GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Tools)
WARNING! Readandunderstand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
WorkArea
1. Keepyour work area clean andwell lit. Clutteredbenches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do notoperatepowertools in explosiveatmospheres, suchas in thepresence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may
ignitethe dustor fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractionscan causeyouto loose control.
ElectricalSafety
4. DoubleInsulatedtoolsareequipped with apolarized plug (onebladeiswider
than the other.) This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminatesthe needfor the three wire
grounded powercordandgroundedpower supply system.
5. Avoid body contact with groundedsurfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
6. Don't expose power tools torain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
toolwill increasethe risk
of electricshock.
7. Do notabusethecord. Never usethe cordtocarry thetoolsor pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharpedges or movingparts.
Replacedamagedcordsimmediately. Damagedcords increasethe risk
of electric
shock.
8. Whenoperatingapowertooloutside, usean outdoor extension cordmarked
"W-A" or
"W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electricshock.
PersonalSafety
9. Stayalert, watchwhat youaredoingand usecommonsensewhenoperating
a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may resultinserious personalinjury.

10. Dressproperly. Donotwearlooseclothing or jewelry. Containlonghair. Keep
your hair, clothing, andglovesawayfrommovingparts. Looseclothes, jewelry
or longhaircanbecaught inmovingparts.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
oninvitesaccidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys
or switches before turning thetool on. A wrench or
akeythat is leftattachedtoarotatingpartof thetool may result inpersonal injury.
13. Donotoverreach. Keepproperfootingandbalanceatalltimes. Properfooting
andbalance enables bettercontrolof thetool inunexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.
Tool UseandCare
15. Use clamps
or other practical way tosecure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
andmay leadto
loss of control.
16. Do notforce tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will dothejob betterand safer at the ratefor which
it isdesigned.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlledwiththeswitch isdangerous and mustberepaired.
18. Disconnectthe plug fromthepower source beforemakingany adjustments,
changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reducetheriskof startingthetoolaccidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrainedpersons. Tools
aredangerous inthe handsof untrainedusers.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
tocontrol.
21. Checkfor misalignment or binding of movingparts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have
thetoolservice before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
whenusedonanother tool.
Service
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identicalreplacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock
of injury.

SpecificSafetyRules
1. Always useproper guard with grindingwheel. A guard protectsoperator from
brokenwheelfragments
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool
warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can
fly apart and cause injury.
3. Holdtoolbyinsulatedgripping surfaceswhen performinganoperationwhere
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
4. Keepguards in place.
5. Useonly wheels havingamaximumoperating speed at least as
high as "No
Load RPM" markedonthetool's nameplate. When using depressed center
wheels, besuretouseonlyfiberglass-reinforcedwheels.
6. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace
crackedor damagedwheel immediately.
7. Useonly flangesspecifiedforthistool.
8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especiallythe installing
surface)
or the lock nut. Damagetothese partscould result in wheel break-
age.
9. Holdthetoolfirmly.
IO. Keephandsawayfrom rotatingparts.
11. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turnedon.
12. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch
for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balancedwheel.

Hold the tool firmlv. Turn the tool on and
I
then apply the wheel or disc to the work-
piece.
In general, keep the edge
of the wheel or
disc at an angle of about
15" to the work-
piece surface.
During the break-in period with a new
wheel, do not work the grinder in the B
direction or
it will cut into the workpiece.
Once the edge on the wheel has been
rounded off
by use, the wheel may be
worked inboth
A and B direction.

WARNING:
*It should never be necessaryto force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate
pressure. Forcingand excessive pressurecouldcause dangerouswheel breakage.
Continued use of
a worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal
injury. Depressed center wheel should not be used after it has been worn down to
90 mm (3-1/2") indiameter. Useof the wheel after this point is unsafe and it shouldbe
removedfrom serviceandrenderedunusableby intentionaldestruction.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unpluggedbefore attempting to perform
inspectionor maintenance.
