
fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip-
ment 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 qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
Fig. A
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A.FIGURE A
shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as
shown in FIGURE B can be used to temporarily con-
nect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle.
The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
This Bench Grinder is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
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.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BENCH GRINDERS
The operation of any grinder can result in debris being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply
with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating the grinder.
Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores.
Keep your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding
wheels.
1. ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND WHEEL
GUARDS provided with the grinder.
2. REPLACE A CRACKED OR DAMAGED GRIND-
ING 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 firmly to the Bench Grinder.Do not
over-tighten the nut. Excessive clamping force can
